Part 9/10:
Redefining Retirement and Living a Fully Embodied Life
Traditional American culture views retirement as a fixed season—work for decades and then enjoy leisure in later years. However, a new wave of thinkers challenges this notion, reimagining retirement not as an end, but as a continuous, flexible lifestyle. The focus shifts from merely saving enough to “stop working” to creating a life filled with purpose, passion, and freedom right now.
The essential takeaway is that time is finite. Given our limited time on earth, why wait to pursue the life you want? Living intentionally today—by aligning your spending with your values and passions—can help build a life you love, while still planning for the future.
