Can You Create A "Perfect Retirement Plan"?
Guest: Don Barden
​
I'll have to admit, when I first heard of Don Barden and his "Perfect Plan" I was pretty skeptical. What does "perfect" mean? Who judges "perfect"? My analytical mind was going crazy. However, as I became more familiar with Don and the concepts and elements he believes in, I felt it definitely made sense to bring him onto the podcast. My hope is that you will take away a few kernels of knowledge to help you rethink what retirement means along some motivation and inspiration!
