Hi, everyone.

Welcome back to another episode of Ready for Retirement.

I'm your host, James Cannell.

One of the biggest challenges that people, when they retire, face, is am I going to outlive my money?

I think it's probably concern number

one that most people have. Now, combine that with a potential age gap between spouses, and there's a

double concern here, or there's a multifaceted concern of how do we make sure that we don't outlive our money

for the both of us, but especially for the surviving spouse.

So what happens if the both of us spend all of our money on travel or things that we want

to do or just basic living, what happens to the surviving spouse if there's a significant

age gap or if one spouse just predeceases the other? So that's going to be the topic of today's

episode of how do we invest for

longevity, but in the light of a one spouse potentially pre-deceasing the other by some number

of years. Now this question was, or it's coming from a listener question, and I'm going to call

the listener Sarah. And Sarah writes and then she says this. She says, hello, I've been listening to your

podcast for months now and have to say they're the best thing for someone like me to start

understanding this crazy financial world. Thanks, Sarah. I'm a professional in a non-financial

field and my husband is a CPA. After listening, I'm able to have better conversations with him

and look at what he is saying without utter confusion.
