I'm a young 58 with an independent streak that suits me very well for self-employment. I have been a real estate appraiser for the past 20 years and a full-time realtor for 10 before that. Married for 32 years, 2 grown kids. I was looking for retirement income, and now I have it. Now I want to share the magic of leveraged residual income and the power of using the tax code advantageously. In my opinion, EVERY employee should have a home business of some kind.
I majored in getting through college with a minor in beer. Wanted to coach, but didn't have the patience (or the interest) to teach. This might tell you why: Major in Speech, Minor in Political Science. Reason: didn't have to take any math or foreign language. I graduated in 4 years and never once had to write a term paper. Wasted youth, but a ton of fun. Now I'm preparing for semi-retirement and I want to help others position themselves to do the same.
We are in a new global economy that is eroding our middle-class, so we have to prepare for that and protect ourselves economically. I have some ideas concerning how to do that and I want to share them.
