A lot of people think they’ll work forever, until life changes the plan. In this special mailbag episode, Eric answers listener questions about retirement timing, backup planning, target date funds, and how to think about risk as retirement gets closer. Retirement confidence often comes less from having perfect investments and more from having a strategy that can adapt when life changes unexpectedly.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🐢 Jonathan the Tortoise: A surprisingly long perspective on life
⚠️ Early Retirement Reality: Many retire sooner than planned
🎯 Target Date Funds: Simpler doesn’t always mean better
📊 Risk & Allocation: Contributions and balances differ
🧭 Planning First: Investments should follow the plan
