Is Retiring Early Really Worth It?
Hey everyone, I'm Lena Banks – a Certified Financial Planning professional and small business coach based in Austin, TX. Welcome back to Financial Therapy!
This week's episode is about the Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement--and what it takes to make it happen. A recent article in The Cut-- "She Retired at 35. The Only Problem? It's Lonely."--discusses what it looks like when you actually achieve the goal of retiring early...and it may not be as fulfilling as we tend to imagine.
So today we're back with guest Sapna Patel Duchesne to consider why retiring early is so appealing, and what we're really looking for when we talk about "financial independence".
As always, the goal in Financial Therapy is to share perspectives and inspire mindfulness that can help us be more secure and confident in our financial decision-making, and have a greater sense of well-being overall.

Origin Story w/ Sapna Patel Duchesne
Hey everyone, I'm Lena Banks – a Certified Financial Planning professional and small business coach based in Austin, TX. Welcome to Financial Therapy! We're back with one of my favorite show formats: origin stories.
Today we'll ask our guest: What's your financial origin story? Were you taught financial literacy? Or did your caregivers rarely discuss money growing up? More often than not, we get our money mindsets passed down to us from our parents, or whoever was most responsible for making the financial decisions.
Whether you were scraping by, or had an abundance of wealth (or whether either is the case right now), those early influences affect how you now view money, how you choose to earn and spend it, and ultimately, your financial health and wellness.
