Step 2 Office workers around age 55 have no source of candid information about what post-Retirement life is really like

Problem

Office workers aged 53-58 are 2-5 years from Retirement but have no source of candid, real-life information about what post-Retirement life is actually like. YouTube focuses on success stories, and people they know who've retired won't share honestly due to pride. They desperately need practical insights like 'Six months after retiring, my health insurance jumped to KRW 380,000/month (~$285/month) and I was shocked' or 'If you do nothing, depression hits within 3 months' — but there's no place that systematically collects this kind of content.

Solution

Select your industry, job level, and years since Retirement on the web, then read anonymous experience stories from retirees with similar backgrounds in a structured format (income changes / health insurance costs / daily routine / mental health / regrets / things done right). Contributors write their stories in under 15 minutes using a structured template, and readers can filter by 'people like me' to find stories matching their own situation.

Target: Office workers aged 53-58 at large corporations or mid-sized companies, 2-5 years before Retirement, planning post-Retirement life in detail with their spouse
Revenue Model: Free web service (3 stories/day). Premium (KRW 4,900/month, ~$3.70/month): unlimited reading, anonymous Q&A with contributors. Retirement planning consultancy advertising.
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
