The traditional financial planning industry will tell you that there is a retirement savings crisis in the US and that most people are at risk of running out of money in retirement, but those statistics are based on outdated systems and an unrealistic idea of what retirement even is. This episode explores where the modern ideal of retirement came from and introduces a shift in perspective in how to think about careers, saving for retirement and what retirement might look like for people in their 50's and younger. If you are worried about your financial future because you aren't able to save enough to stop working at 65 or sooner, this episode is for you. It won't tell you how to get there, but it will offer ideas to shift your thinking around what the point of it all is anyway.
