New year, new you! Weeee!

Hey, what're you gonna do in 2022 when interest rates pop THREE times? Will that decimate your retirement portfolio? How 'bout your real estate holdings?

More talk about inflation... Tired of hearing about it yet?

A healthy awareness of inflation is an important part of EVERYONE'S retirement plan.

Today I give a brief rundown on why I LOVE Marathon Digital (MARA).

And finally, I found a KICKASS tool that can help with end of year LOSSES on crypto and save you on your tax bill if any of your crypto has gone down the last couple months. Check out Taxbit!

After a long delay, I'm BAAAAAAACK, with your favorite retirement planning podcast.

Today we're talking about the insane discrepancy between CPI-reported rent increase and REAL rent increases.

We're also talking about the politicization of economic indicators and how young progressives are downplaying the inflation crisis as a problem only for 'rich people.'

Here's that article trying to debunk Shadowstats:

https://fullstackeconomics.com/no-the-real-inflation-rate-isnt-14-percent/

We also briefly touch on the gender gap in retirement savings. Spoiler: It's real.

And finally, you can get $50 for FREE just by signing up for OKCoin and depositing $100. That's a FIFTY PERCENT RETURN ON INVESTMENT. Just go to www.rogueretirementlounge.com/coin and we'll both get fifty bucks. It's a WIN WIN! You'll be supporting the show and you'll get free money.

Is crypto part of YOUR retirement plan? Seriously, I borrowed $12,750 against part of my Balance and got the money in three days, with NO credit check.

It's the BLOCKFI collateralized loan program where your Bitcoin enables you to BORROW money to BUY MORE BITCOIN!!!

Today’s guest, Brent Bowers, is an investor and coach with a focus on buying and selling vacant land. As an Army Officer with over 8 years of service, Brent was spending a great deal of time away from his family, and he knew he needed to make some changes in order to be more present with his wife and children. Brent began investing in real estate as a way to support his family while having more time to spend with them. In a short period of time, Brent was able to expand his business, hire a team, and (most importantly) spend quality time with his family while still working hard and helping others. Brent now helps other investors learn the ins and outs of buying land.
