Thinking about early retirement? In this episode of the Retirement Matters Podcast, we break down the biggest mistakes people make when planning for retirement- especially the dangerous habit of trying to time the market.

Using a comical (and painful) first-and-last skiing experience, we draw parallels between skiing without a plan and retiring without one. We explain why building a retirement plan is far more important than chasing market performance, and we introduce a critical retirement planning tool everyone should understand before retiring early.

If you're focused on financial independence, early retirement planning, or avoiding costly retirement mistakes, this episode is a must-watch.

Topics covered:

• Early retirement planning essentials

• Why timing the market can derail your retirement

• The importance of having a strategy- not just investments

• Common mistakes retirees make (and how to avoid them)

• A key retirement tool you need to know

The Retirement Matters Podcast helps you plan smarter so your retirement isn't left to chance.
