As The Century Plan returns for its third season, Sarah and Dennis revisit its purpose.

Episode 1 of Season 3 opens with Dennis and Sarah taking a deeper dive into the challenges we all face from longevity risk.

And they highlight the marked difference between the size of pension pot needed to support you if you live to 80 or if you live past 90 years.

Can we afford to live to age 100?

What is longevity risk?

How much money will we need for a moderate standard of living in retirement?

What is the difference between a financial planner and a financial adviser?

When will we need their help?

As ever, Dennis and Sarah take a conversational and anecdotal approach to the complex business of financial planning.
