America Is Facing a Retirement Crisis
America is in the midst of a crisis when it comes to retirement planning! Only 16 percent of Americans are very confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement. Worse, fewer than half of all Americans have even tried to calculate how much money they will need to have saved by the time they retire in order to live comfortably in their golden years. This crisis is compounded by the looming transition of the baby boomers into retirement. It is one of the most serious public policy issues of our time. The time for definitive and decisive
action is now!

 BevAnn Bonds host of High Achiever Radio and efficiency expert, entrepreneur, and virtual assistant of Business Support Solutions, spoke with Keith Green the Founder and the voice behind The American Retirement Initiative.
