Many early retirees forget to factor in their adult children when planning retirement. From weddings and tuition to ongoing support, the financial impact can be substantial—especially when you no longer have a paycheck coming in. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to plan for potential financial support, set healthy boundaries, and protect your own future—without guilt. Learn why planning ahead can be the difference between peace and pressure in retirement.

👇 Comment Below: Have you had to set boundaries with adult kids or struggled with it? I’d love to hear how you handled it!
