1 in 3 Americans cannot retire comfortably. With that in consideration, when you retire you no longer have the same income as when you worked, so saving for your retirement is crucial while you are still working. But, once you retire, you no longer have an earned income. You will be living off of your investments, and if you are not adding to your investments while living on the investments then you are hoping to not out live your money.
Most people out live their money, and if you do a reverse mortgage you may out live that as well.
So what can you do to protect your retirement future?
The simple answer, the goose must never die.
So how do you live off of what you set aside for the future and still increase or at the least replenish your investment.
One way is to become a private lender and live off of the interest payments you receive. This way you still have a retirement investment which will still grow, and wantfully you will not outlive.
