How to Make Money - Inflation

You learned how to make money, only to have it taken from under your nose by inflation!? What can you do about it? There is a solution.

I've lived in countries where inflation was taken seriously when it got over 10% per month. Yes, per month - not per decade. We've been spoiled in America thinking that 1% per year is a disaster. Maybe not spoiled, just lulled into a false sense of security. We think, "1% isn't that bad". But, did you realize that inflation compounds year on year? That means 1% times 1% times 1% grows very quickly and grows into a monster much bigger than 1%. You think it makes no difference? I'm not going to bore you with math, but a couple of decades can destroy your hard-earned savings. You knew that, didn't you?

How about a lifetime building up a retirement plan? Over a lifetime, you can go from cars that used to cost a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands. The cars haven't gotten a thousand times better - it's the purchasing power of the dollar that has tanked. I'm not here to ruin your day, just warn you that your dream of a safe, secure, comfortable retirement may be just that - a dream. The dream may become a nightmare if your monthly fixed retirement income can't keep pace with the cost of living. Why are there so many bent-over seniors toiling in the supermarkets? It is very, very sad to see this.

Between home, work, and jobs, where would you rather spend your retirement years?

The purpose of this article is not to alarm, but point out that serious action is required to avoid a disaster during your twilight years. Why would it be that we all think we'll never grow old and never die? I can guarantee that we all will die, at a young or old age - it will happen. What if you retire and live on for another forty years?

Inflation means you may buy groceries with your retirement today, 
but go hungry ten or twenty years down the road!

That was the somber news - now for the really bad news.

Our nation is entering into the worst recession in our lifetimes. The unemployment situation is going to get worse before it gets better - and that may take many years. Did it occur to you that the people who contribute to retirement funds are the people who are working? Pause for thought - fewer and fewer people are working. More and more people are reaching retirement age and living longer. You don't need a math degree to see that, as a nation, we're in trouble. How about higher taxation to make up the difference? Don't think so - although, it can't be totally ruled out.

We're heading fast into an era of bigger government. The Reagan years of "smaller government is better" are over. Bigger government is never efficient - never. Just look at history. But the government is getting bigger under our noses with the "virtual" nationalization of our banks. So, you think the government handed out $700 plus billion and won't have a finger in where it goes?

Where did the $700 billion (and then some) come from? Even higher national debt - and that will fatally lead to inflation.

Who - in reality - owns your mortgage if the bank is getting backing from the government? Who owns the mortgages that the banks are dumping at the government's door step like unwanted newborn babies? Will BIG brother look after you? No need to answer that.

Solution: You have to fend for yourself and for your family. In my view, the only way is for you to make more money and continue making money all the way through your lifetime. How?

I'm glad you asked. You need to learn how to start your own business. Ideally in these recession years avoid conventional business. You need to know how to make money on the internet. The internet is growing and will continue to grow. The name of the game is to set up a business that can be set on autopilot to make you money year after year after year. You most likely will not want, or be able, to work in your retirement years, so do the work now and set it up while you have the energy. You will not find this some money make fast scam - it is a legitimate way to earn money - serious money.

Hey, I'm older than most of you - and if this ol' dummy can learn, then you can too!

if this ol' dummy can learn, then you can too

How does it work? Putting it simply, you set up an internet based business that will create short term income and also provide for high long term income over time. It is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme and does require work to set it up. The work you do now will pay you for the rest of your life. Change direction now - if you don't, nobody will do it for you!

You may say, "I don't know how". We are here to help you and show the way. The video training gives you step-by-step instructions of a world-class standard.
