Are you still being told that investing in stocks is the best way to build wealth and retire comfortably? If so, you're not alone but you’re definitely not getting the full picture. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on why I'm not investing in the stock market, how much I actually have in stocks right now (spoiler alert: it's zero), and why blindly following mainstream advice from financial advisors, money shows, or even your friends could be financially devastating.
I spent years as a traditional financial advisor, and even taught others how to trade stocks and options. But over time, I realized something wasn’t adding up. Despite decades of effort and compound interest promises, most people still aren't financially free. In fact, the average retiree has a median of just $200,000 in retirement savings and that’s after 40 years of saving and investing in the stock market. That’s barely enough to live on, let alone thrive.
This episode isn’t about bashing your friends or advisors, it's about challenging the system and breaking free from financial groupthink. I'm diving deep into real data, retirement account stats, market myths, and why so many savers are quietly stuck in financial mediocrity. And I'm not just talking theory I'm sharing firsthand stories from my clients who used alternative investments and passive income strategies to completely rewrite their financial futures.
You’ll also hear why I believe the “screw your friends” mindset (in the best possible way) might just be the wake-up call you need to stop following the herd and start thinking independently.
So, if you're questioning whether to keep your money in stocks or just feel like something isn’t adding up this episode is your call to think differently, act boldly, and start creating real financial freedom today.
