How are you feeling being just 5 years from retirement? Are you smiling and looking forward to retirement living or are you frowning and worried about your retirement years.
For 95% of people (these statistics have been the same for 50 years +), their retirement funds are inadequate to carry on a decent life. Only 5 out of every 100 people have sufficient in their 401k retirement plans. You could start a traditional business. Being in business with no boss to answer to is the dream for a lot of people. But what business is right for you? How much money must you invest not only to open the doors but to sustain the business; particularly in its early years. Are you prepared to place a second or even a third mortgage over your house to gamble on this new venture working out. Can you defy the odds of 87% of small businesses failing in the first 2 years.
So what if you are part of the 95% and are 5 years from retirement? What can you do? It really comes down to 2 areas - increase your income and decrease your spending.
Increase Your Income Ask for a raise. In a tough economy, it's difficult to get a pay increase. Bosses think you are replaceable because there are plenty of suitably qualified people to take your place. It is an option but don't get fired! Get a part time job. If jobs are scarce then it's hard to get extra work. But if not, then a part time job can add to the family budget. It usually means working late at night or on weekends, which in turn takes you away from your family. You are trading money for time and no employer will pay you more than they think you are worth. Once again there is plenty of competition just waiting to take your job.
So if you are 5 years from retirement and the cupboard is a little bare, don't despair. There is another way. We have a step by step system that can increase your income and decrease your spending in and around what you are currently doing. It's working for over 800,000 families just like you
