Ann Combs Quotations

Our view is the plans should be fully funded and that means 100 percent funded.

I think it has left people worried. For many years, people didn't appreciate the positive aspects of defined benefit plans. Now that they might lose them, people are concerned.

We want to remove barriers for people to save for retirement, and automatic enrollment really addresses one of the problems that people face: They may be overwhelmed with the responsibility of saving for retirement.

Americans are living longer, healthier lives and will need more income to see them through their retirement. Making the right choices is critical to living a lifestyle of financial independence, and this booklet will help individuals realistically plan for their financial future.
