The new CalSavers retirement plan came up during several of my recent conversations. What is this plan? I decided to head to the state capital in Sacramento for a sit down with California State Treasurer John Chiang to discuss the state of retirement savings in the United States and how California has chosen to address the issue. It’s an enlightening discussion and the statistics he cited really caught me off guard. So many Americans, not saving! More than I thought. How will the plan work? I also sat down with Executive Director Katie Selenski to share some of the details. Tomorrow, a quick stop in San Francisco and then off to Philadelphia.
