  • Forget the money! This is what makes RETIREES happy!

    Forget the money! This is what makes RETIREES happy!
    Aug 16 2025
    We spend decades saving for retirement — chasing numbers, building portfolios, and planning for financial freedom. But when the paychecks stop and the days open up, many retirees realize something surprising: money alone doesn’t make you happy.

    In this video, we explore what really brings joy and fulfillment in retirement — and it has nothing to do with how much you have in the bank. Drawing from my real life experience, I talk about what has made a direct and deep difference in my happiness during my retirement. Whether it’s nurturing relationships, discovering new passions, or finding ways to give back, this video will challenge the idea that a bigger nest egg equals a better retirement. It’s about creating a life that feels rich — in meaning, not just money. If you’re retired, planning to retire, or just rethinking what truly matters, this video is for you.

  • RETIREMENT Changes everything! The transformations no one talks about!

    RETIREMENT Changes everything! The transformations no one talks about!
    Aug 9 2025
    Retirement is supposed to be the reward — the golden years we’ve worked for our whole lives. But what happens when the freedom you've dreamed of brings more questions than answers?

    In this video, we’re diving deep into the emotional and personal transformations that retirement brings — the ones no one really warns you about. From losing structure and routine to rediscovering purpose and identity, retirement can shake you up in ways you never expected. You’ll hear about the quiet grief that can come with walking away from a long-held role, and the surprising joy that emerges when you start living on your own terms.

    This video explores how retirement changes not just how you spend your time — but how you see yourself, your relationships, and your life’s meaning. Whether you're newly retired, counting down the days, or supporting someone through this major transition, this video is a must-watch. Let’s talk openly about the shift from doing to being, from chasing to choosing. Because retirement changes everything — and when we understand those changes, we can step into this next chapter with intention, courage, and maybe even excitement.

    👇 Share your own retirement transformation in the comments — I’d love to hear your story.
