Reducing Retirement Inequality : Building Wealth and Old-Age Resilience
Many older Americans today are poorly prepared to finance their retirement years, and such under-preparedness is especially acute for members of disadvantaged racial and ethnic minority groups.Black and Hispanic families, for example, have only a quarter of the amount of net private wealth (assets minus liabilities) compared to White families.Moreover, racial wealth gaps have not diminished much in the past four decades, in part because Whites tend to save more in and withdraw less from employer-sponsored retirement plans than do their Black and Hispanic counterparts.The studies herein provide a range of perspectives on the causes and consequences of retirement wealth inequality, along with suggested opportunities to close the gaps.The contributors explore new datasets, analyze historical trends in income and wealth disparities, and evaluate alternative wealth and inequality measures.They also evaluate the roles of differential access to financial, housing, and human capital, and the role of the social security program.While the latter is a great equalizer, narrowing racial gaps considerably, the program faces insolvency and, without reform, it will be unable to pay full scheduled benefits within a decade.

Wealth or not?
Wealth is often defined as having an abundance of valuable possessions or money. However, true wealth can also be found in non-material aspects of life such as good health, strong relationships, and a sense of fulfillment. Ultimately, whether someone is wealthy or not depends on their individual values and priorities. Some may prioritize financial wealth, while others may find wealth in other areas of their life.

Is wealth boring?
Wealth itself is not inherently boring, but the pursuit of wealth can become monotonous or unfulfilling if it is the sole focus of one's life. While having financial security and resources can provide opportunities for enjoyment and fulfillment, it is important to also seek meaning and purpose in other aspects of life. Ultimately, the value of wealth is determined by how it is used and the experiences and contributions it enables.
-
Wealth or fame?
It ultimately depends on individual preferences and values. Some people may prioritize wealth because it provides financial security and the ability to live comfortably. Others may prioritize fame because it offers recognition, influence, and the opportunity to make a difference in the world. Both wealth and fame have their own advantages and drawbacks, so the choice between the two is subjective and personal.

Is wealth just luck?
Wealth is not solely based on luck. While luck can play a role in some individuals' financial success, wealth is often the result of a combination of factors such as hard work, determination, education, skills, and opportunities. People who are able to make wise decisions, take calculated risks, and manage their finances effectively are more likely to accumulate wealth. Additionally, factors such as access to resources, social networks, and economic conditions can also influence an individual's financial status.
