    When was the last time you felt truly in control of your time? Not your calendar, not your to-do list…your time? If the answer is "I can't remember," this episode is for you. Jean Chatzy is joined by Andy Hill, AFC, founder of Marriage, Kids, and Money, and author of Own Your Time: 10 Financial Steps to Put Your Family First and Escape the Corporate Grind. Together, they tackle your most pressing mailbag questions about the real tension so many of us are feeling right now: how do you balance saving aggressively for the future with actually enjoying your life today? In this episode: A 41-year-old high earner with nearly $800K in savings wants to know what to do with extra money beyond maxing out her accounts and whether she's really as "behind" as the calculators say. A 54-year-old asks whether her financial advisor is right that fully funding her 401 (k) won't make much difference. And Julie, 52, is stretched thin between her career and caring for her aging mom, and wonders: Is it financially irresponsible to step back during her peak earning years? Andy also shares how he and his wife hit their Coast FIRE number, redesigned their lives around a 20-hour workweek, and what the first move looks like if you want to do the same.
