About this episode

Leaving the workforce early can give you more time to travel, relax, and enjoy life, but it can also introduce some major financial risks that are easy to overlook. In this interview, @Peter with @richonPlanning and @erinkennedy break down the 5 biggest risks of retiring early, including: πŸ’° Claiming Social Security too soon πŸ“‰ Making your nest egg last longer πŸ₯ Bridging the healthcare gap before Medicare πŸ“ˆ Giving up valuable years of saving and investment growth 🧾 Creating a smart tax and income strategy And we have a BONUS risk: 😴 Boredom! Believe it or not, some early retirees eventually find themselves missing the purpose and structure that work provided. The goal isn't simply to retire earlyβ€”it's to make sure you're financially prepared to stay retired.
