Advances in medicine and healthy living mean that more and more people will live to be 100. But just because their bodies can last doesn’t mean their bank accounts will keep up. Retirement, and especially a long retirement, takes careful planning and sophisticated financial literacy. It’s impossible to know what the future economic world will look like, but accounting for the unexpected and finding good guidance is essential.

Penny Pennington is the managing partner of Edward Jones and Rob Falzon is the vice chair of Prudential. Barron’s economic reporter Megan Leonhardt moderates the conversation.
