11. “…The biggest factor in whether the 401(k) works as designed has to do with when you retire. If the market rises that year, you're fine. If you retired last year, you're toast. And the chances of your becoming a victim of this huge flaw in the 401(k) plan are pretty high.

And the chances of your becoming a victim of this huge flaw in the 401(k) plan are pretty high. The market fell in four of the nine years since the beginning of the decade. That means anyone retiring this decade had a nearly 50% chance of leaving work in a down market.

In fact, your chances of retiring into a down market are even greater than that: forced retirements spike in recessions just as the stock market is tanking.”

14. “Guaranteed accounts don't have to be run by the government. The ERISA Industry Committee that represents the nation's largest employers, has proposed a system that would allow individuals the ability to buy a guaranteed retirement account on their own. Some government regulation would be needed, but it would be a ‘Private Plan’ .”

16. “But the policy would be portable. Contribute for 30 years and you would be guaranteed income in retirement, no matter how many employers you worked for. Combine yourretirement-insurance check with the money you get from Social Security, which can equal as much as 50% of final pay, and presto: you have something approachingretirement security.”
