Rente: Finanzpsychologe Valentin Haas: „Der Ruhestand wird gesellschaftlich glorifiziert“

Valentin Haas, a financial psychologist, meets people every day who face major life decisions and consequently become highly stressed. This often revolves around retirement or leaving a company they have helped build. Haas has noticed that retirement is frequently anticipated as a form of redemption. Conversely, the question "What will come next?" leaves many people in a state of existential crisis.

In the ongoing debate over retirement reforms, which also involves people working longer, Haas sees similar reflexes to those he experiences in his practice in Hannover. In an interview, the psychologist discusses the pitfalls of part-time work and why retirement should be planned not only financially but also for freedom, which is often deceptive. He also asserts that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot replace humans.
