Welcome to Bigger Pocket's Money, show number 18.

Early retirees are so different than standard retirees when it comes to taxes especially.

Because if you think about it, like most people have income that just

gradually increases their entire career and then all of a sudden they're 65 and their

income drops and their spending hopefully maybe drops a little bit. But for early retirees we have this, you know, period of high income that's maybe 10 years, 20 years, whatever your career happens to be, and then you have a big drop in income and potentially

low expenses and low income for maybe 20 years before you even hit standard retirement age.

So I realized that all the standard advice about retirement accounts

really didn't apply to people who are pursuing financial independence or early retirement.

So that's where I started looking into first.

So...

It's time for a new American dream, one that doesn't involve working in a cubicle for 40 years,

barely scraping by.

Whether you're looking to get your financial house in order,

invest the money you already have,

or discover new paths for wealth creation,

you're in the right place.

This show is for anyone who has money or wants more. This is the

bigger pockets money podcast. How's it going everybody? I'm Scott Trench and I'm here with

my co-host, Miss Mindy Jensen. How are you doing today, Mindy?

Scott, I am doing really great and I am so excited for today's show.

As you know, I booked the guests for both the BiggerPockets Podcasts where we talk about real estate investing

and this BiggerPockets Money podcast where we talk about money.
