HerMoney with Jean Chatzky

Ep 507: Healthy to 100: The Real ROI of Connection in Retirement


Listen Later

As we head into a new year and set goals for our health, wealth, and happiness, there’s one powerful factor that’s often overlooked: social connection.

In this episode, Jean Chatzky sits down with Ken Stern, longevity expert and author of the new book Healthy to 100: How Strong Social Ties Lead to Long Lives, to explore how the loneliness epidemic is quietly threatening both our health and our finances, and what we can do about it.

Whether you're nearing retirement, navigating your second act, or just looking to improve your healthspan (not just lifespan!), this conversation is packed with practical tips on:

  • How to build meaningful relationships without overspending
  • Why third places (not home or work) are essential to healthy aging
  • What other countries are doing right when it comes to retirement and lifelong learning
  • How women, in particular, can fight isolation and plan for long, vibrant lives
