4 Signs You're Already Ready to Retire
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many CRNAs and nurse practitioners are already financially ready to retire… they just don’t know it. And yet, they keep working three, five, sometimes ten years longer than they need to. Not because they have to, but because no one has shown them clearly that they’re okay to stop.
In this episode, Brett Fellows CFP® discusses four specific financial markers that show retirement readiness.
Brett covers:
- Sign 1: Your portfolio can cover your income gap at a safe withdrawal rate, even if the market doesn’t cooperate.
- Sign 2: Your tax-deferred accounts are large enough that you’d benefit from starting Roth conversions now.
- Sign 3: You have, or can build, two years of living expenses in cash or short-term bonds outside of equities.
- Sign 4: Your plan still works under the widow’s penalty scenario, when one spouse is gone.
If two or three of these apply to you, you may not be years away from retirement. You may already be there.
