Is working longer really worth it?

In this episode, I break down 3 retirement stats and insights that could completely change the way you think about work, wealth, and health in retirement. If you're planning for early retirement, these numbers might just shift your whole retirement strategy.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Why 63.9 years is a critical number for your retirement health

• How the average person works 90,000 hours in their lifetime and reclaiming some of that time

• What research says about retirees who never spend their savings

If you're in your 40s, 50s, or early 60s, and you're serious about retirement planning, this video is for you.
