You might be able to retire sooner than you think. Now, that's exactly why I love financial planning.

What if you could retire earlier and spend more and still be okay? Would you keep working? Some

people go, yes, but that would be helpful to know. Other people go, no, the reality is, Ari, I am going

to stop working. And as soon as financially, that is the case, I am done. Either way, it's okay, but my goal today is to show you, okay, when are you in a position to retire early? That's kind of part one. Part two is what are the reasons to retire early? If you are thinking through it, what are the benefits to that? Because as you've been saving and investing for a long time, at this point,

it's time to start thinking through when can you enjoy the fruits of your labor? So we're going to

be talking about that today. Please know I do all of this and more on my YouTube channel,

and you can see that, just look up early retirement and you will see it there. Additionally,

personally, if you don't love what you do, you know financially when you no longer need to.

That's the financial aspect to the why I do this podcast, if you will't love what you do, you know financially when you no longer need to. That's the financial

aspect to the why I do this podcast, if you will. Now, I've got several more years to go myself,

but a traditional retirement is not something I'm really ever interested in because I love what I

get to do. And as long as I love what I get to do, I'm going to keep doing it. However, I do

not everyone loves what

they do. And here's how I know that. I have that e-book and I put out an episode a few weeks ago where I

talked about what are the different reasons that you're excited to retire. And people told me,

I don't want to commute anymore. I don't want to wake up early. I want to make sure that I'm

on my schedule, not my boss's schedule. All of these different

things are things that you guys have told me. I don't take that lightly when you do share that with

me. So I want to come back and feed it back to you guys with some helpful tips. So tip number one,
