About This Course

America is suffering a Retirement Crisis. Most of our 78 million baby boomers have not saved enough to last the rest of their lives. 55 million baby boomers have saved less than $300,000.

Many will have to rely on Social Security and Medicaid to sustain themselves. You’ve heard these dire predictions before. In this video we put some numbers to the dilemma.

What is the emerging shortfall? How will baby boomers live in retirement? How will America help them live?

The keys to a happy retirement are health, wealth and purpose. This video shows how health and purpose can compensate for a lack of wealth, and that the wealthy have their challenges too.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
