Show Notes

"People believe in the back of their mind if they're not working, they don't deserve to earn."

 

Ever wonder why some people retire at 34 while others work until they die? Del Walmsley overheard a conversation at dinner that sparked this eye-opening episode about the invisible prison most people never escape. Two guys at the bar were discussing their retirement "savings" - but they had no actual plan to ever stop working.

 

Del breaks down the harsh reality: most people can't even imagine a life without work. They're trapped in a cycle of saving money in accounts, hoping it'll somehow be enough when they're "old and gray." Meanwhile, Del has been retired since age 34, living in a 16,000 square foot home with money coming in every month without lifting a finger.
