The Retirement Gamble

Saving money in a piggy bank

This documentary is about the retirement crisis in America. Many people are worried about not having enough money to retire comfortably. The documentary explores the reasons for this crisis, including the decline of traditional pensions and the high fees associated with many 401k plans.



The documentary also looks at some of the challenges that people face in saving for retirement, such as the complexity of 401k plans and the lack of financial literacy. Some people are worried that they will have to work for the rest of their lives, while others are hoping to win the lottery or inherit money from their parents (good luck!).

The documentary ends with a call for reform of the retirement system. Frontline argues that the current system is not working for most Americans and that changes need to be made to make it more fair and equitable.
