Part 3 in our ongoing video series on managing your retirement
Retirement is often described as the ultimate reward: more freedom, more time, and the chance to set your own schedule. But this short video explores an emotional challenge many people do not expect.

The video calls this the “striver’s curse”: the shift from being known for what you do to wondering who you are without it. In just two minutes, it offers a reminder that preparing for retirement means thinking about purpose and identity as well as finances.
