In recorded history, of all humans who have lived past the age of 65, two-thirds are alive today. Centenarians presently number 75,000 — this group will grow to 3 million in the next 20 years. The phenomenon of longevity has created a new field in financial planning — longevity planning. (In academia, it is referred to as financial gerentology, and courses on the topic are given high priority at prestigious business schools such as Wharton.) But longevity planning is not just about retiring or aging — it begins with the first dollar you make. And while each phase of life brings different financial planning issues, for adults born between 1946 and 1964 are finding themselves in a complicated situation, entangled in a uniquely intergenerational family mix.
