Welcome to the Stay Welfy Podcast. I'm your host, Taylor Schulte, and I want to take a quick moment to say happy New Year to everyone. I hope the holidays treated you well. I hope you enjoyed some downtime with friends and family. And I hope your 2024 is already off to a great start. I also want to say thank you for another fun and rewarding

year for the Stay wealthy retirement show. Thank you for listening to the podcast, for reaching out
