About this episode
In this episode: the 4% rule, second generation FI, retirement saving, 529's, 401k's, and is it too late for FI? This week we joined by Rachael Camp of Camp Wealth for another installment of Mail Bag, where we will be answering some questions sent in by our listeners. Together, we cover topics surrounding the 4 percent rule, starting the FI journey "late", the importance of tax diversity in your retirement accounts, and the potential benefits and drawbacks to 529 plans. On the path to FI, the community this journey brings can be the best resource, and answering any questions you may have is our way to ensure you're well on your way to FI, as well as help others in the community who may be navigating similar scenarios!
