NEW Podcast Episode: A Deep Dive into Retirement Savings in Georgia
ATLANTA, Georgia -- In the latest installment of 'Nothing But a Number,' we embark on a journey through the intricate landscape of retirement savings legislation in Georgia. Hosted by Alice Bennett, the Associate State Director for Advocacy at AARP Georgia, this episode serves as a beacon of hope for those navigating the maze of financial planning.
Joined by financial expert Lee Baker from Apex Financials, Bennett delves into the pressing need for Work and Save legislation within the state. Despite Georgia's reputation as a business-friendly environment, a significant portion of small business employees lack access to adequate retirement savings options.

Lee underscores the crucial role of businesses in facilitating retirement savings for their employees, especially in the absence of traditional pension plans.
