Learn how retirement really works before it's too late...Most so-called "experts" plug your numbers into a retirement formula to tell you how much money you need to retire. Unfortunately, the conventional approach is fundamentally flawed. If you fail to learn how retirement savings truly works, then you'll either underspend and be miserable or overspend and run out of money.

Tresidder has helped thousands of people find financial freedom through his website and podcast. Now you too can use his advice to take the guesswork out of your retirement planning.

The five critical assumptions that can destroy your financial security

How to reduce the amount you need to retire by as much as $600,000

Three strategies to maximize spending today while protecting for the future

How to calculate the amount of money you really need to retire on the first try without software, online calculators, or being a math genius
