Preparing for 100-Year Lives

Longevity literacy is an understanding of how long people tend to live in retirement. It is key to retirement preparedness. If we don't have a realistic understanding of our life expectancy, we are missing a foundational component in our planning: a time horizon. In this session, you'll learn how to think about this theme holistically across financial, physical, mental and social dimensions and through a gender and broader DEI lens.
