- 7:57retirement.
- 7:59Start
- 7:59by
- 8:00focusing
- 8:00on
- 8:00your
- 8:01identity.
- 8:02The
- 8:02numbers
- 8:02will
- 8:03make
- 8:03sense.
- 8:03You'll
- 8:03make
- 8:03sense
- 8:04of
- 8:04the
- 8:04numbers.
- 8:04Guess

- 8:06That's
- 8:07a
- 8:07simple
- 8:07truth.
- 8:08If
- 8:08it
- 8:08means
- 8:08you've
- 8:09got
- 8:09to
- 8:09work
- 8:09a
- 8:09little
- 8:09longer,

- 8:10it
- 8:10means
- 8:10maybe
- 8:11you've
- 8:11got
- 8:11to
- 8:11pick
- 8:11up
- 8:11a
- 8:11second

- 8:13job
- 8:13in
- 8:13retirement,
- 8:14that's
- 8:15great.
- 8:15But
- 8:15what
- 8:15really
- 8:16matters?
- 8:17What
- 8:17really
- 8:17matters?
- 8:18What
- 8:18I
- 8:18see

- 8:25in
- 8:25that,
- 8:25but
- 8:26it's
- 8:26not
- 8:26the
- 8:26goal.
- 8:27So

- 8:27people
- 8:27have
- 8:27lost
- 8:28sight
- 8:28of
- 8:28this.
