"The Retirement Deception"
Exposing the truth about retirement success
Co-Produced by Gary Goldberg
In The Retirement Deception, Brett Kitchen and Ethan Kap traveled the country to expose the truth about what a successful retirement really is.
They traveled over 18.000 miles and interviewed dozens of real retirees and financial experts about the myths and misconceptions Wall Street has perpetrated on the public about how to retire happily. What they discovered is surprising, although not shocking, if you understand Wall Street's motivation. A successful retirement is not about a big nest egg, a high rate of return, or hoping that the market goes up. Watch this film to see actual real-world Americans who have retired successfully and see how they did it.
