Published: Nov. 10, 2006, 3:51 p.m.

I received an email from a subscriber (thanks Helen) suggesting that I watch the PBS Frontline special titled \u201cCan You Afford to Retire\u201d. I was so impressed with the program that I have decided to focus today\u2019s podcast entirely on the special.

The focus of the program is on the changing retirement landscape.

1974 Retirement Funding:
11% Employee
89% Employer

2006 Retirement Funding:
51% Employee
49% Employer

\u201cDefined Pensions\u201d: The Endangered Species

...and more.
