Most of us are aware of traditionally retiring in our 60s or 70s and what life might be like when we’re old and gray.
But what if you could add another 20-30 years on that retirement timeframe? And have your spouse retire along with you?
Well, that’s what we’re going to discuss today and the person who’s going to help us with that discussion is Maggie Tucker.
Maggie recently gave notice at her job and will be moving into early retirement this spring. We’re going to learn more about that decision, how she prepared, and some advice for others interested in early retirement.
