Today is the sequel: what happens when the plan's end date is wrong." Ask the advisors: What age do most plans they see actually run to? 85? 90? 95? • • The punchline: a portfolio can recover from a bear market. A plan built for 90 can break if someone lives to 105–110. That's the new headline risk.  If you found value in this podcast, consider supporting us at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/banyanmedia   WATCH & SUBSCRIBE to us on YouTube @throughthepines LIKE our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pinespodcast Follow our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pines_podcast/   Through the Pines  -  Reminding you to use Yesterday's Dollars to Finance Tomorrow's Dreams.   ****   This episode includes financial advice from professionals.
