Index funds are favored because they are described as diversified, passive, and historically competitive with many active planners. The article distinguishes stocks as higher-volatility and higher-growth while bonds are slower-growing and more stable. Retirement is framed as preparation for at least 20 years without employment income. Retirement saving is presented as urgent because many Americans have little or no retirement savings. The article discusses 401(k) plans, Roth IRAs, index funds, and business-owner retirement options as possible investment vehicles.
