Financially, I'm set to retire next year. Assuming nothing too crazy happens to the markets or my investments. I'll be 64 when I retire and realizing how close all this is has me a little worried. Did I save enough money? Will I get bored and hate retirement? Should I keep working a little longer? Does anyone else struggle with these ideas?

If you have a lot of investments tied to stocks, I think it will be wise to transition to something else (part of it or all of it) . The AI bubble will lead to correction (best case) or a crash (worst case), we just don’t know when.

Rest of it depends on your personal situation and I can’t really comment on that. If you saved enough depends entirely on your spending habits. If you get bored then you can take on contract jobs - the point is that you are free to do whatever you wish.

If you’ve not yet done, you should know what your monthly expenses will be and project how long savings will last. You could use Boldin. Save yourself from more spreadsheet pain! Most of us over-save. The most important aspect is to let go of the “need to save” dimension and get into “need to spend” dimension!!! All the best.

You’re gonna be better than most just for planning

Think of a new hobby though
