In the next few episodes of Freedonomix we are sitting down with our clients to chat through their personal lived experience of Retirement. We have thoroughly enjoyed these genuine conversations about our clients journey's through both the financial and lifestyle experience of their retirements and we think there are a number of pieces of gold throughout.

In this episode of Freedonomix, we speak with John Hurley about his experience of moving into retirement and what the transition has really looked like in practice. John shares some of his career background, what he valued most about his working life, and what he was looking forward to as retirement drew closer.

We also discuss the uncertainty that can come with such a major life change — the things he felt nervous about, what surprised him once retirement began, and what turned out differently to what he expected. A key part of the conversation is also the role of health in retirement, and how important it becomes in shaping lifestyle, freedom and enjoyment in this next phase of life.

It's an honest and thoughtful discussion about the realities of retirement, with practical insights for those starting to think about what life after work might really involve.
