What is the Media doing to Our Retirement Plans?
Every single one of us has some version of a life plan for the later years in life. Yet when those later years start can be in your 30's, 40's, 50's anywhere up to never. It's your choice. I totally doubt that the idea of sitting around just doing hobbies or having beach time all day is on the radar. At least not long term. Today's episode will challenge you to think differently about the concept of retirement and how you view your money and how that is driving the reactions and decisions - not just yours, but societies. Topics I touch on in today's episode include: what's different about retirement today versus our parents retirement how technology has helped to almost double life expectancy why trying to outlive your money is scarcity thinking discovering opportunity from a whole lot more years of life Resources: Get my FREE 4 Week course Radically Boost Your Money IQ (and EQ too) here Work with Me in The Breakthrough Navigator - Money Edition or Business & Money Edition (click either link)

How to have wealth and feel rich, when you think you are behind
Three decades and I've finally figured something out. Being wealthy and having a rich life are not the same thing. What I got wrong as a professional accountant You've heard it, money makes the world go round, but what if the world kept spinning on less money. What if it literally just needed a small push? I'm ashamed to admit it but for many years I was jealous of people who had money. I saw their business books and their lifestyles. And I saw mine - the polar opposite in my mind. I thought my client with the $5M investment portfolio was rich, and I thought my client who had bought a struggling company and also lost it was broken. And in both cases I was wrong. What i got right was the power of entrepreneurship, and owning a small business. The Realisation about my Childhood, and how we grow up Like much of the North American population I called my family status Middle Class, Upper Middle Class to be exact. And you know why - 'cause my parents had a 27' yacht. Not a boat, a yacht, at a yacht club And through exploring the mistakes I'd made with my money through the years, it became obvious to me, that I'd based our social status on things. And a teachers pension plan. A defined benefit one. Dad's strategy was in fact based 110% on a scarcity mindset, and I was the beneficiary of that. It's not only to make more money that is important. Topics I touch on in today's episode include: Why people with lots of money think they'll run out, The difference between wealth and rich How the family scenario you grew up in affects your definition of being rich What makes a Rich Life?
