Listen Later

Major financial transitions don't have to be binary choices – testing your assumptions before making big moves can prevent costly mistakes and regrets. In this episode, Nick and Scott talk about test-driving potential life transitions to help guide your decisions. 

• Looking at buying a home? Try setting aside the difference between rent and projected homeownership costs

• Practice living on expected retirement income while still employed

• Try extended stays in potential retirement locations during different seasons

Break down big transitions into small, actionable steps, and remember that major life goals often involve both financial and lifestyle adjustments.
