Contract wealth is the new super charged mutual fund. Strategies in contractual wealth are a way to hedge against a reliance on statement wealth -- 401ks and other government-sponsored retirement plans that have failed our Boomers. It's time to shift gears. The new class of the rising wealthy have a side gig that's creating cashflow with an eye on building wealth. They are not skating around the issue like their parents' accumulation method for retirement from the 80s. They are not missing out on capital opportunities to grow wealth because their money is stewing away in the government's idea of a retirement plan. They are keen to the idea that a tax due later, just means a lost opportunity today. The government is 31T dollars in debt. Gone are the days of locking up your money and waiting to see what happens to it 30 years later. Seriously, that's painfully old-fashioned. ;) Look around, there is too much to invest in today, we are consistently on the cusp of incredible technological advancements and information overload about how to make it in this world.Today's wealth builders are cash-flow savvy, creators of predictable passive income. You can see the shift can't you? It's the gig-economy, share-economy, peer-to-peer approach, collab-friendly, micro-lending, AirBNB, Uber, Turo, contractual income. Opportunities to gain rent from capital has long surpassed the Landlord option. These are freedom-seeking folk. They are not "Retirement stashing/hoarding/hiding their money" (with a sad capital R). If you can quit worrying about money and do the thing you were meant to do in this world, would you ever "retire?" Could you enjoy your life & leave a legacy? This era wants to enjoy their life & create generational legacies. If you don't know these people, they are the majority of my clients, and no one is feeling any pangs of a looming recession. Are you on the right side of the wealth gap that's happening?Start your journey to cashflow creation because we all know that a W2 all by itself isn't enough to kick back and bask in the Dream. It's not how much you make, it's how much your money makes. Then it's how much you keep. Did you know that the employed are the highest paying tax payers? #cringe Our working class shouldn't be bearing the brunt of this. You can do something about it. Learn about money.Make money. Keep money. Make money do the work.
