I am 29 years old and I love retirement planning.

That is weird.

I am the first person to recognize that.

I love retirement planning for many of the reasons.

I love soccer.

I am not tall.

I'm 5 foot 5.

I'm not fast and I'm not that strong despite me doing everything I can to put myself in the best

position possible.

There's only so much I can do.

But soccer is about decision making. And this is a magical sport to me because you can be very slow. You don't have to be

tall and you can be very impactful on the field. I ended up playing college soccer. So why am I

connecting this to retirement planning? I find retirement planning is very much just high level decision making.

And there are instances where I will go to someone and say,

would you rather keep working?

I don't sound like you would, but confirm with me.

Would you rather keep working?

But if you do keep working, you will be able to spend $10,000 a month after taxes adjusted for inflation for the rest of your life,

assuming we manage your health care subsidy in the following way, we do this tax strategy, you set up this estate plan,

or would you rather stop working and start spending $6,500 per month right now?

What would you prefer?

And I find most people don't just hit me with, yes, this is the answer.
