EP155: Discover Why Retirement Isn't What You Think - Dustin Bailey

In today’s episode, Dustin Bailey joins us as we explore the importance of questioning the status quo, taking actionable steps towards an alternative path, and the vital role of mental preparation in achieving true financial freedom. Whether you're contemplating a shift from your 9-to-5, in the middle of restructuring your financial life, or simply curious about breaking away from conventional financial planning, this conversation is a must-listen.

Dustin shares how he broke free from the traditional retirement model that revolves around saving quietly for 40 years, hoping that life events or the stock market don't derail your plans. Drawing from his life-altering read of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and his personal experiences, Dustin explains why he chose to focus on generating passive income and impactful work over merely aiming to replace his working income after retirement.

In this episode, you will learn 

  • Redefining wealth in terms of time and passive income
  • Reassessing the goal of retirement to prioritize time and lifestyle over money
  • The effects of societal and cultural expectations on retirement views
  • Importance of building around lifestyle desires and not merely financial accumulation
