A bipartisan bill introduced in Congress aims to close the gap in retirement savings for rural and low-income workers.

Roughly 69 million workers, 55.5% of the U.S. workforce, lacked access to employer-provided retirement plans.

Financial advisors say 401(k)s are powerful tools for retirement planning, but access to such accounts is disproportionately limited in rural areas.

Annuities and whole life insurance policies can also be useful retirement savings vehicles for clients who lack access to employer-provided accounts, but their use cases are not as broadly applicable as simple investment accounts like an IRA, advisors say. " 401k plans are just one of many ways to save and invest for retirement," said Nancy Listiawan , founder of Vera Wealth in Pasadena , California . "What matters most isn't the specific investment vehicle, but rather your consistent saving habits and discipline over time.".
