They told us if we worked hard, saved diligently, and played by the rules, we could retire in comfort. But what if that promise was never real? In this video, I uncover the 2,000-year history of retirement — from Roman military pensions to Germany’s first old-age system, to America’s Golden Age of retirement, and how it all unraveled into today’s broken, do-it-yourself system.
