Rising Life Expectancy Reshapes Retirement Planning
Original: How Increased Life Expectancy Impacts Retirement Planning and Longevity Risk
Investopedia explains that as people live longer, retirees face greater longevity risk — the chance of outliving their savings. Longer lifespans mean retirement funds must stretch further, prompting calls for later retirement ages, higher savings rates, annuities and other guaranteed income strategies. Financial planners are urging households to revisit assumptions about how long their money needs to last.
Why now: Growing awareness that longer lifespans are forcing people to rethink retirement savings strategies.
