Abstract: The article discusses the contrarian view of investing for retirement. In light of financial services that help people plan retirement and offer advice about necessary levels of savings, many financial experts say that the estimates about retirement savings are far higher than needed. The financial companies have an interest in having savings accounts as high as possible, that is how they generate their income - from fees.
