What if you're already financially free and don't know it? This eye-opening conversation with Certified Financial Planner Anik Sharma reveals how dentists and business owners frequently work years longer than necessary, sacrificing precious time with family and pursuing passions.

Sharma introduces us to a revolutionary way of thinking about retirement—not as an age milestone, but as "the point at which you stop sacrificing the present for a future promise of being happy." Through compelling real-life examples, he shares how proper financial planning helped clients discover they could have retired five years earlier, leading to emotional revelations and immediate life changes.

At the heart of effective retirement planning lies a comprehensive cash flow strategy. Using the vivid "bucket analogy," Sharma breaks down how money flows through our lives and how we can gain clarity about our true financial position. Rather than fixating on arbitrary numbers like "a million-pound pension," he encourages listeners to focus on what that money actually enables in their lives.

The discussion challenges the conventional retirement mindset, highlighting how dental practice owners often become trapped in the "one more year" syndrome—continuously postponing happiness while building wealth they may never fully enjoy. Sharma emphasizes that "real wealth is about time, memories, relationships, and experiences," not just accumulated assets.

For practice owners, there's a crucial distinction between building business value and creating personal financial independence. Many dentists focus exclusively on the future practice exit while neglecting to systematically extract wealth along the way—a strategy that ensures financial freedom regardless of business performance.
