Will Social Security be the Security Blanket our parents have?

Posted by: admin on Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

I recently read an article about the dire straights of the current Social Security System, how does 11 Trillion dollars sound. Well that is the consensus from our great leaders, George Bush and Dick Cheney both agree that “Social Security is headed toward Bankruptcy” that does not sound good to me. The $1,000,000.00 question is what we can do about it.

The main thing I see is that we need to do is to make a change, we need to realize before it is too late that things are not the same, the current system is broken and there are not any quick fixes. The likely hood of someone under 50 being able to completely confident that the government will be able to take care of us in our twilight years are a thing of the past, we need to create a plan that will help us to take care of ourselves. We are so comfortable with the current status quo that we are willing to live our lives on the “What if” mentality.

Now that I have got that off my chest, lets put together some strategies that can give you the control that you so deserve. My area of expertise happens to be in Real Estate, I know that with the current Sub-Prime mess that has recently dissolved the 5 largest Investment firm in the World, has made the weary even more weary. The main thing I ask you to remember is that your life depends on the decisions you make right or wrong.

The current market we have in Real Estate is ripe for the confident and well informed investor to create the life style that we have only envisioned in our dreams. Even with all the Fortune 500 companies that went belly up someone made a profit. I know that I will be one that will profit in these desperate times. I have done my homework, put in the hours that give me the complete confidence to make smart decisions. In this time you need to be prepared, find a company or a mentor that has a track record of success and jump on the band wagon.

Sam Walton of Wal-Mart fame and fortune states you either learn one of two ways, looking for Mentors and learning from their mistakes or either by making costly mistakes you make. It’s your choice in today’s ever ending world of qualified mentors. It seems asinine to me that you would try to be a pioneer in a world of proven commodities.

If you are trying to invent something new and or better than before that’s completely different, but in the world of Commercial Real Estates there are associations and qualified teachers to give you the working knowledge you need to succeed. The Power to Be Free has put together a group of talented individuals that are willing to literally hold your hand, till you are ready to go it alone. If ever, there where a time for you to buckle up your seatbelts and take control of your future, today’s to the day. I mean what else do you needs to happen for you to wake up and understand that the ways of yesterday are not the safe bet you all thought.

You can wake up in the morning an GM, Ford , Bank of America has gone bankrupt, the Social Security check you thought you might get when you retire will not come, the pension of our parents will not be there. If you take nothing else from this letter, take heed to this, it starts and ends with you. Question of the day, ” What has to happen for you to understand that it all starts and ends with the decision and or choices we make daily.
