I just heard a caller ask if he could invest in Slow Money with his retirement fund and I heard an amazing non-answer full of financial gobbledygook in reply.
The question about retirement cut right to the heart of the issue - why would I ever choose to make less money when that money affects my well-being for the rest of my life? And the answer, albeit long-winded, answered with the Slow Money philosophy: You take a cut in money, but your community thrives. Is community not part of human well-being?
