Longevity Trap: The Successful Pre-Retiree's Playbook for Beating Inflation, Making Your Money Last,

For the accomplished adult who did everything right,
the longest chapter of your life may be the one you forgot to plan for.

You planned for a twenty-year retirement. You are going to live thirty-five.

If you are healthy, accomplished, and well cared for, the same traits that built your wealth are quietly buying you a decade of life you never planned for. A longer life does not just add good years at the end. It hands every financial risk you face more time to work against you.

In The Longevity Trap, veteran wealth manager and tax strategist George McReynolds, CFP(R), names the five dangers that make a long retirement different from an average one: the Silent Thief of inflation, the Ambush of sequence-of-returns risk, the Long Storm of long-term care, the Long Fuse of the tax bomb ticking inside your retirement accounts, and the one who is left, the surviving spouse almost every retirement plan quietly forgets to fund.

Then he builds the solution: a three-bucket income architecture that turns a frightening pile of savings into a structured income stream designed to last as long as you do.

But this book does not stop at the money. Because a well-funded long life raises a better question than whether the money will last. It raises the question of what the years are actually for. The Longevity Trap answers both.

What you will find inside:

• Why your retirement is likely ten to fifteen years longer than your current plan assumes
• How to beat inflation, sequence risk, taxes, and long-term care costs in one coordinated strategy
• The three-bucket income machine that turns savings into a structured income stream for life
• Why the surviving spouse is the most overlooked person in retirement planning, and how to change that
• The Extra Decade Daydream exercise that helped the author rebuild his life from nothing and move into his dream home thirty years later
• How to trade the fear of running out for the freedom to give and live with warm hands

With a Foreword by Erin Botsford, Barron's Top 100 Financial Advisor and author of The Big Retirement Risk: Running Out of Money Before You Run Out of Time.

"George stands out as one of the best. He is the rare advisor who understands that the money is only half the job. This book earns the term playbook."
