In this video Rick Bloom joins JoAnne Purtan to look at the secrets to a successful retirement

Now whilst this video “The Secrets To A Successful Retirement” relates to the secrets to a successful retirement as it pertains to someone who lives and works in the USA the principles behind a successful retirement remain universal.

We may not like to acknowledge it (we certainly didn’t and we’re accountants so you would think we would know better wouldn’t you) but the sooner you start saving towards your retirement the better it will be.

We did make provisions by investing our hard earned savings into property and it was considered a pretty safe option at the time. Sadly no one could have predicted the financial melt down of 2008 and our retirement nest egg was pretty much wiped out and what was left became a millstone round our necks. You can read our story here if you are a new reader to our blog.

We cannot emphasise how important it is to begin saving early and we’ve encouraged our children to invest into their retirement to give them a better life when that time comes and we’ve long departed this earth.

The power of compounding which you will hear about may not sound sexy but let us assure you that it works

If you took a single penny and doubled it everyday, by day 30, you would have $5,368,709.12. However, it’s important to note that it’s all about the power of doubling 

That’s quite a sobering thought isn’t it!

If like us you find yourself in the predicament of not having sufficient financial resources to be living the retirement lifestyle you imagined then try thinking outside the box as we did

These days there are so many ways you can leverage your skills and knowledge and earn an income

We discuss some of these in our book which you can get with our compliments here
