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

Valentin Haas, a financial psychologist, encounters individuals daily who are grappling with significant life decisions, causing them considerable stress. This often pertains to retirement or leaving a company they have co-developed. Haas, as a business coach and financial psychologist, has observed that retirement is frequently anticipated as a form of redemption.

Conversely, the question of what comes next often plunges many into a crisis of meaning. In the ongoing debate surrounding pension reforms, which also addresses the need for longer working periods, Haas perceives very similar reactions, akin to those he witnesses in his practice in Hannover. In an interview, the psychologist delves into the pitfalls of part-time work and why retirement necessitates more than just financial planning; freedom can be deceptive, and artificial intelligence (AI) is incapable of replacing humans.
