The traditional approach to retirement is failing us. It’s based on the belief that retirees and aging are synonymous with becoming weaker and less capable. That retirement is about winding down and playing it safe, because, you know, retirees are frail. This outdated and patronizing view assumes that when you retire from your job, you also retire from life. The message in Badass Retirement is a rallying cry for the few – maybe you – who look around and desperately desire a more fulfilling and enriching path for their lives in retirement.
