It allows the latter to use retiree’s money for their own profits, while retirees usually end with much less or luckily the same amount they invested initially. After more than 10 years my retirement investments with four different companies have not increased the initial principals. Usually they drop significantly down when market is facing trouble or insignificantly increase in a bull market. All of my accounts are with big and reputable investment companies. Besides most of my friends have similar problems. Those plans are obviously are not made on behalf of the retirees since usually the investment companies are not responsible for ups and downs, but get their management fees from those investments no matter what. People have to avoid such investments since they usually loose their money instead of gaining security for retirement. Don’t believe either investment companies or government that so actively pushing them. All retirement plans are big spams organized by the government on behalf investing companies.

As always, I think it’s important to specify that I am talking about a retirement portfolio here. I’m personally a believer in a fairly conservative retirement account for all investors. Then, when I have enough saved up during a year, I can start funding a more aggressive and speculative portfolio with active or passive investing. All the long & short picks described on IntelligentSpeculator would obviously be done in the speculative portfolio.  I wrote a more detailed post about this here.

I started off with 0 buckets and it's slowly growing. I don't think I'd ever have that many more though but hopefully the buckets will become bigger:) @Catarina - Do you think that you save less because of that? I guess we are all different but if you do not save as much, then maybe a change would be a good thing. @TFB - Exactly - You never actually see your income increase, but the buckets fill up a whole lot quicker:) @Panda Mike – It comes with time.
