Retirement Planning for the Average Person 1 + 2: MFI Series1, #105

By Joshua King

In a strange twist of fate, it's okay to be average. Funny right? Being average gives us the advantage of using our brains to get ahead. Luckily, we can increase the productivity of our brains by reading and taking action.

 

In "Retirement Planning for the Average Person," we talked about the "don'ts" for the average person. We average people don't have the luxury of buying nice vehicles and going on expensive vacations. Eventually, when we become rich, these things will come to us in spades.

 

In "Retirement Planning for the Average Person 2," we talked about the "do's" for the average person. "Do" learn about crypto, investing, real estate, business, and retirement planning. Becoming smarter is the only path towards building an above-average retirement.

 

Today, I bundle these excellent books together for your reading pleasure. If you are not a big reader, let this start towards a bigger and brighter future. Reading books, forming plans, and acting on these strategies is the only way to become rich.

 

Do not let retirement sneak up on you. We should already be looking past retirement—towards estate planning and succession planning. But I digress. Let's start with building cash flow retirements. Enjoy and Happy Investing.
