Retirement isn’t the end: Choosing the next chapter of life | Amit Kaushik | TEDxHawkesbury

Retirement has long been seen as a time to slow down — but in a longer, healthier world, that definition no longer fits. This talk explores how rethinking a single word can transform the next chapter of life into a chosen stage of purpose, flexibility, and contribution, where experience and wisdom are not retired, but redirected into lasting impact. Amit brings over 25 years of experience in IT and finance, having delivered complex solutions across industries. Beyond his career, he is deeply committed to financial literacy as a life skill. Through mentoring and educational efforts, he helps people use money with confidence, clarity, and purpose, turning financial knowledge into real-world impact. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
