In this episode we discuss early retirement and how retirement accounts like the IRA and 457 are great, but can't beat taxable accounts for flexibility, no contribution limits, and even the possibility of 0% capital gains tax in early retirement.

💰 Rachel shares her simple, effective three-fund portfolio strategy

📉 How she escaped a high-fee 403(b) vendor (saving nearly $1M!)

🚀 Why automating your investments is key to long-term success

🧠 How to mentally treat your taxable account as a retirement vehicle

🎯 Rachel offers a free "How to get out of a high fee vendor" and "Ticker symbol cheat sheet". You can find them in the show notes!
