Reframing Money, Work, and Retirement with Michael Finke

There is a science to retirement, and if we do it with purpose it
can turn out very well. Ever wonder how to make the most of your
money, work, and time as you age? There is data out there about
this and we will dive into it. Today we talk with professor
Michael Finke about finding the happy medium between these three,
the meaning of money and the impact of work. Michael Finke, Ph.D.
is a Professor of wealth management and Frank M. Engle
Distinguished Chair in Economic Security at The American College
of Financial Services and an expert on all things related money,
retirement satisfaction and the psychology of retirement.


Knowing that various 'asset classes' like relationships, health,
and intellectual curiosity can provide both immediate and
long-term rewards, we explore opportunities to  balance
finances while still pursuing these other joy-forward assets. We
also talk about the struggle of transitioning from a saving to a
spending mindset in retirement - and where people often go
wrong-which involves the limbic system of the brain and how it
conflicts with our pre-frontal cortex.

Key Moments:


“It's the spending of the money on the right kind of things that
make you happy.”





“And in retirement, money facilitates. It's an avenue towards
activities that actually do make you happy.”





“People feel differently about spending money from savings than
they do spending money from income… Well, people spend more when
they have $35,000 of income versus having $500,000 in savings.
That's an example of how using your money the right way can
actually help you get more satisfaction.”
