Feeling Desperate?
The retirement crisis in America is real…
According to a recent Bankrate study…
- 20% of Americans have NOTHING saved for retirement
- Another 20% have saved less than 5% of their annual income
- Less than 33% of Americans have saved 11% or more of their annual income.
And the COVID-19 pandemic is about to make it all a lot worse…
A whole lot worse.
According to Richard Johnson – the director of the Program on Retirement Policy at the Urban Institute – the value of Americans’ retirement accounts has shrunk from $18 trillion in 2019 to $14 trillion this year (through April 3).
That’s a staggering 22% decrease!
It’s no wonder that we get dozens of questions from readers each week about how to right the ship…

(And Marc would know. He’s written a couple of books on the topic.)
But what he has to say in his latest YouTube video may shock you…
