Living Longer, Spending Smarter: Longevity, Wellness, and the New Retirement Reality

This episode explores how rising life expectancy is forcing a rethink of money, health and everyday services. From UK life-table projections that make 100 a realistic outcome for many born in 2049, to touring artists managing post-show crashes, to hotels and clinics redesigning menus and services for recovery and longevity, the show connects big-picture policy challenges with practical, human strategies. It examines retirement planning, housing wealth, wellness businesses, and the growing market for longevity interventions—arguing that longer lives require deeper planning and new systems to support them.
