Reset RetirementAuthor: The New School ReLab
Tired of the same, old retirement advice that's difficult to follow and makes you feel worse about your own saving? So are we. Instead, The New Schools Retirement Equity Lab (ReLab) hears from real people about what it's like to save for retirement in a system that only works for the privileged few. Host Teresa Ghilarducci, a labor economist and professor, talks to people of all ages - millennials, mid-career professionals, and near and longtime retirees. We learn how everyday life events can derail even the best laid plans, how people cope, and how we can create a system that works everyone.

#105 - Where Do We Go from Here?
Episode 5
Monday, 19 August, 2019
Over the last four episodes, we’ve explored how individuals fare in today’s retirement system. In the final episode of our first season, we ask: where do we go from here? We speak with baby boomer and literature professor Ira and millennial and PhD student Owen to explore how both younger and older generations are affected by our retirement system. Next, we hear from our expert round table, including host Teresa Ghilarducci and guests Beth Finkel, the state director of AARP New York, and New School economist Tony Webb, for a discussion of the future of retirement policy. From age discrimination to a lack of retirement plan coverage, Teresa, Beth, and Tony talk about the policies we need to make a better system for everyone a reality. Finally, we highlight research showing millennials are ready to take action and a group working to inject retirement security into the 2020 presidential campaign.
