You Will Never Be The Same After Learning This Fact About Money

One fact about money changes everything once you see the numbers for yourself. The traditional path says work until sixty five, save in a 401k, invest in the stock market, and retire safely. But the math proves it is a trap.

The average American family makes eighty thousand a year. That leaves about two hundred and twenty two dollars to save each month, or twenty six hundred a year. Even if you invest it at ten percent annual growth, inflation destroys the dream. By the time you retire, one million dollars will only feel like three hundred thousand in today’s terms. To actually have the buying power of one million, you would need over three point three million.

At that pace it would take nearly sixty years of saving just to reach the goal, and even then it is not enough to live freely. The so called safe route is designed to keep people working until they are old and tired.

The reality is you must learn how to invest. You must learn how to manage your capital. Whether through business, cash flow, or higher performing assets, you cannot afford to settle for ten percent a year.
