Longevity

Good article on longevity.  This is something we all probably do not spend enough time contemplating.  With today's advances in medicine, many of us will live longer then ever.  It's daunting to consider the possibility of funding a retirement of 30+ years.  Many folks are considering work beyond their 60s and 70s just to ensure their retirement dollars last longer.

Since we're on the topic of Vanguard ( i.e. the author of the article I just mentioned ), I highly recommend John Bogle's book The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism.  Many of you know that I rarely am comfortable with recommending any book.  There are so few good ones out there that I'm almost always disappointed when reading a new book.  However, in this case, I'm very comfortable with recommending anything written by John Bogle.  John Bogle is a hero of mine and I think you will find his integrity unmatched in the investment community.
