Thank you! Thank you!

Now these guys are talking my speed. One size doesn’t fit all. This is the most comprehensive podcast I have ever listened to. They are very informative, and helps in planning. I’m learning so much!! I just can’t thank them enough for their expertise.

I love their approach to retirement planning

Jim and Chris have a truly amazing approach to retirement planning. Instead of the typical standard withdrawal rate, they’ve come up with an approach to identify the portion of your assets you can spend on FUN in retirement. You can decide if you want to spend it early in retirement, when you’re still healthy, or save it longer and risk letting someone else spend it for you!
