But when the paychecks stop and the days open up, many retirees realize something surprising: money alone doesn’t make you happy.In this video, we explore what really brings joy and fulfillment in retirement — and it has nothing to do with how much you have in the bank. Drawing from my real life experience, I talk about what has made a direct and deep difference in my happiness during my retirement. Whether it’s nurturing relationships, discovering new passions, or finding ways to give back, this video will challenge the idea that a bigger nest egg equals a better retirement. It’s about creating a life that feels rich — in meaning, not just money. If you’re retired, planning to retire, or just rethinking what truly matters, this video is for you.👇 Share in the comments: What brings you the most joy in this chapter of life?🔔 And don’t forget to subscribe for more honest, practical conversations about retirement and beyond.Please check out my video about loneliness in retirement ✅https://youtu.be/a4_OEVoJGcc?si=NlomXsaUbvJIBA4kPlease check out my video about the 3 stages of retirement....Go Go Phase, Slow Go Phase and No Go Phase. ✅https://youtu.be/4-_kDrQnwN8Please check out my video on the 4 stages of retirement! ✅https://youtu.be/sELWGP7IyusPlease join our Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/lifestartsatretirement
