Episode 92 - What Really Makes Us Wealthy Money, Community and Life After 50

What does it truly mean to be wealthy and how can we build a meaningful life beyond work, money and traditional retirement?

In this episode of What Happens Next, host Chris Daems speaks with Gavin Dixon, leader of King's Church and King's Money Advice Centre (KMAC), about financial wellbeing, community, purpose and the transitions we face in our 50s, 60s and beyond.

Gavin shares powerful insights from his work supporting vulnerable people struggling with debt, financial abuse, mental health challenges and major life changes. He explains why debt is often accompanied by shame and isolation, how compassionate financial advice can transform lives, and why removing financial worry can be a form of wealth in itself.

Chris and Gavin also explore the dangers of the traditional "learn, earn and stop" retirement model. They discuss how purpose, faith, friendship, service and strong relationships can help us create fulfilling lives long before retirement arrives.

You'll hear moving real-life stories of people escaping overwhelming debt, rebuilding their confidence and discovering that wealth is about far more than the money in your bank account.
