Delray Beach, FL. January 21, 2020: Mindy Felinton, founder of Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning Centers, has posted a new blog on her law firm’s website entitled “One Of The Biggest Retirement Planning Secrets,” in which Ms. Felinton hopes that revealing the secret will spur more people into action.

According to Felinton, “The one thing that comes as the biggest surprise to most retirees is this: Retirement will probably last longer than you expect!” She continues, “That’s right. And, once this is discovered, many people wonder why they didn’t know. Why would anyone keep this secret?” She states, “It’s not that professional financial advisors and attorneys aren’t mentioning it. The real issue is that most people don’t start saving or thinking about retirement until much later in life.” Felinton adds, “The fact is that most people spend about 20 years in retirement. However, that is changing as medical advances continue to lengthen life span expectancies.”

“The longer we live,” writes Felinton, “the sooner we have to start saving for retirement. Once upon a time, 75% of one’s income was enough to save and get one through retirement. That was the common wisdom. But if you don’t earn a lot of money, you could need as much as 90% of what you earn annually.”
