Planners must manage these factors to develop retirement income plans that produce both efficient and sustainable income and encourage retirees to spend at optimal levels. This presentation addresses the intersection between the current economic environment and the psychology of retirees to provide application-based insights into the ever evolving world of retirement income planning.
