This page gathers articles, events, and resources to help you think more clearly about the financial and personal realities of longer lives. They are provided for general awareness and educational purposes only.
A NOTE TO READERS
No single field owns the problem of a longer life. Demography can tell us how populations change; finance can model uncertain consumption; medicine and gerontology can examine function and health; family research can show how obligations are shared; psychology can explain why good plans are not always followed.
This guide is selective. It includes works that changed the conversation, works that make difficult ideas accessible, and reports that provide a reliable picture of present conditions. Inclusion does not imply agreement with every conclusion.
Longevity Strategies offers educational seminars, webinars, and community presentations on retirement income, tax-aware planning, care planning, family decision-making, legacy, and long-life readiness.
Receive periodic insights on longevity planning, retirement income, care, family preparedness, and legacy.
