7 Things No One Tells You About Retirement

So essentially the seven things.

So first thing we're going to be covering is retirement history reveals a lot.

And I am not a history buff.

In fact, when I saw a timeline go on the screen back in high school and history class, I immediately zoned out.

So I'm not going to be covering an overall timeline, but what we can do is kind of hit on four major things that have changed from 1899 when the first social security check was created to where we are today in 2026.

So First thing, retirement history reveals a lot.

Second is the wrong top 10 list, the 10 most stressful life events a person goes through in their lifetime.

This was a psychiatrist-done study, so we can kind of cover those 10.

Number three, the unspoken side of retirement, which I'll get in front of it right off the bat.

I mean, this is something that is the dark sides of retirement that with right preparation and conversation can easily be avoided, but unfortunately sometimes slips through the cracks and becomes reality.

So we'll cover that.

Number four, major transition miscalculation.

That one means the most to me personally, because I am only 30 years old and I am so, so far from being able to retire.

So when you think about kind of where I am in life today, you know, we think we gain more when we retire, but we actually lose a lot, too.

And we'll cover that at number four.

Number five, where cliche advice goes wrong.

I feel like everybody has advice for people that doesn't necessarily mean it's the right advice.

So that's what we'll cover at five.

Number six is the broken record of longevity.

Essentially, not only are we living longer, but we're actually feeling younger while we do it.

So I'll describe that at number six, and we'll wrap it up with retirement's greatest paradox at number seven.

So before I dive in, you know, anything off the top of the bat you guys want to cover right off the bat, or we can just kind of bulldoze into number one.

Let's bulldoze.

Let's bulldoze.

All right.
