Episode notes

Are you a late starter who wants to reach retirement (or early retirement)? Then we’ve got just what you need! We’re back with Bill Yount and Jackie Cummings Koski from the Catching Up to FI podcast as we share how to invest for retirement as a “late starter.” Did you know there are some serious advantages to investing later in life? Some of these advantages are so secret that even our hosts didn’t know about them! But today, we’re sharing them with you so you can achieve financial freedom on your terms!

From top to bottom, we’re sharing everything you need to retire sooner—from the best retirement accounts to debating 401(k)s vs. Roth IRAs vs. HSAs and more! Worried about healthcare if you retire before you turn sixty-five? DO NOT put your retirement plans on pause because of this! With some smart healthcare saving and investing, you won’t have to worry about visits to the doctor’s office!

But before you start investing, we need to get your spending in check. Bill shares how he went from paycheck to paycheck to exploding his savings rate by “downsizing” his spending, which makes reaching financial independence even easier! If you’re ready to retire, stick with us and follow these steps to a tee if you want to be financially free!
