## Resource

Can you retire early with private equity, direct indexing, and a mega backdoor Roth? In this episode of Money Matters, Scott and Pat help one investor weigh big decisions—from helping adult children buy homes to managing portfolio risk—before an aggressive retirement. Then, they follow up with a high-income saver who put their "mega backdoor" advice into action and is now looking at direct indexing for better tax efficiency. From choosing the right advisor to making smarter investment moves, early retirement planning means getting the details right. Because a secure retirement isn’t just about how much you’ve saved—it’s what you do next.
