Abstract
The US ex-president Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. From the big picture, the aging problem has been or already slopped in many countries and regions. With the development of technology and healthcare, it is foreseeable to result in a longer lifetime and a healthier body, which should be good news for all human beings. However, the collateral costs are also unavoidably rising. By 2050, it is projected that one in six people in the world will be over the age of 65. This shift in demographics will have far-reaching social, economic, and political implications. Policies, like Social Security, National Pension System, National Insurance Scheme, etc., are all implemented based on the current economic environment, more to the point, the world is in a state of flux, and linear increment can never produce the order of magnitude achievements. To achieve real financial freedom, technical asset allocation may be a bite of the cherry, by financially operating retirement planning by almost any measure, can help to identify and mitigate more potential risks, achieve retirement goals and secure a financial future.
