It's hard to believe that May is finally here.

In America, we're living through a period of unprecedented economic growth and prosperity. We're all having such a good time, we don't really want to take a close look at the bank and credit card statements. We may, on rare occasions, tell you what we paid for our cars or homes, but we'll never divulge our annual incomes. And on top of everything else, the recent stock market volatility makes us even more skittish about the subject of investing for our old age. We may remember stories from our parents or grandparents about the Market Crash of '29 and the resulting Great Depression.
