About this episode

You think retirement = a free and happy life. What you may not know: retirement can be bad for your health.

In this episode, I unpack The Millionaire in You and the truth about retirement: if retiring just means "stopping work," without new goals and meaning, it may actually speed up a decline in health.

You'll hear: • A shocking retirement story: from a retirement party to a funeral six months later • Why traditional retirement systems were designed for an era of shorter lives • Research from the US and Taiwan: does retiring early mean dying sooner? • What is a mini-retirement, and how did Tim Ferriss's idea change the way we design our lives? • How the film The Intern can inspire us to start a second chapter

If you're planning your future, or thinking about leaving the workforce, you have to hear this one! Real retirement isn't "doing nothing," but "doing what you truly love." Are you ready to climb your second mountain?
