Article about "The longevity advisor" (in regards to retirement)

Post by OzSport »

This is an interesting article in that it addresses the length of retirement and that a good number of retirees aren't prepared for how long it actually can be! This article is more so about the financial side of retirement, but does talk about the importance of having personal objectives and a vision for retirement.

This paragraph kind of sums up the theme of the article:

“I don’t think advisors are prepared at this point to be able to help [clients] anticipate just how long that is,” says Coughlin, who is also behavioural sciences fellow of the Gerontological Society of America and a fellow of Switzerland’s World Demographics & Ageing Forum. Through his research, he has found that retirees often say the same thing about life after work: “I had no idea how long it was going to be.”
