The promise of spring
Investor sentiment, like the seasons, can turn sharply. For those of us living in the southern states the arrival of spring weather has been a welcome circuit breaker after what seems to have been a long, chilly, wet winter.
How to stretch your retirement savings to a very old age
Anyone trying to save enough to finance a satisfactory standard of living in retirement would not ignore the possibility of living beyond his or her life expectancy.
It is challenging for most of us to save enough to provide for an adequate standard of living in retirement – if we live within our life expectancy. And it is even more challenging to save enough to allow for the distinct possibility that we may live beyond our life expectancy.
