The NRPC made great strides last year by educating
Americans on the need for and issues surrounding retirement
planning, said Stein.
This year our goal is to
take it a step further by providing specific guidance to help Americans
overcome many of the challenges they will face not only in the retirement
planning process, but also during their retirement years. The Coalition has
identified a number of risks that may very well determine the quality of our
retirement years, and plans to show in a readily understandable way how
people can protect against these risks and ensure financial security.
