The Retirement Blueprint by Bill Roberts

The Retirement Blueprint
For many Baby Boomers, retirement is an impossibility. They simply

won't (or don't) have enough monthly income from all sources to be

able to maintain their lifestyle IF they were to retire.
They must WORK UNTIL THEY DIE.
That is the Baby Boomer Retirement Plan as most of us know.
But there is a way.
It is as simple as making a plan and working that plan.
The process begins by establishing just how much monthly income

will be necessary after retirement to pay all the bills.
In most cases that number will be larger than the monthly requirement

BEFORE retirement.
Why is that? Because after retirement EVERY DAY IS SATURDAY.
Anyway, the blueprint: establish
multiple streams of income that will add up to what you need each

month. No need to get it all from one source.

Sources:
      Social Security
      Your 401(k) or other retirement plan
      Income property
      A small business
      Insurance annuity
      Other investments
            Land held for future value
            Interests in syndications of income producing property or businesses
            Tax certificates and tax deeds
            Trees (for wood, for fruit,  and ornamental)
            Gold and silver
            A home business (network marketing)

Please notice that nowhere did I recommend stocks or bonds.
Also notice I did not recommend a part-time job. Forget about being a

greeter at Wal-Mart.

Just Do It

If your current income is $100,000.00 per year, there is a good chance

that you will need $120,000.00 per year after you quit working.
Add up all the sources listed above. If you are still short, figure which

areas that you can concentrate on to improve your monthly income.
Do it in small steps. Don't look for a one-time fix for the problem.

Expect to invest another few years to accomplish your goal. If you have

10 years, it can be very easy to bring up your monthly income. Just

remember your goal.

Stay On Target

Don't waste time, money or gamble with your future.

If you don't have a Roth retirement plan, now is the time to establish it.

If you own your own small business you can establish a Roth SEP

(self-employment retirement plan), but even if this isn't possible then

establish a self-directed Roth IRA. Put into this Roth plan the

maximum amount allowed each year. Invest this money in tax deeds

or certificates, participations in syndications, planting more trees (if

the land is already in the Roth), silver and gold, But DO NOT BUY

STOCKS OR BONDS (because the stock market is nothing more than a

giant casino).

Bob, I closed down the candy at 9:00 PM because that's when the bigger kids start coming and they do scare me.

Bill - this problem is a Baby Boomer reality and many simply do not have a plan.

Grant Schneider It is worse than just no plan. They don't have any money and not enough time left to acquire it. But they must take action immediately if they even think that they may want to retire eventually.

Grant Schneider It is worse than that. They don't have any money and very little time left to correct it.

HI Bill what an excellent article, so glad I did not miss this. This is a dilemma that so many younger people or people who last a job are facing. It is scary to think of me as a Wallmart greeter in my 80's.

Well Noah Seidenberg you have plenty of time to do something about it.

But you MUST do something. Just wanting it won't work.

Thank you.
