(Best of 2018) Retire Early with Deacon Hayes

This week is the second of The Best of 2018 podcasts where I sat
down with Deacon Hayes about how to retire early.


Deacon was able to provide such great tips and tools for all
those looking to work towards that financial freedom that I felt
it had to be aired again as we approach the end of 2018. I’ve
highlighted below just a few of the great takeaways from the
episode but I also recommend heading back over to episode 56
where you will find more details on what Deacon and I discuss.


I hope you are able to take some of these tips and roll them into
your planning as you look forward to 2019! Enjoy!
