Seasoned retirement and financial strategist Mark Kinney discusses the importance of importance of planning past your expected lifespan to insure that you are adequately prepared for retirement.

Lee, Massachusetts—April 25, 2016—Founding partner of Toole, Kinney & Company, Inc., Mark Kinney, CFP®, posted a new blog entry entitled, “The Greatest Risk to Your Retirement Might Not Be a Financial One…” In the post, he encourages retirees, and those planning for retirement, to recalibrate their retirement plans to account for longer life expectancies, on average.

Kinney writes, “In your retirement planning, longevity risk is an unknown factor. My experience has shown the only way to prepare for an unknown is to do just that… prepare. That being said, the only way to truly prepare adequately for your retirement is to establish an income that you cannot out live. Doing so will insure that you’re not only ready for whatever life has in store for you, but that your income will be as well…regardless of your eventual lifespan.”
