    Erin Axelrod: Reimagining Retirement

    What if we lived in a world where personal security didn't require vast individual savings?  Erin Axelrod (she/her) is a partner and worker-owner at LIFT Economy, where she accelerates ecological and justice-centered businesses. We talk about reimagining what retirement could mean and look like, including what Erin believes to be the 5 unsafe assumptions about retirement investing as it currently operates (here in the US) and some alternative ways we could measure wealth. We also discuss some of the fears that are currently holding us both back from living in full alignment with our values when it comes to saving, investing, and retirement.

    Cody Cook-Parrott - "I didn't do any taxes from 2015 until last year. Why? The money was there the whole time."

    Why do we avoid doing the things we know we need to do with our money? How does debt make you feel? How can you learn to save money when you were raised to believe that money is bad?

You can find Cody at codycookparrott.com *Note: Cody changed their name in early 2024 (they were formerly known as Marlee Grace) which is why there is a discrepancy between the updated episode title/description and the actual audio intro and conversation
