Financial Longevity presents a practical approach to personal financial planning designed to help readers ensure that their financial resources support them throughout an increasingly long life. Michael Merlin introduces the concept of a “wealth span,” referring to the period during which an individual’s assets can sustain desired spending, security, and personal goals. The book identifies common financial behaviors and planning weaknesses that can shorten this span and offers strategies for improving saving, investing, spending, and long-term decision-making. It also addresses the emotional dimensions of money, including guilt, uncertainty, and lack of confidence, while encouraging readers to align financial choices with the life they wish to create. Written for adults at different stages of their financial journey, the work provides accessible guidance for strengthening financial resilience, preparing for future needs, and using accumulated wealth with greater clarity and confidence
