We may be living longer, but are our finances in the best of health?

On today’s Money Box Live we take a stroll through the decades and examine the kind of financial challenges that living longer might throw at us.

A growing number of people in the UK are reaching 100 – Sir David Attenborough among them - and there are now more than 600,000 people in their nineties, but are we sufficiently prepared for the true costs of sustaining a healthy income into later life.

Felicity Hannah is joined by two expert panellists who are answering listener questions - Dr Suzy Morrissey, deputy director of the Pensions Policy Institute, and Jonathan Cribb, deputy director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

How do you ensure your money lasts as long as you do?
