Financial Longevity

If you live longer than expected, will your money last as long as you do?

Most people plan for retirement—not longevity. Financial Longevity offers a clear roadmap to grow your wealth, spend it wisely, and build a future you’re proud of.

All proceeds from the book support the Perpetual Path Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Michael to expand access to financial education in schools and colleges across the country.
