In this episode of the Last Paycheck Podcast, CFP Professionals Rob Hoxton and Archie Hoxton explore what having $1 million actually means, how much retirement income it can generate, and why reaching that milestone doesn't necessarily mean you're financially ready to retire. Rob and Archie discuss how to build wealth through consistent saving, compound growth, and tax-efficient accounts like 401(k)s, Roth IRAs, and HSAs. They also explain why starting early matters, how taxes and lifestyle choices affect your progress, and why your retirement savings goal should be based on the life you want to live—not an arbitrary portfolio number.  Visit: http://www.thelastpaycheck.com    ☎️ Questions?
