Transitioning from an aspiring early retiree to someone who embraces their career, I explored the notion of living to 100 and working to 100. Drawing inspiration from the unwavering work ethic of icons like Charlie Munger and Henry Kissinger, I shared insights on the value of finding purpose and fulfillment in one’s professional journey.
Navigating the challenges of housing in retirement, I shed light on the potential pitfalls of a “forever home” mindset. Through personal experiences and shared stories from readers around the globe, we uncovered the crucial role housing plays in retirement planning, addressing both physical and mental well-being.
