Retirement savings have changed dramatically over the decades. Gone are the days when most workers could count on a pension to fund their golden years. Today, the responsibility of saving for retirement largely falls on you—through 401(k)s, IRAs, and personal investments. But what led to this shift, and how does it impact your financial future?

In this episode, we break down:

✅ The rise and fall of pensions – Why companies moved away from traditional pension plans

✅ The shift to 401(k)s – How employer-sponsored retirement plans became the new norm

✅ The impact on retirement savings today – What this means for those nearing retirement

✅ Creating your own ‘private pension’ – How annuities can provide lifetime income security

✅ What you can do now – Smart moves to boost your retirement savings

With pensions disappearing and Social Security’s future uncertain, having a solid retirement plan is more important than ever. Whether you're playing catch-up or just getting started, we’ll give you actionable steps to secure your financial future.
