Life for Sale: You Can Buy a Great Old Age

The good news is that you’re going to live longer, the bad news that you can’t afford it. Many of us discount the length of our lives and ignore the growing mega trend of longevity.

We are in danger of wasting, and even fearing the remarkable decades ahead. Nearly ten thousand of us a day will reach age 65. Currently, the fastest growing demographic in our country are those over the age of eighty-five. They are slated to reach age 100 in droves. But the image of advanced age has not changed from one of dismal dependency to the fresh life affirming time it can really be. Often the difference between a dependent and vital life is money– how much, how secure and how spent.  

Everyone wants to have a comfortable retirement, but nobody wants to plan for it. Unfortunately you can’t have one without the other.
