The Curve

Should You Take a “Micro-Retirement”?

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟


Thinking about a “micro retirement” now instead of waiting till 65? Same - let’s put a number on that itch. In this ep, we unpack the micro-retirement trend, why burnout and non-linear life plans are pushing it, and the real money maths behind pressing pause - like how skipping a year of £500/month investing can cost ~£200k by retirement, and how saving for the break first (or eight years of missed contributions) can snowball toward seven figures in opportunity cost.

We get practical too: plan your expenses, consider renting out your place, keep investing if you can, and if one partner stays home, talk about splitting pension/retirement contributions so nobody gets financially punished for caregiving. You’ll leave with a sanity-saving checklist, a fresh respect for compounding, and permission to chase variety - just not at the expense of Future You’s nest egg.
