The Purpose:
Retiring in style, investing and real estate are complicated topics. My decades of experience tells me that there is no simple solution that fits all people.
The purpose of this document is not to give you a detailed step-by-step process, but to give you sufficient knowledge to start organizing your thinking – so you ask the right questions, formulate the right direction and strategy to avoid risky ventures that do not feed a healthy lifestyle.
