There were times in my running career when I had to do a quick calculation:
“I was behind. Seriously behind. We had run 11 laps of the 5,000 meters final of the SEC Championship at Tom Black Track in Knoxville. It was the last race I would ever run as a collegiate athlete. As we entered the last lap and I went into the first curve, I saw the two Tennessee runners way ahead of me. Seemingly out of reach. I mean waaaay ahead of me! But at that moment I became very focused and committed – to win. Adrenaline all of a sudden kicked in and my body just took off! My strategy was to pick off each of my opponents one at a time. Focus on one, then focus on the next – all the while looking at the shrinking distance to the finish line.”
The strategy is not complicated, but it does require the assistance of a trained financial advisor (coach). It also requires commitment and discipline to follow through. But the WIN is right there in front of you. And we are here to help you put that strategy to work and WIN your life financial independence.
Using that illustration as a corollary, where are you on your life financial plan? Are you going into the curve of that last lap way behind? According to statistics, you’re not alone. The US Census Bureau states that roughly 50% of Americans between 55 and 66 have absolutely no retirement savings. OK, got that. We’re way behind and going into the curve of the last lap. Is there anything that can be done?
