Are staring down the barrel of retirement? Believe it or not, we all are.
And the sooner we are aware of it and willing to do something about it, the better off we’ll be in the long run!
At some point, we’d all like to entertain the idea of slowing down… Enjoying a bit of life before it all passes us by too quickly.
But it’s not that easy…
Building Retirement Buckets
Retirement is all about building buckets of income that drip every month, essentially for the balance of your lifetime, without depleting those buckets.
And in my opinion, the approach to doing so should be diversified. Perhaps that diversification includes a pension, 401k, IRA, income-producing real estate, debt collection or a simple stock portfolio …
You don’t want all of your assets exposed to the market, but you do want enough that you’re taking advantage of long-term growth.
Statistically, the market rises 7% annually.
We know there are years that it rises much less or even falls, and we also know, especially in recent history, that markets can rise much faster than 7% as well.
But what we’ve just experienced in much of recent market history was very much man-made.
Looking at the Big Picture
The pumping of money into the marketplace broadly is not a long-term model that is sustainable.
For one, that money needs to be paid back at some point, and that always falls on the backs of the taxpayers.
But in the big picture, especially the longer horizon you have until retirement, the stock market is still the greatest opportunity for average folks to build true wealth.
And that’s exactly the model offered in my Rapid Wealth Alliance program. We look for great companies with attractive balance sheets that are undervalued and add them to our portfolio.
Now, we’re not trading these companies. Instead, we’re looking to own them for the long haul. Our position timing expectations are up to several years.
However, every once in a while we get lucky and pick a great company like Natus Medical Incorporated (NTUS), which gets acquired, and we book a 50%+ return on investment in just a few months.
Join the Alliance
Luckily for members of Rapid Wealth Alliance, we run a portfolio of approximately 20 of these great companies that meet our ultra conservative criteria.
The idea here is to build another dripping bucket for retirement…
Most of our stocks offer a dividend. Some investors reinvest those dividends to grow their positions while others take them for income.
It’s always a great thing to get paid while we wait for these undervalued stocks to grow towards their potential where we will then book our profits.
I look forward to seeing you on the inside next Tuesday for our live weekly session!
