Nothing will mess with your financial confidence faster than comparing your savings to your brother, your coworkers, or that guy on YouTube who claims he retired at 35. Your retirement number isn’t a competition. Today, Lee talks about what really matters when you’re trying to figure out if you’re behind on your savings goals…and what to do if you actually are. Everyone’s financial story is different. Once you stop comparing and start planning, you’ll know exactly what steps to take next.
Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:
🔍 Comparison steals joy and creates unnecessary retirement stress
💰 Your retirement number is personal, not a competition
📉 Expenses, not savings, determine how much you truly need
📈 Comparing investment returns is misleading and unhelpful
🛠️ Focus on controllable actions like saving and budgeting
