The Right Way to Look at Longevity
It seems that if one runs a retirement projection based upon a long life (say the mid 90's), one is probably OK. But, those who have assumed they may not live much past 75 may be in for a rude awakening when they run out of money 10-15 years before "the end".
If I can find the link, I will post it. But, it may be behind a paywall.
