Are you sure you'll never retire?

On this episode of Talking Real Money, Don and Tom talk about the recent survey showing that one in four Americans are not planning to retire. They discuss the reasons why people might say that, why this is unrealistic, and then uncover some of the real reasons behind this assertion. The truth is, not retiring might not be an option for you should you face health issues due to aging and if the company you work for decides to 'move into a different direction'. They also discuss annuities and how they’ve been abused by insurance companies and advise you on what to look out for so that you can protect your best interests.
