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

Valentin Haas, a financial psychologist, encounters people daily who are facing significant life decisions, causing them immense stress. This often revolves around retirement or leaving a company they have helped build. Through his work as a business coach and financial psychologist, Haas has observed that retirement is frequently anticipated as a kind of redemption.

However, the question of what comes next often plunges many into a crisis of meaning. In the ongoing debate over pension reforms, which also seeks to extend working years, Haas witnesses similar reactions in his Hannover practice. During an interview, the psychologist discusses the pitfalls of part-time work and why retirement requires not just financial planning, but also a realistic understanding of freedom and why artificial intelligence (AI) cannot replace humans.
