What Does Increasing Life Expectancy Mean To My Retirement Plans? 
That is an excellent question ! And one that a whole bunch of people are asking . Unfortunately for many people it means that their retirement plans may not fund the retirement they 'd envisioned . For some it means they will need to scale back expenditures more than they 'd hoped . For others still it is a very scary thought , as medical expenses continue to rise , and benefits continue to be cut . For those still able to react to the situation , it means increasing the amount set aside for retirement , and investing in vehicles that can continue to pay out regardless of how long the retiree lives . It means looking more closely at what retirement looks like to you , cutting expenses , and maximizing income.It means a close eye on returns , and better planning . If you have concerns over your retirement plans , please consult with a trusted adviser , and look at where you currently stand , and what options are available to you . Thanks for asking !
