Episode 3713:

Scaling back on work hours can be a life-changing decision, not just for early retirees but for anyone valuing quality of life now over maximum future wealth. Leif shares how personal tragedy reshaped his priorities, leading to intentional schedule changes that created precious family memories even at the cost of slightly delaying financial independence. His story makes a compelling case that time spent with loved ones today can be worth far more than an earlier retirement date.

Quotes to ponder:

"Money later in life cannot buy back the time you spend today."

"The time home with my daughters and Lauren was truly a special time, even though it was caused by a tragedy."

"This is not our first time implementing the 'work less strategy,' and it has been great every time."
