About Chris Miles: Chris Miles is the "Cash Flow Expert" and the anti-financial advisor, dedicated to teaching entrepreneurs and high-income employees how to achieve financial prosperity today. After four years as a financial planner, Chris realized traditional investment strategies often fall short, leading him to focus on alternative investments that generate real cash flow. As the founder of Money Ripples, he has helped hundreds of clients discover an average of $34,000 a year by identifying money leaks and implementing innovative investment strategies. With a proven track record and features in major publications like CNN Money and US News, Chris empowers individuals to take control of their finances and create lasting wealth.
In this episode, Brian and Chris Miles discuss:
- Managing finances while caring for family
- Breaking away from traditional financial advice
- Real-life financial setbacks and recoveries
- Navigating today’s economy and retirement plans
Key Takeaways:
- Relying solely on 401(k)s, savings, and paying off debt could leave you with insufficient retirement funds, as evidenced by Chris's father's struggles despite following these exact principles.
- Building passive income through investments such as real estate and hard money lending creates reliable financial freedom, allowing you to retire earlier and withstand market downturns.
- Avoid locking money into inaccessible places like mortgages and retirement accounts; keeping your assets liquid ensures you can access funds during emergencies or downturns, like the 2008 crisis.
- Instead of focusing on accumulating wealth, track monthly cash flow and aim for continuous income streams that keep generating profits, even during difficult times.
"If you want your own financial freedom to go up, you need to get your money out of prison." — Chris Miles
