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

Valentin Haas, a financial psychologist, encounters people daily who face significant life decisions and experience high levels of stress. Often, these discussions revolve around retirement or leaving a company they helped build. Haas has observed that retirement is frequently anticipated as a form of salvation. However, the question of what comes next often plunges many into a crisis of meaning.

In the ongoing debate about pension reforms, which also entails the necessity for people to work longer, Haas encounters similar reactions in his practice in Hannover. During an interview, he discusses the pitfalls of part-time work and explains why retirement is not just a matter of financial planning; freedom can often be deceptive, and why artificial intelligence (AI) cannot replace humans.
