Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
The Retirement Crisis
Scott Thorpe · 2011
45/100
👎 Skip It
This one lays out a real problem — a huge wave of Boomers hitting retirement without enough saved — but at just 31 pages it barely gets past the headline before it's over. The ideas about pensions and quantitative easing are interesting seeds, not fully grown arguments. Fine for a five-minute overview, but don't expect a game plan.
