Why You Need To Retire Earlier Than You Think

Everyone plans on living to 85. That's roughly 4,300 weeks.

But the brutal truth? Data shows that your body stops letting you live freely around age 60.

That means you actually have about 3,000 weeks of real freedom. Maybe less.

Then you subtract all those years you wasted being a child (silly), and your current age right now…

Suddenly you're left with a stark reality of just how little time we all have to truly live.

This week on The Investor Lab, we're breaking down the three timelines that actually matter — and why most people are planning their retirement around the wrong one.

This week, we're diving into:

  • The three clocks running your life: how long you'll live, how long you'll be healthy, and how long you'll be FREE
  • The shocking data that stops people from living life on their terms
  • How to front-load the life you want instead of back-loading it to retirement
  • The vitality action plan — what to do right now, regardless of your current age

Most people think they're planning for 4,300 weeks.
Smart people plan for the 3,000 weeks that actually count.

This isn't about being morbid — it's about being realistic. Our hope is that once you understand this, you'll never think about money, work, or retirement the same way again.

See you on the inside,
