 Here's your Jill on Money question of the day. Tim from Boston asks, I'm 55 and I'm considering retiring early, maybe as early as next year at age 56. Should I cut back on my 401k contributions now and redirect into my pretty hefty brokerage account? Now I'm considering how I will bridge the gap between, say, age 56 and 59 and a half. Tim, I am with you. If this is the plan, then yes, let's build up those taxable assets.
