Is Retiring Early Really Worth It?

BRIAN PRESTON AND BO HANSON
About this episode

"I'm 42 and want to retire early at 45. I’ve stress-tested my plan and everything looks okay, but I’m having a hard time mentally stepping away from the job. I know I want to spend more time with my kids (they’re my ‘why’).So why is it so hard to make the switch?" 

We'll walk you through that question and more in today's Q&A episode!
