Retirement planning must evolve to account for this new category of ongoing, app-driven living costs. @AbacusGM $ABL uses data-driven, longevity-focused solutions to help clients prepare for these evolving expenses.

“I’m hoping this is a kick-start moment, to start having people realize that it’s more than money,” says AgeLab's Dr. @josephcoughlin, of the Longevity Preparedness Index, developed in partnership with @Manulife @johnhancockusa.

Let’s talk about preparing to live longer, better! Today at @HLTH2025 with ⁦⁦@johnhancockusa⁩ Lindsay Hanson ⁦@MIT_AgeLab⁩

US adults generally are underprepared to live well as they age, and the biggest “longevity blind spot” involves planning for their future potential #caregiving needs, according to a new survey of 1,300 adults. @MIT_AgeLab @johnhancockusa tinyurl.com/2y9rk32s

A great look at the Longevity Preparedness Index, which introduces a new conversation – and establishes benchmarks – for measuring US adults' preparedness to thrive as they age. We are proud to have developed this new index in collaboration with @johnhancockusa. @josephcoughlin
