    Prospective retirees hoping to cash in their Social Security after 2033 may be in for a rude awakening.

On this episode of Decoding Retirement, host Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with certified retirement management advisor Marcia Mantell about these findings and more, delving into the serious implications for your retirement. Marcia discusses what you can do to make up for the shortfall, how US birth rates may be affecting financial projections, and the potential effects of up to 8 million people losing their healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act.
