Gary North

The pressure of the recession is leading Americans to borrow from their 401(k) retirement accounts. Look at the chart:

These are Americans with high incomes. Most people do not have 401(k) plans.

If people with money are hard-pressed to get by without increased debt, think of the average Joe.

These people refuse to reduce their spending to match their reduced income. They are stealing from themselves.

This is a warning signal. Don't ignore it. Sit down with an on-line retirement calculator today and run the numbers. How are you doing? Use this one:
