Experts Advise Planning Retirement Savings to Last Until Age 90 or Beyond
Retirement planning often underestimates how long savings need to last, especially if individuals live beyond average life expectancy. Experts suggest planning for longevity up to age 90 or beyond, rather than relying on average lifespan figures. This approach accounts for inflation, rising healthcare costs, and sequence-of-returns risk, which can significantly impact retirement funds. Preparing for a longer retirement horizon helps ensure financial security despite uncertainties in lifespan and expenses.
