“Most people plan for retirement, but few plan for aging well.”

Longevity is one of the most underplanned risks in financial planning. Most retirement plans miss a critical piece: whether you’re positioned to enjoy the years you’re planning for.

At this year’s Investor Symposium, gerontologist and Joyspan author Dr. Kerry Burnight shares a research-backed look at what living longer really means, physically, financially, and emotionally.

You’ll walk away understanding:

• The realistic longevity scenarios that should shape your planning today
• The science of joy and the daily practices that add both years and meaning
• Why purpose is one of the most underrated health metrics and how it should reshape retirement planning

Having a dear friend for lunch was a great joy this week: the grocery shopping, table setting, flower arranging, and most of all the talking and laughing. All the elements of joyspan wrapped in a lunch: growing, adapting, connecting, and giving. #joyspan by @the_gerontologist
