The publication provides the following information: Kiyosaki emphasizes the need for individuals to take control of their financial futures in light of these changes.
Переход от гарантированных пенсий к 401(k) планам
Kiyosaki highlights the transition from guaranteed pensions to 401(k) plans, a shift that began with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in 1974. He argues that this change has left many retirees vulnerable, as they may not have sufficient savings to support themselves in retirement.
Проблемы с Social Security и Medicare
Additionally, Kiyosaki points out the looming challenges facing Social Security and Medicare, which could further exacerbate the financial struggles of older Americans. He stresses the critical need for improved financial literacy education in schools, advocating for a curriculum that equips students with essential money management skills to prepare them for future financial challenges.
