Pam Krueger is the creator and co-host of MoneyTrack, seen on more than 250 PBS stations around the country, and the co-host of the popular Friends Talk Money podcast. Through her company, Wealthramp, Pam has spent decades helping households -- poor, middle class, and rich -- get the very best financial advice. She has a terrific Substack called CountUp that “flips the script on retirement.” Instead of counting down, it focuses “on building up—your savings, your confidence, and your future.”
I recently joined Pam, Richard Eisenberg, and Terry Savage on a podcast -- * Social Security Insolvency: What It Really Means for Your Retirement. *This is a follow-up
As you’ll see/hear, Social Security is the huge tip of a massive iceberg. You won’t hear this from any of our “leaders.” But our only salvation is radical reform of Social Security, healthcare, taxes, and welfare. Read this book to see what’s needed. This won’t happen with business as usual -- politicians who care far more about the next election than the next generation. As I argue, we need one of our 3K billionaires to step up and form a third party with two candidates -- themselves and their appointed VP. Their task is to a) get on the ballot in all states and b) spell out the radical reforms that will save our future, i.e., our children, before it’s too late.
