Rethinking How Much You Actually Need to Retire

It's no wonder, when you're constantly hearing you need $2 million or some other massive number to retire. For a lot of Aussies, that turns retirement into something they'd rather not think about. Today Nick walks through how to work out what enough actually looks like for you, and why once you do, most Aussies find they're already further along than they think. On this episode, we discuss: Intro Nick's "enough" framework for retirement Why most people start retirement wrong Picturing your ideal retirement Ask what makes you happy first What fills your day at 65?
