EP 124: This Little Known Risk of ER Docs Retiring "Early"

What does “retirement” really mean? We think it’s an overused buzzword that can mean so many things to so many people, but traditionally speaking, it refers to the age at which you stop working. On the surface this is a worthy pursuit; however, making this a focus or long-term goal may be jeopardizing more than you know.

In this episode we’ll discuss a risk everyone should be considering when thinking about retiring and hopefully shine light on why getting things together financially means so much more than “when am I going to stop working?”
