If you've been meaning to figure out AI but didn't know where to start, there's a free way to do it this week. I use AI EVERY DAY! It does a lot of work for me, and that frees me up to do projects I wouldn't have gotten to otherwise. AI for Business is running a live online summit starting tomorrow, Wednesday through Friday, 1:00 to 3:30pm ET each day. The sessions cover building a simple app with no coding, and setting up AI to handle everyday work. It's free, it's online, and there's no software to buy. Save your free seat here: https://aisummit.retireready247.com If you're signing up, comment below so I know to look for you. Disclosure: I'm an AI for Business affiliate. The Summit is free, but I may earn a commission if you choose to buy a VIP or PRO upgrade. Thanks!

Ill be 46 in a couple weeks and im realizing i really need to get my ducks in a row On this. I waited longer then i should have but here we are! Who can relate? Tell me I’m not alone lol

I’m Jennifer 💜 I spent 26+ years behind the chair doing hair, and I genuinely loved it. But eventually I had to admit something I didn’t really want to admit. My body wasn’t going to let me do it forever. Chronic pain made standing behind a chair all day harder and harder, and honestly, I’d always wanted something different too. More freedom. More flexibility. And a way to make money that didn’t depend on me physically showing up every single day. Network marketing was my first real introduction to making money online, and I learned a TON from it. But I eventually got tired of the chasing, the pressure, and having so much of my income tied to one company. So I started building differently. Today I have multiple ways I make money online, I get to work from wherever I want, and I’ve built communities full of people figuring this stuff out right alongside me. And that’s probably my favorite part. I love helping women realize there isn’t just one way to make money online. You can build something that actually fits your life, your personality, your strengths, and the season you’re in. So if you’re figuring out your next chapter too, give yourself grace. It’s a journey of becoming. Excited to connect learn from @Richard Dias and grow together Tell New where you are from in the comments Kentucky gal here

No amounts here, on purpose. Just the list, because the list is the point. A rental check. An oil and gas royalty deposit. A small app that charges a monthly fee. Three deposits, three different reasons, and not one of them needed me to punch a clock. The app still takes real work, and so does the print-on-demand shop I am building now, but it is work on my schedule. I still think about making money, having enough, and not outliving my money. What changed is that I think about what to add rather than how fast the account is draining. What is on your list right now, even if it is one line? -Rich Results vary, and I am not a financial advisor.

A couple posted this on a retirement forum this week, and it drew more than 200 replies. One pointed out the 4-year gap before their pension starts at 62. I retired at 55 in 2022. What made the date feel doable was not the size of my balance. It was being able to name the income streams that would land in the account every month, and where each piece came from. So my answer to them is Tuesday's covered number. Run it before you pick the date, not after. If you could write back to this couple, what would you tell them? -Rich Not financial advice, just my experience.
