A very warm welcome to the early retirement show, the show dedicated to helping you navigate

the nuances of an early retirement, a non-traditional retirement. Now let's get right into the

episode so we can learn how to retire early. A warm welcome back to the early retirement show. I am

your host, Ari Taublieb, and today's episode is one I've been waiting to record for a long time

because it is going to tell you how to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes. And I am so

ads on this. I want to make sure you are not interrupted throughout the process. My kind ask is that if

you don't mind, please do continue to rate and review the podcast. If you leave a helpful review,

it helps more people find the show and understand when they can retire early. And if you know by

now, you've been listening for a while, it's not an early retirement that I love. What I love is knowing when you no longer need to work, when you are in a position where work is now optional because financially you no longer need it. Now, of course, that's a different thing for different people, and we're going to be talking about that today. Now, let's hop
