Episode 93: Retirement Is Broken: Should We Have to Work in Our 80s?

🎙️ Episode Description: Off The Couch
In this episode, host Dr. Greg Cason, producer Bryan Gomez, and guest Michelle Perkins — financial expert and host of the Money and You podcast — take a deep dive into the evolving meaning of retirement and its impact on mental health and purpose. Gone are the days when retirement meant simply slowing down. Today, many older adults are choosing to keep working, while younger generations feel the pressure of financial insecurity, with two-thirds of millennials lacking retirement savings. This reality sparks anxiety about the future and challenges long-held notions of what it means to retire. Together, the trio explores the emotional side of money management, the shifting job landscape, and the importance of lifelong learning and adaptability. The conversation is a thoughtful reminder that financial wellness isn’t just about numbers — it’s about mindset, purpose, and planning ahead in uncertain times.
