The Retiree's Decathlon & Crazy Spending Stories 🏃🏻♂️🤪
|
Hello! Jesse Cramer here. Greetings from the serene Finger Lakes! We're taking a little R&R with the family. This is sunrise yesterday morning, looking east over Canandaigua Lake. Thank you for reading The Best Interest blog, And listening to my podcast, Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors. This Week's ContentFrom the blog...Peter Attia is a doctor, scientist, author, and all-around health advocate. His “Centenarian Decathlon“ is a framework that asks: “What 10 physical tasks do I want to be able to do at age 100?” Lofty stuff! From there, Attia works backward, identifying the strength, mobility, and endurance needed today to meet those goals in the future. This “decathlon” reframes fitness as preparation for longevity and independence, not aesthetics or performance. The idea is simple: train today for the functional life you want decades later. Can we do the same thing for retirement? What are the 10 most important aspects of a financially sound retirement, and how do we start preparing for that future today? 🔗 The Retiree's Financial Decathlon 🔗 On the podcast...Financial freedom doesn’t always come with a clear sense of how to enjoy money meaningfully. This latest podcast episode features six real stories from other financial creators about their struggles, failures, and lessons learned about spending money. Investing and retirement planning are terrific. But earning and spending is the foundation of personal finance. Give it a listen! 👂🎧 Scrimping, Splurging, & Crazy Spending Stories - Episode 109
