Retirement once promised a period of peace and enjoyment after a lifetime of hard work. But in today’s world, that vision is becoming increasingly blurred. With the pension age gradually rising and life expectancy plateauing, or even declining for some groups, many are asking an uncomfortable question: Will I even live long enough to retire, let alone enjoy it?
