More and more Americans are asking a game-changing question: What if I don’t want to wait until 65 to retire? In today`s episode of Make It Personal, we tackle the bold and often misunderstood concept of early retirement, not as an escape, but as a purposeful pivot toward “time freedom.”

What happens when retirement comes earlier than expected, whether by choice or circumstance? Mark Zagurski dives into Play #5 from The Game of the Decade e-book. You’ll learn how to rethink your retirement timeline, explore strategies for tapping into retirement funds early without penalties, and discover how part-time work could be the secret weapon to living the retirement life you truly want.

Whether you're exploring FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early), intrigued by flexible withdrawal strategies like the Rule of 55 or IRS Section 72(t), or simply wondering how you’ll fill your time post-career, this episode delivers clear insights and practical tools to build a retirement plan that’s actually yours.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why 6 in 10 people retire earlier than expected, and how to plan for it

    How to use the Rule of 55 and Section 72(t) for early, penalty-free withdrawals

  • The surprising math behind part-time income and retirement savings

    What “Barista FIRE” really means, and why it’s more achievable than you think

    Why personal finance strategies like permanent life insurance can fuel your pivot to freedom

    “Early retirement isn’t just for the lucky or the ultra-wealthy, it’s possible with the right plan.”
