Al Gordon explores one of life’s great mysteries—how long you will live—and why it matters for retirement planning. No one knows their exact lifespan, yet traditional retirement strategies are built around the idea of saving a lump sum and slowly depleting it. He points out that most people have spent their lives trading time for money, setting aside funds in accounts they’ve been told not to touch. The only new money entering these accounts comes from investment gains, but once retirement begins, people start drawing down their savings each month to cover expenses. Al challenges this approach, emphasizing the importance of building passive income streams that provide financial security regardless of how long one lives.
