The Retirement Land That Time Forgot – The Video

Posted by

K-12 teachers 403(b) plans aren’t covered by stringent government ERISA regulations? What the hell is that about? When NO ONE is responsible for the investment selections, bad things happen.

K-12 403(b) plans are the investment world’s version of the land that time forgot. Don’t believe us? Go take your arguments to Barron’s or yesterday’s edition of the Wall Street Journal. They published an article and editorial on this national disgrace.

Better yet, watch this video I did with Josh. If this doesn’t make your blood boil, check your pulse.
