E134:
The “American Dream” has changed, our times have changed, and our capabilities have changed so why should our expectations and idea of retirement stay the same? I don’t believe in the idea of traditional retirement anymore. The idea that we would work our entire lives notably our prime years of health doing things we hate with the hope that we can retire and do everything on our bucket list when it’s more difficult or impossible makes no sense to me. With both the CEO’s of Marriott the largest hospitality hotel group and Airbnb the largest gorilla warfare of hospitality and experiences with eyes on “workation” as their biggest growth I see a bright future for us all doing bucket list items and retiring now. Killing overhead, managing life creep, killing debt, and getting income from the things we love with mobile abilities to connect to a larger market of the world via the internet gives us the ability to retire younger and do everything we want. No more limiting ourselves based on what has “always been done”. Let’s wake up from work and start living.
