How to retire without running out of money
Blueprint’s larger goal is to get into 401(k) plans and have employers make some, or all, of their matching contributions into annuities, just as Blueprint does. That would create a product similar to a defined benefit plan, lessening the dilemma of how to invest a lump sum from a 401(k). For now, Carey has no illusions about the challenge Americans face in deciding how to invest their savings so they won’t die poor. “In a world where employer pensions don’t exist, you need something that does the same thing,” Carey said. Otherwise, “retirement is going to become a luxury good.”
