"Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently." - Henry Ford
These are tough times. The Stock Market has imploded. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and AIG have all become part of the government. Firms like the Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch & Bear Stearns have gone under. Unemployment has skyrocketed. And all the while we continue to play the lottery and trust social security. Let's face it, we were not designed to deal with risk and uncertainty. It scares the you know what out of us. What are we doing wrong? What can we do better?
No one asked Michael Covel to make this film, but he was concerned this story would not get told in the most hopeful way, so he is telling it. Covel traveled 75,000 miles over the course of 2007 and 2008 to visit with hundreds of people from America and Europe to Asia to answer the question: How did we dig such a big hole when it comes to our retirement, money and investments? More importantly, how can we all learn to think the right way about our money?" (85 minutes, 2009)
