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.

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the early retirement podcast.

Once again, I'm your host,

Ari Taublieb. And today, we're going to be talking about myths and not just telling you about them,

the three major myths to make sure that you don't even have to consider these in retirement and not
