``But, as I found when investigating the retirement planning and mutual funds industries in The Retirement Gamble, which airs tonight on FRONTLINE, those advertisements are imploring us to start saving for one simple reason. Retirement is big business -- and very profitable. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the more we save into the industry's financial products, the more money they make in fees and commissions trading our hard-earned cash. And as long as they don't run away with our money or invest it in a Ponzi scheme, they have little in the way of accountability to us when something goes wrong. And even then it can be hard to fight back.''
