WSJ Your Money Briefing · Some Retirees Are Full of Regret. Here’s How to Retire Better. · 12 Jul 2023 podcast

So figuring out what will motivate you in retirement. voice-verified

So if you're a very driven person, voice-verified

You need to figure out how you're going to fill up your time, whether it's a new interest, whether it's studying. voice-verified

People forget that so much of their self-worth, their sense of achievement, accomplishment is all connected to their job very often. voice-verified

And so when your job ends, you might be sitting around saying, wait, who am I? voice-verified

What's the meaning of my life? voice-verified

What am I doing here? voice-verified

And so cultivating some of those interests, those hobbies, those passions while you're still working can help set you up for retirement that is happier and more fulfilling. voice-verified

It doesn't go away, but how people relate to you often goes away. voice-verified

For example, if you were an executive, maybe you're not CEO, but you were an executive and you don't have 100 reports checking in with you and giving you a sense of meaning or a sense of accomplishment every day. voice-verified

You're not making all these thousand decisions every day. voice-verified

You might find yourself floundering. voice-verified

But yes, you as a core person, that doesn't change. voice-verified

And it actually never had anything to do with your job. voice-verified

It's interesting, the biggest predictor of longevity, health, and happiness in later life is the quality of your relationships. voice-verified

And that's a finding from the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which has followed families for decades. voice-verified

I spoke to a gentleman who had retired about 18 months ago, and he was just so happy to be walking out the door saying, you know, I'm never going back to working again. voice-verified

But he didn't factor something really important into his equation. voice-verified

Soon after he retired, his son and his family, who used to live two hours away, moved all the way to New Zealand. voice-verified

And as we know, that's a very expensive and far flight. voice-verified
