Many people look forward to retiring, often with dreams – or even plans – of days filled with leisure. But the reality is, after years of working or running a business, people need something to fill their time, replace the lost companionship, and provide a sense of fulfillment. And for people planning to retire early, often you need to bridge the lost income and benefits not available until full retirement age.

Brian Withers understands these things deeply, having walked away from a high-paying corporate job in his early 50s. In this episode, Jason and Jeff talk with Brian about his experiences making an early retirement possible, how he manages his investments, and maybe most importantly, how he figured out what he was retiring to when he left the corporate world.
