Summary
Health insurance is keeping millions of Americans stuck in jobs they'd otherwise leave. In fact, 1 in 5 workers ages 50–64 say they're staying put because of their employer health coverage. And with recent changes to the ACA, that pressure is only growing. In this episode, I cover: → Why healthcare before Medicare has become a psychological roadblock to early retirement → Why the real cost of waiting until 65 may not be what you think → The options many people overlook and the tradeoffs worth understanding Because for most people, the healthcare challenge does have a solution. And the worst thing you can do is never explore your options at all. *** 📆 BOOK A CALL: Your retirement involves complex, interconnected decisions—taxes, income, healthcare, estate planning, investments.
