Meet financial advisor Eric La Manna as he breaks down what investing really means, especially for those over 50 pivoting to remote work or business ownership. He shares smart metaphors, clears up the mystery around cryptocurrency & explains how to approach retirement planning when you're self-employed.
You’ll learn:
- Why picking investments is like choosing how you get to work
- What cryptocurrency actually is—and why younger investors are drawn to it
- The difference between short-term fear and long-term market trends
- Retirement planning tips for freelancers and small business owners
- The one thing more important than your investment choices: having a plan
Some Key Takeaways:
1. Start Where You Are, Even If You're Late to the Game
It's never too late to start planning for retirement.
2. Know Your Risk Tolerance and Time Horizon
Understanding how much risk you're comfortable with and how much time you have until retirement is critical
3. Diversify, Don’t Gamble
Cryptocurrency and individual stocks can play a role, but Eric stresses the importance of diversification and caution.
4. Plan with Purpose
Retirement isn’t just about money — it’s about the lifestyle you want.
You don’t need to be a financial expert to get started but you do need clarity on where you’re headed. If you want a companion on that road Eric’s someone who brings wisdom without the jargon.
