Description

Longer Retirements, Rising Prices: A Financial Challenge - As Americans enjoy longer lives, they face a new hurdle: extended retirements coinciding with inflation. With average retirement accounts at around $500,000 and life expectancy at 77.5 years, many may struggle to make ends meet.

Experts now recommend a purpose-oriented portfolio strategy, dividing assets into categories like distribution, flexibility, healthcare, and legacy to ensure a more sustainable financial future.
