We’ll unveil the common foes you’ll face on the journey. And good news, no muskets required for these battles!

Tune in as Liz explains the importance of being financially prepared so that you can make decisions based on choice rather than obligation in retirement. We’ll discuss having flexibility with long-term care and living decisions, good and bad debt in retirement, the importance of a spending plan, and much more. Discover how you can become a retirement rebel and retire without financial worries!
