Bittersweet
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines bittersweet as something that is pleasant alloyed with pain. This could also be associated with retirement. The sweet part is that people are living longer thanks to innovations in healthcare. The bitter reality is that when people live longer they risk outliving their assets. Longevity risk is the possibility of outliving one's retirement savings. While longevity is generally a good thing, the risks associated with it are becoming a major concern for individuals entering retirement. Luckily, longevity risk can be managed through proper planning and products. To plan properly, consider when you would like to retire, the number of years you anticipate in retirement, and your desired income level. Read the attached PDF document to learn more.
