Sponsored by SmartAsset
Are Your Retirement Savings Safe?
If you have $2.5 million saved, you’re well ahead of most Americans.
But how long that money lasts may depend less on the balance itself—and more on the decisions you make with it.
Wondering how much you can actually spend each year in retirement?
A financial advisor may be able to size and structure your retirement budget based on your income sources, spending needs, tax situation, and goals—so you know what’s realistic for you.
SmartAsset’s free quiz can help you find and compare vetted financial advisors who serve your area, each legally bound to work in your best interest.
It’s never too late to plan to work toward a comfortable retirement.

Sponsored by Ethos
A Simple Act of Love Every Senior Can Do
For most of its history, buying life insurance meant home visits, blood draws, and weeks of waiting. Algorithms changed that. Ethos uses data-driven underwriting to assess risk from a short online questionnaire, so most applicants skip the medical exam entirely and get a decision the same day.
What used to take weeks now takes as little as 10 minutes. And at the end of it, the people you love are protected.
Over 500,000 families are already covered (available in every state except NY).
