The Faster 26.26.2 has a question for you.

Apparently his real name is Brian though.

He says fellow Brian here.

So, hi Brian.

Hmm?

With a Y.

Different kind of Brian.

Anyway, he says, Wife and I are debt free, plus our home, and are looking to retire early in 15 years.

Are there any options besides a high-yield savings account to bridge between ages 52 to 59 and a half?

Yes.

I mean, that's kind of a loaded question. I want to, you know, because, by what, you can get to retirement accounts if you annuitize them.

There are options, there are, and certainly between 52 and 59 and a half.

I mean, even if you work for a normal employer

and you have a 401k, but you retire in the year that you turn 55,

you can still access those dollars. here's what I think his question really is or this is where I think the question really is coming in

I have my money a high-yield savings account is that really the only option or is there something else

I'll be doing to build a bridge account I think that's really the crux of it like I just

my money sitting in cash it seems like I'm wasting it I'm not I'm not letting it do

anything for me might there be something else if retirement

15 years away but it's going to be before I hit 55 or 59 a half where should I

park some dollars to go to work for me I mean I feel like we haven't done it enough in this Q&A session,

so I'll use this as the opportunity to talk about the financial order of operations.
