Retirement: Do You Picture Yourself in Heaven, Or Hell?
The prevailing logic is that everyone is excited to retire. But how true is that nowadays?
With the Great Recession still in our rear view mirrors, in some cases, still inches from our bumpers, many people near retirement age are frightened of what retirement may bring. Foreclosure, a widespread decrease in consumer spending, and heavy portfolio losses are making baby boomers question if they’re even financially ready for retirement. If your retirement plan is based largely, or solely, on your IRA or 401(k), you probably understand what I’m talking about. Many people have seen their portfolio values decline precipitously in the past five years, and with it, their hopes of a comfortable retirement.
Luckily, there is a solution! Diversify your portfolio with a self-directed IRA and you could be resting easy in the knowledge that you’ll have a comfortable retirement right around the corner.
Use a self-directed IRA or, if you’re self-employed in some capacity, a Solo 401(k), to diversify your retirement portfolio. Invest in tangible commodities that are not directly tied to the stock market, such as precious metals, real estate or land development.
Imagine the possibility of earning large monthly returns that you can place in your retirement portfolio, or, after the age of 59 ½, withdraw without decreasing the value of your principal. That’s security!
