Retirement sure isn’t what it used to be. People are living longer, which means many people who retire in their sixties are looking at a potential need for 30 years of income in retirement. Oh, and health care costs continue to soar and show no signs of stopping as the Baby Boomers age.
Retirees are also facing a changing investment formula.

At the same time, unprecedented volatility in the stock market makes it risky to rely on growth stocks to increase the value of their portfolio.
