In this episode of Retirement Readiness, Brigette Engstrom challenges conventional thinking around retirement. Rather than treating it as a final destination, she explains how retirement is an evolving life phase—one that demands continuous learning, personal growth, and financial agility. With longer life expectancies and a shifting economic landscape, the episode dives into why old-school “set it and forget it” strategies fall short. Engstrom urges listeners to stop viewing retirement planning as just numbers on a spreadsheet and instead start designing a flexible, purpose-driven future tailored to their lifestyle, values, and evolving income sources.
