Well, well, well.  I'm sorry to hear you all complaining about sorry
retirement programs.  The obvious solution is to apply for an archaeology
position in Alabama State Government, and enjoy a very good retirement
program. We may not do many things well here, but our retirement fund is
rock solid.  (and you snow birds won't have to even move south upon
retirement!) <grin>.  And you can legitimately sit on your columned porch
and sip mint juleps knowing that your future is secure!
