On this episode of The Dentist Money Show, Matt, Jake, and Will dive into what it really means for dentists to be retirement ready and why it's about much more than hitting a savings number. They explore why many dentists retire later than the average American, how spending habits can delay financial independence, and why starting the planning process early is critical for long-term success. Tune in to learn how balancing clear financial systems with meaningful relationships, hobbies, and a gradual transition out of work can help dentists build a retirement they're truly prepared for and excited about.
