Victory Lap Retirement
.
Are you headed towards a Victory Lap Retirement?
In an age where people are living far longer than ever before, the traditional “full-stop” retirement – work until your mid-60s, then withdraw completely- simply doesn’t add up anymore.
Victory Lap Retirement challenges that outdated model by arguing that the best path forward isn’t stepping off the track – it’s slowing your pace, choosing your race, and designing a life that blends work and play on your own terms.
This isn’t just about money and finances (though those are crucial), but about purpose, balance, health and making sure the years after your career are rich, not merely restful.
Whether you’re approaching “retirement age,” well beyond it, or simply curious about what lies ahead, this book offers a roadmap: how to build a transition into what the authors call a Victory Lap—a phase of life where you work because you want to, not because you have to, and where you savour every moment.
