I can still hear my late grandfather’s voice in my head…

“Matthew…” he’d say with a twang and a sigh, “… it sucks getting old. BUT! It beats the hell out of the alternative.”

Grandpa Ed’s voice gets louder each trip I take around the sun. It inspires me to do what I can to make sure getting old is a blessing and not a curse.

What’s interesting, though, is the vast majority of retirees disagree with ol’ Ed Gozdecki. Did you know that 64% of baby boomers are more afraid of going broke in retirement than of meeting the Grim Reaper himself?

That tells me there’s a lot of folks who need help better understanding longevity risk and how to plan for it. All of us at BackNine believe a long retirement should be a reward, not a risk - watch this video to learn a little more about longevity and to see why we’re your best partner for retirement income planning.
