Wise Quotes

On Retiring Earlier - If You Can

"I give this advice all the time, retire earlier - if you've been doing the same thing for a long time. If you can afford it, stop, sell it or quit, or whatever. I wish I had done that four or five years earlier. So, you don't know that until you've stopped doing it. And the other thing that really surprised me is [the value] of starting something new."

On Reinventing Yourself

"I think younger people are really looking at this unretirement movement and what they're going to do next way more seriously than we did. And I think it's great. I really do. I think if you are 50 years old, you should really be considering what you think you want to do next. And maybe you could phase part of it in. Why not start incorporating some of this stuff when you're younger?  I think your life would be a lot more fulfilling, rather than just throwing everything you have at this massive job. I think people are less and less interested in that these days. And people who are already in retirement, I hope that you really are open-minded about trying new things... Figure out if this is something you really like and put your efforts into it."
