What if you’re already financially free – and don’t even realise it? In this powerful episode, Certified Financial Planner Anick Sharma reveals how dentists and business owners often work far longer than necessary, missing out on meaningful time with family, travel, and personal fulfilment.

Anick introduces a fresh perspective on retirement. It’s not about reaching a certain age, but about reaching the point where you no longer trade present happiness for future security. Through real-world client stories, he shares how tailored financial planning helped people discover they could retire five years earlier than expected, often prompting life-changing decisions.

Central to this approach is a clear and practical cash flow strategy. Anick uses the memorable “bucket analogy” to explain how money enters, fills, and flows through your life – showing how a million-pound pension isn’t the goal, but what that money enables is.

We explore why so many dental professionals fall into the “just one more year” trap – continuing to build business value while overlooking personal financial freedom. Anick shows how shifting focus to systematically extracting wealth can allow you to live with more freedom now, rather than waiting for an eventual practice sale.

If you’re wondering whether you could afford to work less, travel more, or retire early, this conversation offers clarity, inspiration, and practical steps to get there.

Listen now and rethink what retirement could look like – on your terms.
