Yesterday, Your Survival Guy talked about the money-making power of harnessing a company’s match in a 401(k) and starting early. It’s the power of time and compound interest that can do wonders for your life.

I remember talking with my father-in-law Dick Young when he told me, like Warren Buffett told the world, that he too made more money after the age of 65 than he ever had before. Compounding big numbers is a miracle, and it’s not impossible. That’s the beauty of it.

Beware: Don’t let retirement throw you off and make you sell out of the market only to wish you had stayed in it. If you felt uneasy, maybe your plan wasn’t right for you, and that’s why you had to sell. I understand. That’s why dialing in to what works for you can be difficult. But it can be easier with help.

Action Line: When you want help, let me know. I want to understand your situation as well as you do. Email me at ejsmith@yoursurvivalguy.com, and we can build a plan for you together.
