Quote of the Day
"I think the most important thing we can do is help people who don’t have a good retirement savings plan at work. The only way most people successfully save is through payroll deductions. That’s because the money gets taken out before you have a chance to spend it, and then it gets hidden over there in some account that’s labeled retirement."
(Richard Thaler)
