The financial services industry has sold us a massive delusion: the static, immovable retirement finish line. Whether it’s Freedom55, retiring at 65, or the extreme sacrifices of the FIRE movement, we have been conditioned to craft our entire lives around a point in time where we simply stop working.
In this episode of Catalyst Conversations, Hadriana Leo dismantles the delusion of the retirement finish line. For high-earning women—especially first-generation wealth builders—focusing solely on an arbitrary age or balance sheet transfer cheats you out of present joy and future impact. True wealth building isn't about retiring early; it's about stepping into the identity of a Wealth Ancestor—the foundational figure upon whose shoulders future generations build enduring sovereignty.
