Making it Playful - UI Design

You might be pretty curious about how much you've grown as a designer in recent years. This here is a redesign of an interface I designed about 7 years ago, simply out of curiosity: would I make different choices? Would it look better?

Unfortunately, I can't show the original design due to legal issues, but here's a brief rationale behind the design:

It's for a retirement brand. The goal is to make people think about their retirement when they're still young. How? By letting them know if they can maintain their current lifestyle after they have retired.

The overall look and feel is very playful and fun. This way, we address a younger, more modern target audience, while also making a typically boring topic much more enjoyable and playful to think about.
