Is retiring early really the dream or is there more to the story? In this episode, Ben and Megan Smith unpack the idea of early retirement and why it’s not as simple as following a checklist. The conversation explores the importance of stress-testing your income, defining your purpose, and understanding what you’re actually retiring to, not just from. They also highlight the balance between enjoying life today and planning for tomorrow, along with the role of meaningful work, community, and lifestyle choices. It’s a thoughtful look at how retirement is less about timing and more about creating a life that feels fulfilling at every stage.
