The number of workers who left their jobs last year broke records. By some estimates, nearly 40 million people quit their jobs in the US.

Today, we're speaking with someone who recently left their high-paying career and is now easing into early retirement.

Kristen is a former CPA, who retired early last year to spend more time with her family and pursue personal passions after 15+ years working long hours in a stressful career.

She shares how she was able to financially prepare for this change and what life looks like now in her early retirement.
