Rather than looking at money first, the author looks at motivation and breaks it into five broad categories: Category 1: I must keep working Category 2: I probably should keep working Category 3: I want to keep working Category 4: I\u2019m afraid to retire Category 5: I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m still working The author suggests borrowing from a concept by Artiste called "First Principles Thinking". Listen in for the answer. Also, our listener Maria asks about the timing of your first RMD (Required Minimum Distribution): "If we want to skip our 1st RMD and take two the following year, how does that work?"
