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.

Welcome back to the early retirement podcast, and today we are going to be going through

a listener question that was submitted by

Chad which I'm going to read in just a moment but please know that as I'm working through

this listener question there's a few resources I want you to be aware of number one in the

description of today's episode you are going to see what what I call important numbers of

2023 which is really just

your cheat sheet of a tax table for 2023, what you can expect tax rates to be and really how

you can use that to plan. But I'm going to be using that when I work through today's listener

question. I don't want you going, where is already getting those numbers from?

And what is you referencing when he says that? And so I want to make sure that you have access to

that. So I'm going to put that in the description. I'm also going to be using a tool called

portfolio visualizer. That's nothing that you need to be aware of. No buttons you have to click.

Of course, it's a podcast episode,

but in case you're wondering, okay, what is he using to get these numbers or what does this mean? That's a tool that we use. It's one of the softwares that we like to utilize at our firm

where it helps us look at portfolios and build portfolios and backtest portfolios.

And it's just a really helpful tool. So I'm going to be using those in today's episode, but before I hop into the listener

question, want to give a big thank you as more people are tuning into the show, which means

more people are sharing the show.

And all I ask is that if it has been helpful, please do rate the show that helps more people
