America’s retirement system is out of date, and there are currently millions of retirees who don’t have enough saved. It’s clear we need a plan — not just for our own retirements, but for our nation — because we all deserve to feel financially secure in the next chapter of our lives. Ben Harris, former assistant secretary for economic policy at the U.S. Treasury Department, joins us to break down what’s wrong with America’s retirement system, what policymakers and employers can do to fix it, and how women can better prepare for their financial futures. In Mailbag, we answer questions about saving money in the event of a divorce and determining your budget for a new home. In our money tip of the week, how to make remote work relationships work.
