Making the Case Against the 401(k)

Making the Case Against the 401(k)

Professor Teresa Ghilarducci, a labor economist and retirement expert at The New School for Social Research, has been arguing for years that the 401(k), which was never intended to be the primary retirement savings vehicle for most American workers, only helps high earners and is riddled with misaligned incentives. She joins The Express to make the case for a new government sponsored retirement savings account that she says is more equitable and provides a pathway to allowing workers to not run out of money once they stop working. Plus, new record highs keep coming for the stock market, but by all accounts, this bull market is pretty tame.
