“Do I have enough to retire?”

It’s the question every business owner eventually asks—but most never answer. In this episode, Hunt breaks down why your retirement isn’t about hitting a number… it’s about building a life you don’t need to escape from.

What You'll Learn:

• Why there’s no universal retirement number (and what to focus on instead)
• The simple formula to estimate how much you really need
• How Social Security, real estate, and your business really factor in
• The danger of carrying debt into retirement
• What the book Die With Zero teaches us about using our time and money wisely
