I'm certain that I'm not alone. I have no retirement plan. There is no windfall waiting for me. No inheritance or IRA sits patiently waiting for my time of need. I have enough debt to keep me awake at night from time to time. No social safety net protects me or my family from a very hard fall - a fall that could be triggered by an accident, an extreme weather event, or sudden political chaos - all of which could be imminent. I am sure that I'm not alone in my social insecurity and the dark pit of hopelessness that looms around each and every corner. This is the unpleasant American Dream realized - constant dread of financial disaster which is coming whether I like it or not.
