Time is the Real Currency

Buckle up, I’m going reveal some triggering truth-bombs here…

New members of NSYDRS often share common frustrations. They’ve come to realize the path they’ve been sold isn’t getting them closer to their desired lifestyle. In fact, they’re drifting further away from it; with the possibility of catching up, more unlikely with every passing sunset.

Our time is finite. You can’t make more of it. Data has shown, that employment incomes aren’t keeping up with inflation – not even close. Though Governments proudly boast lower unemployment numbers, the truth tells a different story. More employees are needing 2nd and 3rd jobs to offset their income deficiencies! 

Retirees aren’t safe either. Their nest egg, once believed was going to be “enough,” is losing its purchasing power against our degrading dollar. This is leaving retirees (rightfully) anxious about their future lifestyle/security.

Simply put, it doesn’t matter if you’re an employee, business owner, or retiree…if your income growth/investments cannot outpace inflation, you’re not going to win. (Hint: you’ll need to grow your take-home income/investments by at least 15% every year) The best companies in the world struggle to achieve that kind of growth rate, what about you?

Working harder for money that continues (and will continue) to lose purchasing power, is a guaranteed losing game. And, if you believe “prices for things are going to come back down,” it’s time to get your head out of the clouds – business doesn’t work that way. 

Most of us desire the ability to not only enjoy our retirement, but enjoy the journey along the way. And, let’s face it, there’s no guarantee you’ll even live long enough to retire! If you’re not living life now (as in today), it’s best you start, there’s no guarantee you’ll have a tomorrow.

These days, most have no choice but to work harder-for-longer than their parents. Worse, if they even get to retire, they’re too old to enjoy it! (The main image of me looking out, is at the Amalfi Coast in Italy. If you dream of visiting there, and you should, you’d better get there soon – you’re going to be doing a lot of walking uphill on uneven terrain. It’s not for the physically challenged!)

I’m baffled when I meet people who believe they can work themselves out of this mess, you can’t. It’s futile. Earning more (alone) won’t get you there. Sadly, most won’t figure it out until that dim becon of hope is nothing but a nearly forgotten, distant memory. Time is not on your side.

I’m not interested in convincing you, either. If you don’t see the problem now, or reject what I’m revealing to you, in time you will. I can’t save everyone. As a doctor, I learned a long time ago, to let go of the personal responsibility of my patient’s health – that’s on them. I can only lead them, I can’t make them.

Some people are fortunate to realize this connundrum early, like I did, and took action to solve it. If you don’t see it, keep this website handy — you’ll be back (and my pricing, along with everything else you need to pay for, will have gone up #sorrynotsorry).

However, if you’re one of the lucky few, who haven’t had a critical-thinking lobotomy, and you’re ready to set yourself up to win your freedom back and not spend you last remaining years slogging away at a job that barely maintains your current lifestyle…NSYDRS is for you. Let’s get to work!
