A midlife wake-up call that changed everything
When Lynda Smith reviewed her finances in her early fifties, she discovered a difficult truth. If she retired at 60, her money would run out by 64. It was a wake-up call that forced her to rethink the future.
In this episode of Life Chapters, Money Choices, Michael Avery and Kim Potgieter are joined by Lynda Smith, founder of 50Plus-Skills, who works with people navigating career reinvention beyond 50.
Together they explore:
• What it feels like when the retirement maths no longer adds up
• Why living longer is changing the traditional retirement model
• How portfolio careers can extend both purpose and financial security
• The idea of a “gift season” between 50 and 75
• Why continuing to contribute can transform both money and meaning
It is a thoughtful conversation about midlife reinvention, longevity, and why working differently may be the key to a longer and richer life.
