I want to first welcome everyone to this group! My idea for this community is to share some key concepts that are not commonly available to people. I have made discoveries by accident over the last 26 years of investing that are very substantial and have impacted myself and my family as well as the Alumni of students I have so fortunately met over the last 18 years. I mentioned that I "made discoveries by accident". I want you to focus on this. What took me 26 years to compile mostly by accident, I can teach you on purpose in a relatively short time compared to 26 years! Imagine gaining 26 years worth of trial and error knowledge condensed into 180 days of 1 on 1 training! The mainstream Retirement Education System out there in the world has an agenda that serves themselves first and foremost and I can so easily prove it to you with this one traceable fact: Less than 2% of the adult population takes advantage of a Self-Directed Retirement account. You may have never heard of such an account, and if you did, you were warned that they are dangerous and difficult to manage and you could lose some or all of your retirement nest egg! We were also taught to Save for Retirement. Who is telling us to save for retirement? The banks. What do the banks do with our savings? They lend. They don't save your money, they take your deposits and lend through the Fractional Reserve System. If you search YouTube on "Retirement" you will be bombarded with videos on how much you should have saved for retirement, what the right amount is and at what age and how much is enough. A million dollars at 65 and the list goes on and on. Imagine having assets that throw off monthly income that you can spend or save. Yes you can save the money that comes in. You save until you have enough to put down on another cash flowing asset. That's how you do it. Cash Poor Asset Rich! Your money has to go through the rinse cycle and only comes out to spend after the investment spits it out. Hence Retirement Cash Flow. You don't work to save up and spend later. That is a fools game. I'll show you why. When I was 18 I was making $4.00 an hour working 50 hours a week. $200 a week minus taxes I was taking home $130 a week. If I saved 10% of that money (which was impossible) that $13 in today's value would be worth about $.60 I would have to have saved that $13 for 50 years!

I believe we have someone here that just retired and is ready to make some real money! Drum roll please . . . . . . . . ! Let's hear it for Cody!! @Cody Cox
