What Does It Mean to Retire Now?

After long careers and years of saving, many of today’s retirees have decided not to set sail on an exotic cruise or spend their days on the golf course. They’re changing what it means to retire by re-entering the workforce—and creating an entirely new market in the process. In this episode of the Ideas podcast, we look at the tech startups, nonprofits, and even the baby boomers themselves who are shaping the newly retired market. Steve Records, the Vice President of Field Operations at SCORE, explains how connecting young entrepreneurs with retired mentees has shown him that 70 is the new 40. Dan Hunt, Managing Director and Senior Investment Strategist at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, explains how shifts in financial planning are changing the way we see retirement. And Sam Gerstenzang, the co-founder of Umbrella, a company that hires recent-retirees to help older seniors with odd jobs, introduces us to two of his clients: Cathy and Yariv, who embody why this market has the power to bring both younger and older generations unprecedented joy. We’ll be taking a break for next week’s holiday, but we’ll be back soon with our season finale of the Morgan Stanley Ideas Podcast.
