Episode notes
Prime Time Reframes Midlife
- Bec Wilson reframes pre-retirement as "prime time," a long, valuable life stage rather than an end.
- She argues many 50-year-olds are just entering the good part of life and shouldn't be writing themselves off.
Three Phases Of Prime Time
- Bec defines three primary phases within prime time: setup, lifestyling, and part-timing before epic retirement.
- She views retirement more as a technical state and prime time as a mindset and extended opportunity.
Use Empty-Nest Years To Build Buffer
- Do use your empty-nest years to save and create a financial buffer before moving into lifestyling.
- Becoming a "bucket by choice" gives you freedom to spend intentionally rather than leak money away.
