The truth is our young people are facing a retirement crisis. Corporate pensions (i.e., defined benefit pension plans) are all but extinct at this point and government pensions (i.e., Social Security & Medicare) are set to bankrupt in the near future.  Even if measures are taken to save Social Security and Medicare, these programs will not pay the same benefits as what current retirees receive and the amount that current retirees receive is not even enough to meet the average retiree's needs.  The reality is, if our young people do not begin saving at an early age, retirement will become merely a fairy tale.  They will not be able to count on anyone to help them - not corporations, not the government.  Young people must be taught the importance of saving at an early age and they need to be supported in their efforts to begin preparing for their future.  Project Roth is here to do just that!  Project Roth aims to make a positive impact on as many kids as possible, educating, inspiring and actually creating opportunities that will allow kids to begin saving in their Roth IRAs.  The path to financial freedom begins with Project Roth!
