183: Ben Nemtin - Most Retirees' Regrets Have Nothing to Do With Money
Episode 183
Wednesday, 26 August, 2026
What happens when a client has enough money to retire, but no idea what they actually want retirement to look like?Ben Nemtin knows that problem better than most. After struggling with anxiety and depression at 19, he and three friends created a list of things they wanted to do before they died. That experiment eventually became The Buried Life and led to nearly two decades of studying purpose, regret, and what actually makes people feel alive.This week’s conversation covers why some clients lose their sense of identity after retirement, why the habits that helped them build wealth can keep them from enjoying it, and how financial advisors can help clients get clearer on what all that money is actually for.3 Insights From This Week’s Episode…1.) The Retirement Problem a Financial Plan Can't SolveClients can reach financial independence and still feel completely unprepared for the loss of structure, identity, relationships, and purpose that can come with leaving work. We explore why this transition can be harder than the numbers suggest.2.) Why Some Clients Never Feel “Rich Enough”Saving can become a lifelong default. Even when the plan says they're financially secure, some clients still struggle to spend on the experiences they spent decades working toward. That tension creates an important opportunity for advisors.3.) Trust Is Built Beyond The SpreadsheetClients don't only want to know whether their plan works. They want to know that their advisor understands what the money is actually for. Ben and I explore what advisors may be missing when those deeper conversations never happen.SPONSORED BY BELAYIf you’re an advisor and you’re still scheduling your own appointments, sending your own follow-up emails, or dealing with other tasks keeping you from bringing on other clients, you’re the bottleneck.
