Retirement gurus from The Online 401(k) thought it was time to convey the pending retirement crisis to Americans in a different way than most financial planners a film. The documentary, called Broken Eggs, premieres Wednesday in San Francisco and EBA got a first look at the project thats been nearly two years in the making.
It follows four storylines, a millennial, a Gen Xer, a Gen X couple and a boomer couple from across the U.S., as the people share their financial histories and uncertain retirement realities with viewers. The movie also visits with economists, retirement experts and even has a surprise appearance from former vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) to chronicle the history of social security, pensions, 401(k)s and how dire a situation the younger generations face when it comes to total reliance on personal savings for retirement.
