02.19.25 Your Savings Rate / Running Out Of Money In Retirement

Listen Later

One of the most popular pages on Clark.com is our Best High Yield Online Savings Accounts article, because we all want to get the most interest on our cash. Capital One was recently accused of cheating customers out of interest rate payments - so how do you ensure you are getting best rates? Also - several high profile celebrities have revealed that they have run out of retirement savings. It just goes to show that it’s not how much you make, but how much you save. Avoid the MPC (Marginal Propensity to Consume) trap that has drained dry even the wealthiest of earners.
