Bandit and Chili in Atlanta are 39 with $4.7M already invested. They’re gunning for early retirement at 55, but they spend $470K a year. Will the money last? That’s today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 607 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA. Before we get to Bluey’s folks, we have a couple home and mortgage questions: David Larry in Michigan wants to retire in 2 years at 64, and he's planning to sell a condo and build a $1.5M dream home. Do his finances and retirement planning look good, and is he crazy to try to pull this off? And Leon in Chicago threw half a million dollars extra at his mortgage, but now he’s wondering if a mortgage recast would help him free up cash flow and maybe work less someday.
