Am I saving enough for retirement? Will I outlive my money? Can I count on Social Security?

These are but a few of the nagging questions most every American grapples with when contemplating retirement.

Gopi Shah Goda (https://profiles.stanford.edu/gopi-goda?tab=bio) of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) (https://siepr.stanford.edu/welcome) says that the migration from once ubiquitous and relatively secure pension programs to today’s self-directed retirement plans are producing anxiety and indecision in retirement planning precisely at the worst time, and it could spell a coming crisis. Throw in a teetering Social Security system and it’s no wonder so many Americans do not know when — or if — they will ever truly retire.
