Specifically thinking of stuff that make your life better in the long run but all kinds of answers are welcome!

I’ve recently learnt about lifetraps and it’s made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

    Nah.

    You don’t need to “retire” for a few years in your 40s to figure out how to make money in your 80s. You’re either going to be investing or developing projects or studying, none of which is retirement.

    You don’t have to work 60 hours a week from your 20s to your 60s. You could work 40 or even 30 hours a week and spend some time figuring out how to make money in your 80s.

    Yes its possible to die at 55, but it’s unusual, and it’s daft to plan on that because obviously in the more likely event that you do not die, you might run out of money.

    It’s fine to focus on a good balance between work and life in your 30s and 40s, bit I think calling it a brief “retirement” in your 40s or 50s planning to return to work later isn’t a great plan.
