Here's your Money Briefing for Thursday, April 10th.
I'm Jacob Passi for The Wall Street Journal.
Do you dream of an early retirement?
Sure, the idea of limitless free time may sound appealing,
but exiting the workforce before the age of 65 can come with some serious drawbacks.
If you're taking money from your savings, from your 401k, or IRA,
or any form of savings, you're increasing the number of years that your nest egg has to support you.
We'll talk to WSJ reporter Ann Tergeson about the realities of retiring early after the break.
Most people picture retiring at age 65,
but the reality for some Americans is that their retirement years start a lot earlier.
And an early retirement comes with pretty significant consequences.
