When I looked at various top ten lists of what people fear the most, public speaking was invariably number one. Also making the top ten list was a fear of heights, flying, snakes, spiders, zombies and clowns. But I noticed that a new fear had emerged. And as baby boomers age out of the work force, it seemed to be moving up the list rather rapidly (although I doubt that it will ever replace the fear of public speaking as number one). That fear is the very real concern about running out of money in retirement.
