Season 2 Episode #94 Not Me, But You! Podcast.  You can follow me/connect with me on X at: Waypa Today. 

Some people have a romantic idea of retirment. Somehow, some way, they believe they will be able to retire once they hit a certain age. But what about cash flow? What are your monthly expenses after you retire? We need to pick an actual number! 

We need to know how much money we typically spend to live each month! Knowing this invovles the ever dreaded word of "budgetingl" But if you force yourself to live on a strict budget for 2 years, that alone could help to set you up to be wealthy for the rest of your life. Spending less and living AS IF your were broke, can be temporary 

Warren Buffet said "If you don't figure out how to make money while you sleep, then you are destined to work until the day you die!" 

I like the idea of building your pile of money and investing it in dividend producing assets. Then live of the dividends. Do NOT simply withdraw 3% or 4% of your big pile of money in retirment, is the best idea. What IF you outlive your pile of money! You could run out of money! 

You can continue to run the options wheel strategy to produce income even AFTER you are retired. And you can employ this strategy INSIDE each of the 3 types of accounts: Regular brokerage, Traditional IRA, and Roth IRA. 

Owning Bitcoin is better than owning real estate. Selling Bitcoin is much easier than selling Real Estate. And in owning Bictoin there is no insurance required, no taxes to pay, no tennats to deal with, no overhead like replacing carpet or an appliance etc. And the Bitcoin is portable. You can take it with you anywhere in the world! 

What are you focussed on? Poor people are focussed on buyting things. Wealthy people buy/hold assets! 

There is no speed limit on the highway to success. You want to go fast or slow? You select the speed! 

Have courage today, to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon!

I'm not a financial advisor. This podcast is for education/entertainment purposes only. You will need to do your own research and accept responsibility for the results of any money you choose to invest. I love using Schwab.com to buy/sell stocks/ETF's/closed end funds/options. Schwab has a very user friendly app/website and their customer service is excellent. I can easily get to speak to a human being whenever I have questions.
