Short excerpt from a YouTube conversation between Jeff (interviewer) and Chris Larsen (guest) about post-retirement financial attitudes. Chris emphasizes that retiring shouldn't mean living with persistent worry about money and highlights the importance of an abundance mindset (vs. a scarcity mindset) when evaluating partners and financial strategies like investing for passive income and growth.
What kind of life is that to work your entire career to get to retirement, and now you're worried about running out of money. You're worried about going on trips or buying gifts or whatever, and you have to live like, I mean, it's just like, no, thank you. Yeah.
Yeah. No, and I, that's, that's an excellent point, Jeff. You know, I've been asked on a lot of podcasts and a lot of interviews, like, what's the number one thing you look for in partners? And the number one thing I look for is do they have a scarcity or an abundance mindset? Because when you have a scarcity mindset, it's very toxic in a lot of ways. It's very challenging. If you invest for passive income and growth, but have that passive income, it's way more aligned with that abundance mindset, which I really like.
