Living to Age 110 – Would you run out of Money?

In a recent news article, a Texas grandmother named Elizabeth Francis reached the incredible age of 110 years old!

She credits her faith in God for her long and healthy life.  You can read the full article right here.

What if you or your spouse lived to be 110?

Let’s assume you receive Social Security for some basic needs.  But that you have to supplement your Social Security with additional income in order to make ends meet in retirement.

We have selected a range of “additional” funds you would need annually.

We have then assumed a 2.5% inflation rate.

We also assume you need this extra money starting at age 65 until age 110.

The table below shows the TOTAL of all those additional funds you would need to meet the inflated annual income goal that you might need.
