What Does Not Needing Money Look Like at Different Stages of Your Life?


Listen Later

What if “not needing money” doesn’t mean being rich—but being free?


In this episode of The Pete the Planner Show, we explore how the concept of not needing money evolves as you age. From the beautiful ignorance of childhood, to the messy middle of adulthood, all the way to the promised land of retirement—we unpack what it really means to live with financial freedom at every stage.

You'll hear:

  • Why not needing money as a kid doesn’t count (but it was nice, wasn’t it?)
  • How adulthood tricks you into thinking you need more than you really do
  • What retirees get right—and wrong—about feeling financially untouchable

  • If you've ever fantasized about not worrying about money, this episode is your reality check (and maybe your roadmap).


    Thoughtful. Honest. And just a little snarky.
