RE: Longevity Escape Velocity By 2036?

If you live to 120 - then you will can work till you are 80! I do understand your point - the equation changes when you are looking at a much longer drawn down period. Unless you are willing to live off earnings only, and not draw down your principal then there will be significant risk to outliving your resources.

If live expectancy continues to grow, there will have to be massive changes to SS and Medicare if you are in the US - there is no way to fund those expenses as the years push out.

Yea it is going to be tough for anyone in the workforce since they don't know how much is enough in the future. If life expectancy keeps increasing, you have to save even more to make up for it.
