The Planning For Retirement Podcast

95: Can We Retire 5 Years Earlier? | Whiteboard Retirement Plan


Listen Later

PFR Nation,


Welcome to another “Whiteboard Retirement Plan” breakdown!

Scottie and Meredith had the perfect plan: retire at 65, sign up for Medicare, and start Social Security at 67. With nearly $1.9 million saved, everything looked like it was on track, until life threw them a curveball. After some friends their age got sick and passed away, they started asking: Why wait? Can we retire right now at 60?

In this Whiteboard Retirement Plan, Kevin Lao stress tests their plan to see if early retirement is really possible without jeopardizing their future.


You’ll hear:

  • How a five-year shift can dramatically impact retirement projections
  • The hidden risks of retiring before Medicare and Social Security kick in
  • Which levers (investment allocation, side hustle income, rental property, and more) can make early retirement realistic
  • The trade-offs between financial security and living life on your own timeline


If you’ve ever wondered whether you could retire earlier than planned without blowing up your financial security, this episode is for you.
