Fifteen Minute Fridays episode #37 with John Bowens.

Retirement plans, such as IRAs and 401(k)s, are vital for securing financial stability in later life. With these options, individuals can ensure their financial well-being, benefiting from the magic of compounding over time.

Joining us today is John Bowens, a renowned Self-Directed IRA educator and director at Equity Trust Company. In this episode, we dive into the amazing advantages of IRA and 401(k) retirement plans, uncovering the key to a prosperous financial future.

John Bowens emphasizes that speed and active involvement are key to wealth multiplication. As he astutely states, "Money likes speed, and money likes us to be involved."
