    Episode 6 - The Money Talk

    This episode is all about the money. We talk about the short and long-term financial impacts of taking margin years, surprising emotions around money, as well as break down our first gap year budget.  In addition, Russ created a spreadsheet where you can enter in your own information and see how your retirement age may be impacted (friendly warning it is much more complex than anticipated).
