West Point graduate, veteran, and former "financial advisor" Scott R. Tucker pulls back the curtain on military/veteran financial planning to reveal the true risks confronting retired military when they do "all the rights things," like getting a job post-military and investing in a traditional retirement vehicle like a 401(K) or TSP. He brings to the forefront of his discussion what the military and most veteran financial advisors usually gloss over as they focus on military retirement plans: the moment that you leave the military is the biggest opportunity of your lifetime, and you're going to need money for it.In Veteran Wealth Secrets, Tucker teaches:? To change the way that you think about the value of your military service, the advantages you have as a member of the retired military community, and investing while you are still in the military;? How to understand what is going on in our country socially and politically and what it could mean for your future;? Why you must overcome challenges like limiting beliefs;? How to create a personal brand for your veteran small business and how to leverage that brand using the tools of the modern economy;? How to develop a modern skillset that you can use to find the job of your dreams or create a business that will take you from military to millionaire;? How to understand compound interest, assets, and what the real risks are when it comes to traditional financial vehicles; and? How you can use a secret veteran financial weapon to sock money away where it can grow without risk and be there for you when you need it.This book is NOT about money, and neither is military financial planning. Rather, both are about identity and transformation. They are about getting to a clear-eyed understanding of who you have been, what you want, and who you want to become.

Chile’s pension system came under close scrutiny in recent years. This paper takes stock of the adequacy of the system and highlights its challenges. Chile’s defined contribution system was quite influential when introduced, and was taken as an example by other countries. However, it is now delivering low replacement rates relative to OECD peers, as its parameters did not adapt over time to changing demographics and global returns, while informality persists in the labor market. In the absence of reforms, the system’s inability to deliver adequate outcomes for a large share of participants will continue to magnify, as demographic trends and low global interest rates will continue to reduce replacement rates. In addition, recent legislation allowing for pension savings withdrawals to counter the effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, is projected to further reduce replacement rates and increase fiscal costs. A substantial improvement in replacement rates is feasible, via a reform that raises contribution rates and the retirement age, coupled with policies that increases workers’ contribution density.
