Ready ka na bang mag-retire?

In this episode of Generations, veteran journalist Luchi Cruz-Valdes, content creators Raco Ruiz and Abi Marquez, and motivational speaker Francis Kong discuss what it really means to prepare for retirement—from having your finances in order and getting health insurance, to the more personal questions of identity, purpose, and starting over. They also talk about the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) concept, the difference between financial independence and financial freedom, and whether it’s possible to enjoy your life today while securing your future. 

The Generations podcast is executive produced by Sheila Paras with Brooke Villanueva of PhilSTAR Life and Sol Galang of IM Creatives.
