Bri and Dr. Jay explore different life planning strategies based on relationship status, stress the importance of open communication between couples, and critique the traditional work-for-retirement mindset. They also introduce the FIRE movement and discuss aligning career aspirations with personal values.
Plus, they tackle the often-overlooked topic of legacy planning, urging you to envision the impact you want to leave behind.

Action items include:
- dreaming big about future goals,
- evaluating career alignment, and
- defining your personal legacy.

Tune in to rethink your priorities and take actionable steps toward a fulfilling life and financial future! 🚀✨
