"The last untouched year is the greatest potential for growth from compound interest. So when you delay retirement by a year, that’s the year you’re sacrificing. You’re not sacrificing the first year; you’re always sacrificing the last year. And the last year is always potentially the biggest year." — Mark Hansen Connect with Mark Hansen: Website: https://www.second-comma.com/Email: mark@second-comma.comShow: The Quiet Part Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-quiet-part/id1733096383LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/second-comma/Twitter: https://x.com/Second__CommaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/secondcommaGet a free copy of Shawn’s book “The Priority of Retirement” here- https://www.retirewisepro.com/the-priority-of-retirementContact Shawn:Website- https://www.retirewisepro.com/YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiIMGdosN-snkV5gFt7FRSgLinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-maloney-retire-wiseInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/retirewise_llc/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/ShawnMaloney.RetirementPlanning/Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
