"You have not saved enough to retire yourself. The retirement plan that you're on requires you to save your way to retirement, and here's the problem - you're burning through it at a faster burn rate in retirement than the build rate that you had when you were saving it up."
Think you're on track for retirement with your 401k? Al Gordon breaks down the shocking reality of traditional retirement savings and reveals why most Americans will never have enough to truly retire. Using hard data from Edward Jones, he exposes how the average person aged 55-64 has only $537,000 saved - which would last less than 15 years at just $3,000 per month spending.
But there's a better way. Al walks through a real-world example showing how you can take that same $537,000 and convert it into 21 rental properties, each producing $300+ monthly cash flow. Then he reveals the "culling strategy" that lets you sell one property after two years to buy three more, ultimately reaching the 28 properties needed to generate $70,000 in annual passive income - enough to retire completely.
