Yes, you read that right. The U.S. national debt is almost $20 TRILLION.
It's so bad that if every U.S. citizen were to try to help and pay that off, every single one of us would owe more than $60,000. That includes our children.
On top of that add an economy so artificially inflated it's in danger of collapsing under its own weight, record-setting volatility in overseas markets, a growing number of terrorist threats, and perhaps the biggest menace of all, China trying to take our spot as the world's leading currency.
This all adds up to a situation far worse than 2000 & 2008 combined. The retirement accounts of regular working class Americans like you and me are in serious trouble. Millions of Americans lost more than 50% of their retirement account almost overnight in 2008. How much did you lose?
If you're concerned, and you're not the type to sit around and wait for something to happen, there is something you can do. |
