So I just think kind of how we think about middle age and what we do during middle age is really evolving. voice-verified

Sure. voice-verified

I mean, if we see people like women focusing more on their careers and education, the more years you save toward retirement can make a huge difference. voice-verified

I mean, there's also a sense that this can get a little bit risky, right? voice-verified

If you really just throw your total timeline to the wind and you're not saving for retirement at all, because what does it matter? voice-verified

You might end up in a tricky situation on the line. voice-verified

How much does this milestone even matter? voice-verified

Life expectancy plays a huge part of this. voice-verified

We're living longer. voice-verified

We're living 30 extra years on average over the last century. voice-verified

And so why not spread out some of these milestones? voice-verified
