This podcast is for you. One option is to user your retirement savings and purchase an annuity. There are plenty of insurance companies eager to secure your future with a host of very different products called annuities. Economists think about longevity risk when they hear the word annuity. But many/most "annuities" entail investing in the market with a guarantee independent of your longevity. I.e., they are closer to bonds than traditional single-life annuities. I can't think of anyone better suited to discuss annuities than Kerry Pechter. Do listen to this terrific podcast and please share it.
