Retirement Income Needs

By Steve B

 

Having a retirement income calculator or planner is about to become as useless as a screen door on a submarine. I say that if you are going to be relying on your Social Security income to support you. Allow me to show you a plan for taking care of your retirement income needs. This plan will show you where the money has flowed, is flowing, and will be flowing for some time to come. I will make it crystal clear what you need to do.

The machine started the industrial revolution, and the machine also ended it. With the invention of the cotton gin, and things like Henry Ford's assembly line, the machine took "front and center" for those who made the money after their invention gained acceptance. The United States was the manufacturing powerhouse during the initiation and growth phase of the industrial revolution. However, with the invention of the computer chip, the machine also created a new age; the information age. This current new age made the old one obsolete. As the information age took hold, the result is that a computer programmer became the richest man in the country. It is still that way today.

Where do you fit into this? Have you thought about the comptroller of the United States saying, "Our government has made a whole lot of promises in the long-term that it cannot possibly keep"? If you missed that grim announcement, it is not too late to do something. The time is nearly here to make a whirlwind decision on your retirement plan. It is no longer something to avoid. You must have a retirement investment that will succeed. A huge benefit to my simple method is it can also be passed on to your children. Is that possible? You bet it is.

The thing I will make crystal clear is that you must get involved with the information age for a successful retirement plan. It is the only way to be prepared if you are one of those people who understand that the social security model will probably fail. Even if you still own a business making widgets ( or whatever ) in the United States, you are still partially living in the old industrial age. Soon your widget will be made cheaper and better somewhere other than in the United States. Your successful retirement strategy will be realized when you step completely into the information age.

How do you do that? Virtual real estate, like offline real estate is the answer. If you think owning a motel would be a powerful income source, imagine if you had ten motels. You can own your own "virtual motel" by starting your own successful web site, and have people from all over the world paying you to use it. Want another "virtual motel"? Then repeat what you did with the first one. You can easily provide for your own retirement investment portfolio by using the information age to your own advantage. You can do this and automate it using computers so that your retirement years are not spent "working".

I tell people to get on the "information age train". Even though this train has already left the station, there is time to catch up to it. In fact it is imperative to catch up to it. The comptroller would probably tell you the same as I have here. Do not look to the government to provide for your retirement income needs, join the information age and have a source of income flowing automatically into your life using the power of the web.
