543: Finance Friday: How the “Middle-Class Trap” Stops Your Early Retirement

  • Resumen

  • You dream of retiring early, but you’re stuck in the “middle-class trap.” You’ve built up a solid net worth, maybe own a rental property or two, and on paper, you look like you’re on track to make it rich. But in reality, you don’t feel that way. With all your wealth tied up in home equity or retirement accounts, your “early” retirement may have to be pushed to the traditional age of sixty-five. So, how do you free up some of this wealth so you can start accessing it today to retire early tomorrow? This is the question Emily and Justin are struggling to answer. They’ve gone from nothing to a substantial net worth—$1,500,000!
