If you plan to punch the clock for the final time decades before "standard" retirement age, you need a financial strategy that goes beyond just saving. Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA spitball five different early retirement plans to see whose numbers are tight and who is ready to go for it, today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 571. George in South Carolina wants to retire in 8 years at 53. Does he have enough in his brokerage account to bridge the gap to Social Security? Joe in Massachusetts is saving a staggering $200,000 a year, but will his high-spending lifestyle make a multi-million dollar nest egg look small? The fellas help 26-year-old Jonathan in Florida map out a path to retire in his 40s using his 457 plan, and they spitball on whether early exit strategies for both Kris and Rojo in California are a "green light" or a reality check. Plus, Joe explains why the "Rule of 55" and Roth conversions might be some of the most important tools in your early retirement toolbox.
