Wall Street’s marketing gurus have succeeded in making many of us think we will never retire if we don’t buy stocks. It's a lie! Everyone can build wealth and retire comfortably without suffering stocks’ gut-wrenching risks.
"The Simple Guides are packed full of useful, helpful and simple information that anyone can understand. Before you spend hours reading through thick finance books, do yourself a favor and fly through this quick series. These guides may be short, but they’re packed with timeless information!" - Kalen Bruce, founder of MoneyMiniBlog (moneyminiblog.com), debt-free family man and seasoned finance/productivity writer.
"The Simple Guides are a refreshing take on a subject that, for me, has been mundane, tedious and arcane for most of my life: personal finance... an excellent resource for the practical and realistic neophytes among us and an invaluable tool…" - Steven B.; retired engineer, landlord, community volunteer
Professional money managers can’t beat the performance of indexes—especially after they take their hefty cut of your money—but their firms do excel at sales and marketing. That's why so many of us are convinced that a comfortable, secure retirement is impossible unless we turn over the lion’s share of our savings to Wall Street.
As a result, millions of Wall Street’s middle-aged, middle-class clients watched helplessly during the 2008 financial collapse as their retirement plans disintegrated when stock values crashed by half, the second such debacle in a decade. Millions more, seduced by Wall Street’s siren song, endure stress, frustration, and sleepless nights as stock values spike and plummet wildly.
When you understand stock sellers’ claims about stocks for what they are—marketing mythology—the pressure to buy and own stocks against your instincts and better judgment will evaporate. Then you can focus on saving for your retirement in ways controlled by YOU, not a “money manager” you have never met and know nothing about. And the next time the Dow Index falls off a cliff, you won’t get that awful feeling in your gut and fear that your retirement plans are unravelling.
This Simple Guide describes why stock investing is riskier than you probably think, then explains how to take control of your money and build wealth, without buying stocks if you choose, to help assure the sort of retirement you want.
You do not have to buy stocks to retire comfortably. You don’t have to turn over control of your hard-earned savings to a stranger to save enough to retire. Now doesn’t just reading that help you feel less stressed?
In this Guide you will learn strategies you can implement and steps you can take, on your own and without Wall Street’s “help,” to build the wealth you need and want.
I am not pitching yet another get-rich-quick or make-money-at-home scheme. Rather this Guide highlights practical, simple, and common sense solutions anyone can carry out who wants to follow a lower risk, less stress, and effective path to a secure retirement.
The Amazon Kindle Store and retail bookshelves overflow with impressively titled tomes on stock investing. If buying stocks rightly makes you nervous but you want a comfortable retirement, this Guide is for you.
This is one of five Guides that comprise the Simple Guides to Debt, Credit, and Wealth series.
Please buy this Guide individually or as part of the value-priced package of all five Simple Guides, also available in the Kindle Store.
You will be amazed how easy it can be to improve your finances, cut your stress, and live a better quality of life--right through your retirement years!
