The High Income Illusion

As a rule most people are happy or content once their income climbs north of $70,000 a year.  This is because once you start making over $70,000 a year you are almost guaranteed to make more than most people you meet - more importanly your neighbors.  You see our basic needs including even a foreign luxury car (leased anyway) can be met at $50,000 a year, but that extra $20,000 or more assures us that we are during better than our peers - and that's really important - especially to guys.

But that's where the illusion begins.  You see high income young professionals are a successful special group of people.  They've always done better than their peers.  They were always the leaders - good grades, civic actions, ambition, what have you - they have always stood out.  And now that they are cashing in with six figure incomes it's easy for them to think that they have reached the top.

But they haven't and they know it.  Somewhere between getting the job and getting the next big promotion successful young professionals begin to ponder if this is it.  Is there more?  Do they want to keep this job, is there something else they should be doing.  What would they do if they could retire at 40, 45, or 50? 

They get the sense that they aren't necessarily living life to the fullest - and they are right.  You can't truly enjoy life until you have the option to live it outside of a 9 - 5 or the hustle and bustle of small business ownership.  You need to have the option to not do anything to find out what you truly want to do.

Everything most successful young professionals do is geared towards having a great career or owning a thriving business.  What about doing nothing?  "Well that's what retirement is for," many will say.

But what good is having all that money in retirement if the majority of your life is already lived?

What about the prime of your life?  The early 30s and 40s where your health is EXCELLENT and you have all the energy and ambition to maximize this thing we call life.  Those prime years where your health is your greatest asset - what are you doing to maximize them?  Making more money?  Sure, but what if you could actually enjoy that money outside of a 7-day vacation and a two week winter break?

If you had a million dollars you could find out.  You could find out what you would do if you didn't need to work for a living.  And you could find out relatively early instead of in retirement - like most people.

If you want to build a million dollars in the prime of your life, you're going to need to invest more money and make more money off those investments. 

I can show you how. 

I can show you how to possibly make 25% or more on your investments using leveraged ETFs.  They are the most powerful investments on Earth and I use them to build million dollar portfolios.
