Big Picture Retirement

In this episode, we talk about an important part of retirement planning that many people overlook—figuring out how long you might live. We explain why using average life expectancy or guessing based on family history can be risky, and why it’s important to plan for a longer life. We also share tools that can help you estimate how long your savings need to last, whether you’re planning on your own or with a partner. Making a solid plan for how long you’ll need your money is key to a secure retirement.
