TAX DAY IS ALMOST HERE! If you’re still procrastinating on filing your taxes, tune in today to listen to our conversation with tax expert Bob Wheeler. You’ll learn a ton of last-minute tax tips that could save you from Uncle Sam’s wrath.
In today’s headline, we dive into a 44-year-old’s advice on how to build up enough “F.U.” money to retire early, and the potential rewards and dangers of early retirement. And, on the Haven Lifeline, we answer a question from The Basement about how safe your IRA is if the custodial institution goes under.
Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at StackingBenjamins.com/201.
