In this episode, the boys talk about the history of retirement in the United States. Over time the concept of retirement has changed. As people live longer lives, government and corporations have adapted their approach to retirement planning from pension plans to contribution plans like 401k’s. We detail the history of that evolution and discuss the key moments that have brought us up to 2020 as well as some of the problems that exist in the system. Next week, we will examine the future of retirement.
Before that, we analyze the broad markets during our Skyline. Stocks have been selling recently, breaking below technical levels. When volatility increases, emotions tend to increase as well for individuals. We analyze all of the important themes developing in the markets today across stocks, commodities, currencies and economics in this weekly segment.
Lastly, Coach Mark asks Tim and Matt to guess the best 10 places to retire in our weekly game. If you could retire anywhere, where would you go? Someplace warm? A state? A country? We have some fun guessing what the top destinations are.
