In this episode of Money, Taxes & Freedom, Bryan and Shane Hopkins unpack what that number really means and why it looks different for every household. They explore the impact of inflation, healthcare costs, lifestyle expectations, and the growing gap between earnings and retirement needs. The conversation also highlights practical habits for younger generations, the power of starting early, and why thoughtful planning creates flexibility and choice as goals—and life—evolve.
