What will we do at the event?
More money or more free time — what would you choose? Downshifting is about choosing balance over constant competition.
Let’s talk about whether it’s a smart move or a risky one.
📌 At the club, we will:
- discuss the terms 'rat race' and 'downshifting';
- talk about the advantages and disadvantages of downshifting;
- talk about early retirement;
- learn practical vocabulary related to work and lifestyle (e.g. up in the air, to opt out, to take a toll, etc.).
👉 Join to improve how you talk about personal values, work-life priorities, and long-term planning in English. Perfect for modern professionals and reflective learners.
