Retirement planning isn’t one-size-fits-all, and the question of “How much money do I REALLY need?” can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered!

In this episode of Early Retirement Roadmap, I’m diving deep into the essential factors that determine your retirement number, including:
