Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

Special edition episode in which Andy shares his views on whether the below 12 rules of thumb are accurate or not: You should always contribute at least enough to your employer plan (like a 401(k)) to get the full employer match You shouldn't help your kids pay for college if it means shorting your own financial security in retirement You need at least $X million (where $X can be whatever amount someone wants to say) of savings to retire In retirement, expect to need 80% of whatever your pre-retirement income was each year The 4% "rule" is a good tool for determining how much of a portfolio someone can distribution each year in retirement Your target stock allocation percentage should be 100 minus your age You should pay off your mortgage before retiring The rule of 72 is a good tool to tell how long it will take to double your investment You should have an emergency fund of cash equal to three to six months of expenses Permanent life insurance should be avoided; only use term life insurance The owner of a large investment advisory firm says, "I hate annuities and you should too" That same person also says of his firm, "we do better when you do better" To send Andy questions to be addressed on future Q&A episodes, email andy@andypanko.com Links in this episode: My podcast about the 4% "rule" - here My company newsletter - Retirement Planning Insights Facebook group - Retirement Planning Education (formerly Taxes in Retirement) YouTube channel - Retirement Planning Education (formerly Retirement Planning Demystified) Retirement Planning Education website - www.RetirementPlanningEducation.com…
