We’re back to talk about all things money, wealth, and investing in another finance focused episode - this time with Ryan Lee, co-founder of Cashflow Tactics. Now Ryan happens to be one of my trusted financial advisors as well as one of my favorite humans, and he and the team at Cashflow Tactics are on a mission to help everyone - whether you’re working a corporate job or working for yourself - become financially free in 10 years or less.
Today, we’re taking a deep dive into why 97% of the financial advice you’ve been told your whole life is outdated, misleading, or downright dangerous, and how you can use your money to live a life of impact NOW instead of running the rat race of trading time for money into your 60s or 70s.
We go over:
-Why putting money in your IRAs or buying mutual funds isn’t really investing
-How to determine how much money you actually need to retire
-The three best assets you can ever invest in (hint: it’s not stocks, gold, or cryptocurrency)
-How to use a tool we call the “vault” to secure your money in for better rates than any bank will give you while also leveraging your cash to go make more cash for you.
Trust me, your mind is about to get blown. My Dave Ramsey people especially, buckle up.
As always, a reminder to do your own research on the financial strategies you choose to implement.
