Retirement isn’t a cliff’s edge

It’s an evolving invitation to prepare, test and ensure each path we take aligns with our current definition of a life well-lived

Summarise

The traditional term “retirement” feels increasingly outdated and restrictive. It implies a hard stop, a binary switch from productive work to passive consumption.

by David R Hardoon

Rather than hoarding wealth for an uncertain future (or leaving behind an oversized inheritance), he advocates investing in experiences early, when health, energy and time allow for the greatest impact.

The ultimate goal? To die with roughly zero, having spent thoughtfully on living fully, supporting loved ones when they can most benefit (with a “warm hand” rather than a cold bequest) and contributing to causes while alive.
