Delayed gratification gives way to the 'chill retirement'
Original: Forget delayed gratification. Today’s consumer culture calls for a chill retirement
A Globe and Mail column argues that the old personal finance playbook — scrimping now for a comfortable later — no longer matches how people actually live. In today's consumer culture, the writer suggests, savers are aiming for a 'chill retirement' instead of maximal wealth, prioritising a relaxed, balanced lifestyle over decades of strict delayed gratification.
Why now: It challenges conventional retirement-saving advice at a time when many people are reassessing work, spending and financial goals.
