Retire Happy: Build a Personalized Retirement Plan that You Can't Wait to Live Out

Monique aspired to retire early, and while she had faithfully saved throughout her working years, she wasn’t sure if she had enough to retire. After getting assurance from professionals, she took the plunge and quit working. Monique and James talk about the first two years of her retirement – how she’s been able to focus on her health and pursue some hobbies she didn’t have time for previously. Monique also shares some surprising challenges related to spending, travel, and family dynamics.
