Here's a question. Is retiring early worth it? But I am so excited because I love that people ask us these kinds of questions.

These aren't like necessarily the deep analytical questions.

They're kind of the bigger picture, bigger idea questions and boy, do we have some thoughts? A matter of fact, we have some thoughts a matter of fact we have

thoughts on a lot of stuff so much so that we love that we can answer and add our

thoughts the things that you guys care about so right now we have the team out in

the wings collecting your questions and we would love

to load you up so with that creative director Ribi I'm gonna throw it over to you

you have thoughts we've got lots of good questions coming into the hopper so

keep them coming put him in the

chat but we're gonna kick it off with Tim's question about early retirement he says

I'm 42 and want to retire early at 45 I've stress tested my plan and everything looks okay. But I'm having a hard time

mentally stepping away from the job. I know I want to spend more time with my kids

before they leave the house. They're my why. So why is it so

hard for me to make the switch? So okay a lot of things going on there.

42 looks like he wants to retire early at 45.

You know, first I want to commend him.

He said he's done some stress testing.

So at least tested his plan to make sure.

Now, one of the things I'd really want to know

is I would imagine that even at

45 years old. I don't know how old his kids are, but there's still a lot of variables that have not

been solved for yet. There's still probably a lot of outstanding questions.
