Saving for retirement and having a nest egg for your later years is sound financial planning, but it is equally important to pay attention and invest in your self-worth. Emotional Economics explores what it means to be enough when we are no longer defined by what we do, but by who we are. Four beliefs, key to aging better and aging well are explored: I am enough, I have enough, there is enough, and I know what is good enough. In this presentation, Dr. Mary Flett will unpack these concepts from a gero-psycho-spiritual perspective, discussing the challenges of re-defining self in a culture that doesn’t value aging, offering insight into how to stretch resources in an era where the lifespan is extending, but services and capacity for care are limited, addressing the very real fears of poverty and being marginalized in old age, and discussing how to have the hard conversations about quality of life when dying is the focus of the conversation.
