In this special Mailbag episode, we welcome back personal finance expert Dana Miranda, author of You Don’t Need a Budget, to tackle your most pressing money questions. From navigating early retirement goals to rebuilding credit post-divorce to whether or not you can justify your boutique Pilates membership, we’re getting real about money, self-care, and financial freedom.

Mailbag Questions:

01:00 “I’m 58, burnt out, and want to retire early; is $200k saved enough?”

07:00 “Should I use my 401(k) to pay off $70K in debt?”

13:00 “Can I afford to work part-time post-divorce, or do I need to look for a full-time job?”

20:00 “I make $180k and have 2 kids, is $200 a month too much for a gym membership?”
