What If It's Not Enough?: The Honest Guide for People Who Fear They Haven't Saved Enough Retirement and Need a Real Plan — Platitudes

You've done the math. And you don't like what you found.Maybe you're 55, with a retirement account that isn't where it needs to be. Maybe you're 62 and the Social Security math isn't adding up. Maybe a divorce, a layoff, or a decade of caregiving meant savings went on hold while life kept moving - and now you're staring at a gap you don't know how to close.You're not alone. A 2026 survey found that 67 percent of Americans fear running out of money in retirement more than they fear death. Two-thirds of workers over 50 feel "behind." The median retirement account balance for Americans aged 55-64 is far lower than planning guidelines recommend. This isn't a story about a few people who made bad choices. This is a story about an entire generation doing the best they could in a system that was harder than anyone advertised.This book will not tell you everything will be fine if you just follow five simple steps.
