Be the helper: Building for the 99 percent.

Healthcare costs in the U.S. are skyrocketing. According to a recent study, 66.5 percent of all bankruptcies were tied to medical issues — either because of high costs for care or time out of work. Nearly 4 in 10 Americans lack enough money to cover a $400 emergency expense, let alone thousands of dollars of unexpected medical bills. It is no wonder that the majority of Americans are behind on saving for retirement and we are hearing more stories of people that need others to crowdfund their retirement. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Neeraj Mathur, Founder and CEO of Savings Oak, on retirement readiness and his personal mission to innovate for the 99 percent, so that they too can have a chance to invest and secure their future.  Hosted on Acast.
