015: When Can I Retire?

Retirement Equals Freedom

Live from the FSR Wealth Strategies podcast studio in the heart of Elmhurst, Illinois, it’s another episode of The Retirement = Freedom and for the very first time … featuring Host Josh Bretl drinking Cometeer Coffee's flavorful La Esperanza roast. Guess what? He likes it. He really, really likes it! You also won’t want to miss Co-Host Dave Schmidt’s introduction to the podcast’s newest segment: Get to know Josh and Dave. (The jingle is still under construction.) After a quick detour into arcade games, this dynamic duo takes on the biggest of the big questions: When can I retire? There’s no one answer, but this episode offers advice on how to get started figuring it out. The calculus must take into consideration questions like: What will be your purpose? You may have the freedom, but do you have the means? The trick is to get into a mindset that takes what you desire in your fondest dreams and marries it with financial reality. What it will take to get there? That equation will be different for every one of us, which is why it pays to start considering what it all will look like in the future … now! Enjoy this thoroughly caffeinated tour through the minds of our co-hosts, ranging from action figures to ramen noodles to vanity license plates that the Department of Motor Vehicles for the state of Illinois may or may not be willing to grant!

What’s on your vanity license plate – real or imagined? Josh and Dave want to know! Share your favorites on our new private Facebook group, which you can find here.
