A good documentary about financial preparation for retirement

I just watched this film, from an article in Yahoo Finance.  Very good film, if depressing.  It describes how we should all be saving more for retirement, and how even the best-laid plans and financial prudence can be derailed by things like unemployment, divorce, the stock market/economy downturns and medical expenses.  

PS: Apparently everyone and their brother is now watching it, and the servers are struggling to keep up.  I had to reload the page several times after it froze.

Yeah, the more we save, the more that the .gov can confiscate  =(

I'm downloading it with a flash and video downloader add on. That way server issues won't affect me.

 Or destroy through inflation.  Same thing actually. Just a hidden tax.
