Welcome to the early retirement show. If you are a long time listener, thank you. And if you are new to the show, as a reminder, this show is dedicated to helping you retire early, otherwise known as the show dedicated to helping you understand what you have to do to be in a position where you are financially free, where work is now optional. So whether you are a few years out from retirement and you just want to know everything to prepare

for that big date or you're new in your journey and you want to get a head start on maximizing

what you've worked so hard for throughout your life, this is the show for you.

So we discuss everything from investments to

taxes to insurance and everything that comes in between. So without further ado, let's go ahead

and hop into today's episode. Welcome back to another episode of the early retirement podcast,

Now, I know people often use that word be mindful, be intentional, and sometimes it gets

overused, and I don't want it to take away from

the importance of the word, but just for example's sake, if you're putting 15% of your income

And you might be doing an amazing job, but it's really not fair for me to say that you

are doing an amazing job, and here's why. And that's not to discourage you. It's to be very
