I'm 73 I Need to Tell You the Truth About Retirement

Описание: Retirement truth, retirement regrets, and retirement reality. I spent 40 years staring at a calendar, circling the date. The gold watch. The handshake. The cake in the break room. I told myself it was the finish line. The beginning of the real life I'd been waiting for.

Well, I've been retired for eight years now. And I need to tell you something you don't want to hear: Retirement is a hotel lobby. You spend your whole life saving for a ticket to a place that doesn't exist.

In this video, I share the hard truths about:

· Leaving your purpose behind when you leave your job
· The strain retirement puts on marriage ("I married you for better or worse, but not for lunch")
· The physical reality of aging that the brochures don't show you
· The tragic story of my friend Bill who lasted only 4 days in retirement
· Why "later" is a trap that eats you alive

I used to think retirement was the movie. I was wrong. The movie is playing right now. I just had the volume turned down because I was too busy planning for the sequel.

If you are 40, 50, or 60 and grinding for that finish line, you need to hear this. Don't sacrifice the present on the altar of the future. The future is not promised. The future is a rumor. The only thing that's real is right now.
