About this episode
We examine the financial security of the baby boomer generation, specifically the "peak boomers" born between 1959 and 1964. The significant challenges this group faces in retirement, is largely due to a shift from defined benefit pension plans to defined contribution plans. The rise and subsequent decline of pensions, driven by factors like union negotiations, economic shifts, and changing demographics, have contributed to this predicament. The importance of individual retirement planning and the need for adequate savings to secure a comfortable retirement is stressed.
