We’re all human meaning we all forget things. We forget someone’s name … we forget our email password … we forget old 401(k) accounts. Wait … what? Do people really forget about something as big as a retirement account? You bet they do. In fact, Market Watch says there are currently 24 million “forgotten” 401(k) accounts! And collectively, those accounts hold 1-point-3 trillion dollars in assets! I’m guessing that’s not good?

And one-in-five thought it comes from a target date fund. John explains if there is such a thing as lifetime income and if there is, how does it work?
