The 100-Year Life: Is Your Retirement Plan Still Valid? [W&S 153, Sponsored by OCBC]

Описание: "How would you spend the extra 20 years?"

It's not a hypothetical question anymore; it's a demographic certainty. We are all living longer, and the traditional three-stage life of *study, work, retire* is officially obsolete. But what does a 100-year life truly look like, and how do we prepare for a future that is fundamentally different from the one our parents knew?

Dive into the seismic shift of longevity, exploring the financial, career, and personal implications of a life that stretches far beyond the conventional timeline.

You’ll hear from:
Sher-li Torrey, founder of Moms at Work, on navigating the caregiver years and reclaiming your life beyond them.
Brandon Lee, Assistant Chief Executive of Workforce Singapore, on redesigning careers and embracing portfolio living in a 100-year lifespan.
Pui Wah Loh, a “vintage” professional who retired at 61 and is now reshaping what it means to live with purpose in your third act.

We dive into:
Why living longer means taking more risks especially when you’re younger.
How to balance time, health, and wealth across different life stages.
The power of experimentation, failure, and self-reflection in crafting a meaningful longer life.

Whether you’re in your 20s, navigating mid-life, or reimagining retirement, this conversation will challenge how you think about your future—and inspire you to design it with intention.

Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion.

Tune in now and start rethinking your extra 20 years.
