Description

Retire Young-ish is the money podcast for Millennials and Gen Z who want freedom, not just finances. We break down investing, saving, side hustles, and the FIRE movement without the boring jargon. Whether you dream of retiring early, working less, or just living life on your own terms, this show gives you real strategies, honest conversations, and a few laughs along the way. Because who says planning for retirement has to wait until you’re old?
