Financial literacy  has always been a challenge. However, now that much of the burden of retirement income has shifted to employees instead of employers, it is all the more important that we begin teaching the principles of saving and investing to people as early as possible In a recent survey, 44 percent of Americans said they would rather discuss death, religion or politics than talk about personal finance with a loved one.

There is one predominant reason why retirement portfolio design must be approached differently today than in previous years: There is an infant alive in this world, right now, who is expected to reach age 200. That’s the prediction from demographers researching life expectancy trends, according to Olivia Mitchell, a business economics and public policy professor who teaches at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and is the executive director of the school’s Pension Research Council. One of the main tenets of retirement income planning is to recognize that a portfolio is a living, breathing entity. It will independently change throughout time based on market forces, but you will need to step in every now and then to make structural changes as you age.
