192: Darren Wurz | The Lawyer Millionaire
When you own your business, saving for retirement often takes a backseat to put money into the practice you’re trying to make successful. Many people even take money from their retirement accounts to fund their life transitions or businesses. The truth is the earlier you plan for retirement, the better it can be. Waiting until your 40s (or later) to think about it can be detrimental to your future goals.
In this episode of Wealthy Woman Lawyer®, Davina welcomes guest Darren Wurz to deep dive into the topic of investing and retirement for lawyers. Darren is a fee-only financial advisor and co-owner of his family’s business, Wurz Financial Services. He is a Certified Financial Planner with a master’s degree in financial planning from Golden Gate University. Darren is also a podcast host and author of The Lawyer Millionaire and specializes in helping attorneys meet their financial goals.
