WSJ - I Spent 44 Years Studying Retirement. Then I Retired. - David Ekerdt

Post by DavidW »

I found this interesting article on WSJ about a researcher who studies retirement/aging and now, he himself has retired (a year and half). He is reflecting from the experience and perspective.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/44-years-s ... 1634913113

Probably most of the items have been mentioned by others on this board here but it is interesting to hear it from a person who did this for a living....

If you have time, check out the comments following the article. There seems to have nuggets of good info as well.
