I’ve got some bad news for you — traditional retirement planning is going the way of the dinosaur.

Whether we’re talking about employer-matched 401(k) plans, Social Security benefits, or corporate pensions, traditional retirement planning vehicles are being reduced or eliminated across the board. And, frankly, investing your savings in the market isn’t a guaranteed win either.

So, if you’re someone who isn’t comfortable with your current retirement plans and you’re ready to take back control of your financial future, we’re here to help.

Let me be the first to introduce you to The Red Pill Retirement Podcast. In our first episode, we talked all about how the retirement landscape is shifting and what you can to do prepare.

I also shared a little bit about my personal Retirement Rehab story and how I came to be the founder of Retirement Rehab and The Red Pill Retirement Podcast.

Here are the highlights:

My Personal Journey

I was betrayed by the “tried and true” model that is passed down from generation to generation: go to a good school, get a good job, work there for forty years, max out your 401k, and coast into retirement.

And I’m not alone. Lots of people are behind the 8-ball when it comes to retirement planning, whether it’s because of a market downturn, being laid off, suffering from an illness, or going through a nasty divorce.

In this episode, I share my personal story of how I came to run Retirement Rehab and started building tools and educational resources to help other people in my situation take control of their financial future in an unstable market.

The Perils of the Traditional Retirement Planning

If you’re relying exclusively on things like regular raises/bonuses, 401(k) plans, or brokerage accounts, you’re putting your future at risk.

Any time you rely heavily on a single source of income, you put yourself in serious jeopardy if that revenue is ever taken away. Additionally, traditional retirement vehicles give you little control over the inputs and almost no control over the outcomes.

Diversifying your revenue streams by learning how to build a business that can operate in parallel to your current job is the responsible choice for yourself and your family.

The Benefits of Alternative Retirement Planning

At Retirement Rehab, we help you be proactive and intentional about the retirement lifestyle you want and how you can reliably finance that lifestyle for 20-30 years or more.

Leveraging digital business models like coaching, consulting, or eCommerce not only generates additional revenue streams, it also helps you achieve location independence, uncaps your earning potential, and allows you to continue working longer than you would be able to at a traditional employer.

In short, it gives you the freedom and peace of mind to eventually leave your job knowing that you’ll be able to continue to provide for your family because you’ve taken step
