Title: Are There Enough Workers in America to Replace those Retiring?
Topic: Retirement

Discussed by Phil Kerpen
with American Commitment (AmericanCommitment.org)

Over the next two years, more than 8 million Americans will turn 65. While not every person retires at the age of 65, are there enough unemployed workers to fill those jobs, as well as new jobs?

Phil Kerpen is the President of American Commitment and a principal leader for Unleash Prosperity, whose mission is to identify policies best suited to unleashing prosperity and to educate policy makers on the best practices to achieve equitable prosperity. You can learn more about Unleash Prosperity here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

How can America survive if there are fewer and fewer people working? Phil Kerpen discusses how the government gathers information about the unemployment numbers and how those numbers are flawed and often skewed.

Does America need more jobs and more workers? Phil addresses the massive fraud by those on disability and those in the country illegally.

Are we now entering the “Golden Age” for America? Phil is hopeful that President Trump will be able to turn things around quickly.

Title: The Dash is What Matters
Topic: Retirement

Discussed by Joel Malick
with The Afterwork (www.theafterwork.net/)

Part 1 of 2

Some have their life’s verse engraved on their tombstone. But in reality, it’s what’s in the dash that really matters. Is it too late to fill in the dash?

Joel Malick is the co-author of a new book, along with Alex Lippert. Joel is a partner with Steadfast Wealth Co. in Colorado Springs, CO. He says: “It’s just not dollars and cents that will make you happy during your retirement years.”

To order your copy of “Afterwork: An Honest Discussion about the Retirement Lie” by Joel Malick and Alex Lippert, click here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

If retirement is the zenith, the climax to life, why is the divorce rate of those 50 and above skyrocketing? Is the divorce rate for those over 60 even higher? Joel’s response is a quote from Henry Ford: “If I asked the people what they wanted they would have said a faster horse.”

What does “retirement” mean? Does it actually have a negative connotation?

Once we reach the retirement stage of life, are people too often lost and bored, spending too much time looking at a screen? Joel points out that Christians are not exempt from retirement. While we are told not to worry about the future, we are told to prepare.

Can retirement be fun? Absolutely!
