One Investment Could Save Two Generations' Retirements

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - May 22, 2015

The goal of a comfortable retirement is getting more challenging by the day.

That's overwhelmingly thanks to the Fed's Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP).

A recent poll reveals Generation Xers, the next wave of retirees to follow the Baby Boomers, expect to be a whole lot more self-sufficient.

With Social Security considered bankrupt by many accounts, it's little wonder.

That leaves investors increasingly reliant on themselves to build their own retirement nest eggs to generate income.

And this investment does the job - and more...

Prepare Now for When the New MyRA Becomes "TheirRA"

By Peter Krauth, Resource Specialist, Money Morning - February 10, 2014

In his recent State of the Union Address, President Obama unveiled something new: a retirement savings account to "help" Americans build a nest egg, coining it the "MyRA."

Something immediately felt wrong about the proposal... but I couldn't put my finger on it.

So I researched the new MyRA and found details to help you understand just how it works.

But I also saw some potential dangers there that you need to prepare for now...

America's Bestselling Retirement "Plan" Is Jeopardizing - of All Things - Your Retirement

By Robert Hsu, Editor, Permanent Wealth Investor - December 13, 2013

I recently received a call from "Russ," a client of mine. He was wondering why the investments he holds at my money management firm have gone up so much more than the money he's entrusted to a major fund broker.
I'd be wondering, too.
That's because, in a year filled with hundreds of 52-week highs and a broad market that climbed roughly 25%, they've managed to "grow" Russ' money all of... 2%?
It didn't take long to find out why.
It's estimated that by 2020, nearly $3.85 trillion will be invested in the same "one-click" mutual fund industry's bestsellers that Russ did: "Target Retirement Funds."
I'm so glad he called.
These "funds of funds" are dangerous. They're far too simplistic, automatically adjusting your investments based largely on one factor: your age. And that just doesn't work anymore.

In fact, these "solutions" are more dangerous than they've ever been...

The Most Dangerous Myth About Retirement Investing

By Robert Hsu, Editor, Permanent Wealth Investor - July 23, 2013

As Baby Boomers start retiring in droves, they face the Great Retirement Investing Crisis: they have nowhere near the amount of funds it takes to retire comfortably. And most haven't even thought how much money it will take to finance a comfortable retirement, let alone achieve financial independence.
They must look beyond wealth preservation, toward wealth generation for retirement. Boomers must learn to make money instead of just looking for so-called income plays.
Income investors beware: As we enter a new rising rate environment, it's actually more risky to aggressively chase yields than to aggressively chase growth.
Sometimes the best defense is going on offense and right now is one of those times...

This Single Statistic Scares Me to Death

By William Patalon III, Executive Editor, Money Morning - June 12, 2013

The Retirement DerailersSM survey found that a staggering 90% of American investors (aged 50 to 70, and with $100,000 or more in investment assets) have been blitzed by at least one "derailer" - an unexpected event that has put a hefty dent in their retirement savings goals.

But we have a strategy that can keep you in control of your assets, even when it seems the train is leaving the tracks...

How 401(k) Fees Are Costing You 33% of Your Nest Egg

By Gary Gately, Associate Editor, Money Morning - May 31, 2013

If you have a 401(k) chances are you're getting ripped off and you don't even know it.

With all of the associated 401(k) fees, the truth is you could be losing as much as 33% of your retirement nest egg to the financial advisors who run your plan.

Typically, these fees are completely buried in your 401(k) statement-- and even if you do manage to find out how much they are, the fees won't seem like much at first glance.

But overtime, the fees can literally cost you a small fortune.

How Ben Bernanke Is Destroying Your Retirement

By Martin Hutchinson, Global Investing Specialist, Money Morning - May 23, 2013

Baby boom retirements are destined to be thoroughly miserable, mostly thanks to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Those with funded pension plans will find their plans in bankruptcy, while those without pensions - the IRA and 401(k) majority - will simply find the bankruptcy transferred to their own finances.

To find out why this is happening and what can done about it, read on...

Obama Turns America's Retirement Dreams into Nightmares

By Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report - April 29, 2013

There is something outrageous contained just 18 short pages into President Obama's budget that has the power to affect every American's future in a very direct way -- your retirement.

A move is underway that could turn all your hard-earned IRA and retirement cash into a slush fund for the Federal government...and there's nothing you can do about it unless you act now.

Here are the unbelievable details...

A New Blueprint for Retirement Savings

By Guest Editorial, Money Morning - April 8, 2013

Retirement savings aren't delivering enough for us to live on after we stop working. It's not just that we aren't doing the right calculations; it's also that we aren't always using the right tools. 401(k)s and pension plans aren't cutting it anymore.

The Scariest Facts about America's Retirement Crisis

By kdowdle, Money Morning - March 20, 2013

Americans' dreams of the "golden years" have increasingly become tarnished by harsh financial realities.

Indeed, a new survey of U.S. employees and retirees presents a disturbing portrait of the retirement crisis - among both current workers and retirees.

Longer life expectancies, stagnant wages and the uncertainty surrounding Social Security benefits have made it harder than ever to save enough to live comfortably in retirement.

The 23rd annual Retirement Confidence Survey by the non-profit, non-partisan Employee Benefit Research Institute - which polls both workers and retirees -found only 13% of American workers and 18% of retirees are "very confident" they have or will have enough money to retire comfortably. And 49% of workers said they are either "not at all" or "not too" confident they will have enough money to enjoy retirement.

"Not only do workers lack confidence about their ability to secure a financially secure retirement overall, but more and more, they lack confidence in their ability to pay for medical expenses and even basic expenses such as food, clothing and shelter," Jack VanDerhi, research director at EBRI, said in a statement.

These statistics show just how difficult it has become for Americans to save enough for retirement.

It has been called the "royal road to riches."

All you need is time.

Retirement Concerns Plague U.S. Baby Boomers

By Kerri Shannon, Associate Editor, Money Morning - March 16, 2011

Retirement used to be synonymous with leisure and travel. Americans believed that decades of hard work and thriftiness would make for a prosperous and successful life they could enjoy after their jobs - the "American Dream."

Now retirement doesn't evoke the same sense of tranquility for most U.S. workers. Instead, economic anxiety has taken its toll.

Americans used to ride a "three-lane highway" into retirement: a traditional pension, Social Security, and individual savings plans, like 401(k)s.

But the recent economic downturn packed a devastating punch to many 401(k) accounts, U.S. households have dipped into savings to make ends meet, and debt-laden federal, state and local governments will have trouble meeting pension and Social Security obligations.

As the first of the 78 million U.S. Baby Boomers start to retire, most of them worry they don't have enough retirement savings to support them in their post-work years.
