How Do I Value My 8000+ Contacts? by Bill Roberts The Baby Boomer Retirement Planner How do I value my 8000+ contacts on LinkedIn? I would like to put a numerical value on each contact in order to "justify" the time I spend maintaining my account. I need to keep in touch with all of them. I get and send emails to/from my list. I "invite" connections and accept connections, I get and give endorsements. My ROI It all adds up to a substantial investment of time. So what is that time worth? What is my ROI (return on investment) on my invested time? I … (4 comments)

Retirement Empowering Strategies by Bill Roberts The Baby Boomer Retirement Planner There are several different strategies that will allow a Baby Boomer to live their life in the style to which they have become accustomed. Just because 90% of Boomers have less than $100,000.00 in their retirement accounts, it doesn't mean that they will be living on the street and eating dog food straight from the can. You "know" that you can't retire with only $100,000.00. You probably spend that much every year just to live. So what are you going to do the second year? Work Until You Die Most of us have … (2 comments)
bill roberts the baby boomer retirement planner: Let Me 'Splain It To You CJ by Bill Roberts
- 08/14/13 01:41 AM
Today I read a post from CJ Johnson SAME STUFF DIFFERENT DAY where she details her experience on her first listing for her new brokerage. She says that even though she has done all the Internet stuff, all her activity on the listing came from old fashioned sources: MLS and sign calls. Of course CJ. The "last mile" hasn't changed. Buyers still need agents to "view" a listing, make an offer, open escrow, handle all the disclosures,and close the transaction. Buyers use the Internet to narrow their choices, to learn about the market, to get school information, to get an idea about prices. But … (5 comments)
bill roberts the baby boomer retirement planner: Do You Believe In Real Estate? by Bill Roberts
- 07/18/13 04:00 AM
Do You Believe In Real Estate? After the so-called bubble we had in Real Estate it seems a lot of people are scared to go back into the Real Estate Market. That is really a pity. Real Estate is the basis of all real wealth in the world, now and at all times in the past. Companies, and their stock shares, come and go. Even businesses that you and your family control are subject to the FASHION CYCLE. Nothing lasts forever, except real estate. Maybe you invest in GOLD. Gold is a great STORE OF VALUE, but it does not produce income or wealth all … (32 comments)
bill roberts the baby boomer retirement planner: Musings On The Market by Bill Roberts, Baby Boomer Retirement Planner
- 07/16/13 03:42 AM
Musings on the market by Bill Roberts. This week the 30 year mortgage rate spiked up to 4.5%. It was only 3.5% a short time ago. Most economic forecasts call for "growth" below what we know the inflation rate to be. ObamaCare kicks in this year. Businesses are saying they can't afford it. They plan to OUTSOURCE as much of their production and services as they can. They will "FIRE" some people and reduce the working hours of others to be below 30 hours per week in an effort to reduce or eliminate the cost of ObamaCare.
All of this does not bode well … (0 comments)
bill roberts the baby boomer retirement planner: Would You Pick Up A Twenty From The Sidewalk? by Bill Roberts
- 07/14/13 05:52 AM
Would You Pick Up A Twenty From The Sidewalk? If you were walking along and you spotted a twenty-dollar bill on the sidewalk, would you stoop down to pick it up, or would you kick it out of your way? I would pick it up. I feel no shame for having this attitude. But everyday I encounter people that don't seem to have the time or inclination to pocket the twenty. I recently "joined" an opportunity that was free for me to join. I receive cashback from merchants that I already patronize. My only obligation is --- NONE. My cost to participate is ZERO. Forever, no … (10 comments)
Now that you know how much money you need to retire, the next step is to come up with a plan to get it. I have two basic approaches to this problem, the "one hit wonder" and the elephant feast: The "one hitter wonder" is like the singer that has one big hit and manages to live a lifetime on the proceeds and the fame The elephant feast is the answer to the question "how do you eat an elephant?" One bite at a time A "one hit wonder" could have been a $25,000.00 investment in Apple Computer in July 1984 … (0 comments)
bill roberts the baby boomer retirement planner: Did You Plan To Fail? Or Did You Just Fail To Plan? by Bill Roberts
- 07/09/13 10:23 AM
Did you plan to fail? Or did you just fail to plan? Over 90% of Baby Boomers can't retire. They have less than two years worth of living expenses in their retirement plans. They either need to come to grips with the problem or resolve to work until they die. Not making a decision to do something about this is making a decision, a decision to never retire. But if you want to make a decision to do something about this but just don't know where to begin, maybe I can be of assistance. The First Step To paraphrase an ancient Chinese saying "A journey … (2 comments)

My New Retirement Plan by Bill Roberts, The Baby Boomer Retirement Planner. I just made a million dollars. No, I don't have it yet. But it's in the pipeline. I will get it. It might take ten years. But I will get it. It might be sooner. I don't know. But I will get it. Several months ago an acquaintance suggested I look at an opportunity.

I'm glad I did. It looked so good I … (2 comments)
