Retiring Early: Stoicess & Professor Weekly Touch-Base

The alarm is going off again. It first went off at 6am, then 6:15, and now 6:30. Yeah, it’s “third time’s a charm” because if you don’t get up now, you’ll be late for work. But who cares, right? 

As you lie in bed, you dream of escaping the stresses and demands of your job. You’ve been stashing money away and have a comfortable nest egg. Thus, early retirement is an option, and spending your days on activities you want to pursue is very tempting. So, should you retire?

In this webinar, we address God’s view on retirement. We discuss a particular tribe of Israel that was commanded by God to retire at the age of 50. However, how they spent their retirement was different from our present-day view.  In fact, one could argue that they were as productive to society following their retirement. 

It’s a heart-warming story to remind us that as Christians, we always produce healthy fruit for others to consume – no matter our age.
