How much money do you really need to retire as a CRNA? If you've got savings but still feel uncertain about when you can safely stop working, this episode is for you.

Brett explores:

• The three retirement spending levels every CRNA needs to understand (survival, comfortable, and premium)
• Why retiring at 55 versus 65 can mean a $1.75 million difference in required savings
• The asset location strategy that could save you $300,000 in retirement costs
• The healthcare gap problem and how to bridge the 10 years before Medicare
• The Rule of 55 versus the 59½ penalty wall
• A systematic approach to calculate your true spending needs and portfolio requirements
• The tax trap of massive Required Minimum Distributions and how to avoid it
• Tax-diversified withdrawal strategies including the 0% capital gains bracket
• Realistic retirement ranges for CRNAs at different spending levels

Whether you're sitting on $800,000 or $2.1 million, you'll see why the amount you've saved might not be the real issue and what you should focus on instead.
