You Can Retire… But You Might Not Like the Life You Built
Episode 353
Sunday, 18 January, 2026
Many people retire with enough money — and still feel lost.James explains why financial readiness alone doesn’t guarantee a fulfilling retirement, and why some of the most financially prepared retirees struggle once work ends. Through a real-life example, he shows how retirement can solve a money problem while leaving a life problem untouched. The episode explores the hidden challenges that often surprise retirees: losing identity, too much unstructured time, and strained relationships when expectations don’t align. These risks aren’t captured by retirement software, but they shape how retirement actually feels day to day.The takeaway is simple and powerful: before asking “Can I retire?”, it’s worth asking “Will I like the life I’m building?”Money matters — but it’s meant to support a meaningful life, not define it.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.
