Unspoken Truth about Retirement

Words of wisdom from my favorite financial guru MJ DeMarco.

Unspoken Truth

You’ll likely end up dead before you can enjoy the fruit of retirement.

The average life expectancy is about 77 years old.  That means, nearly half of us won’t be around to see our 60’s or 70’s.  Those of us who do survive will suffer from old age — retirement won’t harbor such wild adventures like climbing Machu Picchu, skiing the black slopes, or running the bulls in Spain.

And yet, have you subscribed to the “deferred enjoyment” plan where youthful freedom is sacrificed for elderly freedom?  Retirement should be a time of fun and leisure and yet, many never enjoy it simply because the plan takes decades to work.  You need to do an exorcism on your financial plan and remove hope and time as the lynchpin and replace it with control and leverage — doing so makes retirement at any age possible.

The answer?  Do what the gurus do, not what they teach.

The above is just one of hundreds of wealth creating strategies you’ll find in The Millionaire Fastlane.  Again, don’t take my word for it – read what everyone is saying unsolicited!
