🤔 Seventh Generation Thinking: A New Way to Plan for Retirement

What if retirement isn't about stopping work—it's about becoming an elder? 💭

Stephanie Cote (Anishinaabe, Ottawa, Pottawtomi and Ojibwe from the Grand Traverse Band) shares Indigenous traditions that provides a different perspective on how to think about financial planning for 2026 and beyond.

Seventh Generation Mindset:

  • What we do today impacts seven generations forward and honors seven generations back.

  • Saving isn't just for you—it's stewardship across time.

Retirement reimagined:

  • Not an ending, but a new phase of reciprocity.

  • Becoming a knowledge keeper, guide, and resource for your community.

What decisions are you making now to take care of your future elder self?
