As benefits are cut and Social Security approaches possible insolvency, retirees are being asked to work longer and accept fewer benefits. Is this inevitable, or is an alternative outcome possible? On this episode of Decoding Retirement, host Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with Teresa Ghilarducci, Professor of Economics at The New School, about challenging the conventional assumptions around retirement. Teresa discusses the 'retirement gap,' the ways retirees can speak out against cuts, and how guaranteed retirement accounts could be an effective way to support Americans through their golden years.
