The podcast series ‘Take a Break’ has now spawned several ‘How to Retire’ episodes. Tips for those planning to take a full break from episodes. In Take a Break, the podcast features someone in each episode about the long break they’ve taken or are about to take. And how it often turned out to be a ‘life-changing’ experience.

The seven ‘Retirement’ chapters are more practical in nature. For example about:

  • How Much Do You Need for Intermediate Retirement?

  • How a break can save money or make money.

  • How to decide where to go on a day off

  • How to handle this with school age children?

  • Smart Savings Tips (with guest Robin Seids from the DeSparPodcast).

  • How to organize it with your work, home and budget.

  • Investing to get your budget together (with guest Martijn Rozemuller from VanEck ETFs).

  • Making short work of the bears on the road.

A break, podcast Launched last summer, it has now completed its first season of ten episodes. With over ten thousand ‘plays’, the podcast seems to fill a need. The varied stories of the guests will be infectious for those looking to take a long break. For example, actress and blogger Lieke Pijnappels says she temporarily left her acting career for a solo trip to Australia, Cosmas Blaauw shares his story of running a start-up with his wife and teenagers through New Zealand, and Jojanneke Vellecoop. She and her boyfriend have been traveling the world for a year and have never crossed the North Sea before.

The regular hosts are Luuk Roks (30), entrepreneur and father of two who wants to take a long retirement, and Sjaak Zonneveld (56), an expert in experience who has already taken an interim pension four times (and coined the term. ) and wrote a book about it.

The podcast is an initiative of BrightPensioen and Geuren en Kleur Media, which is also responsible for the production. BrightPensioen has been a transitional pension promoter since its inception. Because taking breaks in between gives you tons of energy. And you’ll keep working (until you’re really tired) and have a lot of fun.
