What does it take to have a truly happy retirement? Is it money? An active social life? A long-lasting marriage - or maybe a new one? Finance expert, author, and radio host Wes Moss asked more than 2,000 of the nation's happiest retirees to find out - and their answers may surprise you. Through a series of revealing surveys, Moss noticed a pattern of distinct, recognizable habits that the happiest retirees shared, from the simplest of lifestyle choices to the smartest of financial strategies. These are the kinds of habits anyone can develop - the perfect road map to a healthy, secure, and joyful retirement - sooner.
Whether you're already retired or just starting to make plans, these 10 simple actions and attitudes can make a profound difference in every aspect of your life. The book is packed with hard-won wisdom and invaluable advice on how to make little changes now that will have the biggest impact later. It's filled with proven ways to develop smarter habits with:
- Money (“Think river, not reservoir.”)
- Family (“Get your kids off your payroll.”)
- Housing (“Live mortgage-free.”)
- Investing (“Be a tomorrow investor.”)
- Spending (“Be pound wise - so you can be penny foolish.”)
- And much more
With these 10 transformational habits, you can stop obsessing over money, stay socially connected, and start enjoying your new life - as the happiest retiree on the block.

That said Wes uses phrases like “the numbers don’t lie” and talks about his survey research with way more authority than I think is warranted. There is a LOT of portraying correlation as a causation. Sometimes it’s very obvious but Wes seems to portray his *interpretation* as “what the data says”. This wouldn’t be so bad if the analysis wasn’t so naive. If you’re looking for nuance, you’re not gonna find it here.
I also found his financial advice somewhat cavalier for true early retirees- using models that are 30 year models that wouldn’t apply well to those truly retiring extra early- in their 40s and 50s. I would recommend the online ERN series for a deep analysis and an eye opening why Wes’s approach here is very naive/cavalier in those circumstances. That said, his advice is probably fine for those at the official retirement age or close.
Overall, I’m a bit disappointed given the emphasis on “research”. There’s no clear methodology, and very simplistic analysis. It also mostly just looks like compiled survey data largely from his clients- so it’s also a skewed group. As I said- I still recommend the book though for the emphasis on happiness, which is something I think a lot of us miss.
Lots of correlations assumed to be causation
