A Few Useful Finds for Life After Work — Issue #1

Hi from Stefan,

Welcome to the first issue of a short newsletter I’ll be sending every other Wednesday. In these notes, I’ll share ideas, tools, and other inspiration I come across related to life after work. Nothing in this newsletter is included for compensation.

A book I’m reading

A Wealth of Well-Being: A Holistic Approach to Behavioral Finance by Meir Statman

An article worth reading

Why the Social Security Trust Fund is projected to run out of money in 2033—and how two Stanford economists propose restoring it to solvency.

A show I’m watching

The Diplomat, Season 3 (Netflix). Watch seasons 1 and 2 first.

A quote I’ve been thinking about

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.”

—Henry David Thoreau
