The evidence is now clear that the old formula of go to school, get a job, buy a house and retire no longer works. Retirees need more reliance in a ruthless and unpredictable future with many new curves in the road to retirement. The US Department of Health and Human Services says that 36% percent of sixty-five year olds are still working, 54% are dependent (require family or government assistance), five percent are deceased, 4% are financially dependent (with at least $3,000 per month to live on) and one percent are wealthy.

In answer to the statistics of only 1% of retirees achieving wealth upon retirement, the book "The 3 Secret Pillars of Wealth" has come to the aid of concerned retirees. The author cautions readers that we are facing financial times unlike anything we've seen before and we cannot afford to make mistakes or be taken advantage of.

The 3 Secret Pillars of Wealth is a virtual survivor’s manual for the investor informing them of what they face in the future that is new and unpredictable and how much investing is costing them with traditional investment vehicles. Forward-thinking financial planners will avail themselves of the technical information outlined in The 3 Secret Pillars of Wealth, while the average investor will have a roadmap that guides them to financial success. One of many recent books to go against the grain and inform the public how much investing is costing them and how they are in a losing battle where executives of the big investment firms take $52 million dollar Christmas bonuses. The book is ultimately written for entrepreneurs and investors who are busy with life or lack financial education and are defenseless targets by opportunists abusing the financial planning system because of the compensation grids unique to the U.S.

  1. We are facing the perfect storm in that whoever the next president is, tax rates will undoubtedly go up. Tax code enacted in 2001 and 2003 expires in 2010 and will capture all kinds of your income dead or alive, the largest increase since WWII. The Marginal tax rate will increase across the board from 13% by highest tax brackets to 50% by the lowest...go figure. Top tax rate on dividends will nearly triple to 39.6% from 15% most likely lowering stock performance. Capital gains will rise from 15% to 20% + state. Alternative minimum tax will bleed the middleclass yet more and capture 25 million new victims…akin to a plague. When you think about traditional tax deferred vehicles it does not make sense to defer taxes to what inevitably will be a higher tax bracket in the future at ordinary income. The answer may lie in life insurance structured for income and a self-directed solo-401(k)s since there are not income limits to ROTH on the solo-401(k). This is the dynamic duo of tax-free retirement income.

    In my book "The 3 Secret Pillars of Wealth" we explore solutions to the crisis that is coming in 2016 when millions of Americans turn 70 and have to take mandatory retirement distributions (MRDs) leaving the stock market in a tizzy. The costs of funds coupled with the rising cost of fuel, food and other living expenses is shaping up for the perfect disaster unless we get educated and take action.
