Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing · Crucial Steps for the “Pre-Go” Years Before Retirement · 22 Aug 2026 podcast

We think if we just got a raise or if we just got that new car or that new job, something, we feel good about it for a little while, but then at some point we're like, uh I'm not quite as happy as I thought I would be.

And the research on happiness in retirement is somewhat mixed.

But for many people, it is the best thing that ever happened to them.

For other people, there's the honeymoon period, but then they feel a little lost.

So given your experience, what have you seen in terms of happiness in retirement and preparing for that transition, that period of your life where you're completely unstructured?

And as you alluded to in the beginning of the interview, part of it was you taking the time

On a vacation, really, and having that experience.

I kind of had the same sort of experience recently.

I know you were born in Iowa.

I did rag bri a couple of times, the annual bike ride across Iowa.

And it gave me a taste of like, you know what, maybe having some time to hang out and ride my bike wouldn't be so bad, actually.

And it I also kind of moved up my idea of when I might retire.

I'm not sure.

But maybe we'll see.

Well, Dana, are there any final thoughts or recommendations you have when it comes to retirement planning?

Well, Dana, this has been a great conversation.
