She discusses what an annuity is, how to find peace of mind around your finances, how to not outlive your money, and more. “Think of those folks who are approaching retirement and they’ve got that family history of longevity, they’re in excellent health, they’re likely to experience that above average longevity or life expectancy. If they haven’t saved enough to achieve their retirement spending goal but they’re looking to maximize their income, however long that may be, those are excellent candidates for an annuity.” “The connection between peace of mind and secure income or that protected lifetime income was so strong across all investors.” “Our dreams of retiring at 65 might now be 80, in order to make your funds last until 120.” “Write down a list of everybody that you talk to on a weekly basis, now go through and cross out every one of those that are people you work with. Our list gets really small. What is our purpose in that next phase?” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Kate:LinkedInDisclaimer:  The views depicted in this material are for information purposes only and are not necessarily those of Capital Group/American Funds.
