Notwithstanding a strong U.S. economy, only 25% of Americans say they feel financially prepared for retirement, according to a report just issued by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards. : Close to 80% of participants surveyed say they are not reassured that they have the best retirement savings strategies available to them. The good news is, three simple steps can help people build wealth and retire early.
While anyone can benefit from these action steps, they can be particularly powerful for financial independence and early retirement.
1. Pay yourself first
The single most important decision you’re going to make is to pay yourself first. This means, when you earn a paycheck, the first person who gets paid is you. Most people don’t do this even if they have employer matching funds. They focus on paying bills and other personal expenses without considering saving money.
2. Invest your savings
To be clear, simply saving a lot of money doesn’t make you rich. You have to have this money invested for growth. You cannot put this money in a money market or a CD, where it grows at 1% or 2%. You’ll never build wealth that way. We have created an investing plan to purchase monthly dividend stocks. These investments pay you a dividend check every month. Even better, we focus on yields above 10% to beat the market. How would you like 5, 10 or 30 checks coming to you each month?
3. Compound your wealth
When you receive your monthly income, reinvest a portion into new monthly dividend stocks. This grows your wealth over time, increases your income each month and offsets the impact of inflation. Also, this creates a lasting legacy as you are living from the dividends and not touching your capital.
The earlier you start, the better, thanks to the power of compound interest, which can cause your wealth to snowball over time. Yes, early retirement is possible as your monthly income exceeds your living expenses.
