Can a children’s poem change how you think about retirement? In this episode, we unpack the hidden wisdom in Shel Silverstein’s “Smart” and how it reflects a common retirement planning mistake: trading time and well-being for wealth you may no longer need.
We explore why it’s hard to step away from accumulation mode—even after reaching financial independence—and how this mindset can cost you more than it earns. The real risk isn’t running out of money. It’s not recognizing when you have enough.
Learn how a clear, personalized financial plan can help you shift focus from growing wealth to living well. Discover how to align your money with what matters most.
