    About this ebook

    They told you that your 401K was enough for retirement? Were they lying, or can you survive on your 401K?

     

    A little of both. Even if you have millions in a 401K, you need to convert that money into productive income.

     

    Or you can create streams of income in addition to your 401K. Having a 401K, social security, and a pension are significant steps towards living a comfortable retirement. 

     

    However, if you add dividends, bonds, royalties, rental income, and cryptocurrencies to your portfolio, you can build an extraordinary life for yourself. Good Luck!

      01  Your 401K is NOT Enough

      This article will hit some people hard. They led us to believe that our 401Ks were the end-all-be-all for retirement.

      If we just saved enough in our 401K, plus maybe a small pension and social security, we would be alright until the end of life.

      Unfortunately, the world changes faster than we do as humans. Companies, corporations, governments, and families will no longer look out for us—we are on our own.

      What is Affiliate Marketing?

      The problem with 401Ks. 401Ks are a great way to save and invest. Add in an employer match system, and you can grow wealth. However, a 401K is static wealth, not functional wealth.

      There are other ways to put this statement: rich vs. wealthy or "net worth vs. passive." Put simply; a 401K is a large pile of unproductive money.

      We live on income or, put another way, cash flow. When we go to work, we receive a paycheck. After we pay all of our utilities, debt, and bills, what remains is cash flow.

      If there is an emergency or a maintenance issue with our home, we can solve the problem with a pile of cash. However, we look forward to cash flow to replenish our reserves. We need cash flow.
