You Will Need To Have More Access To Options In Your Life Than Any Other Generation

The next 20 to 40 years of people’s working life will bear no resemblance to that of the past generations time.

So financially successful people will be planning ahead for this already.

The majority of people drift through life just trusting to luck and what life throws at them - especially with their financial security. Clearly this does not include you as you are reading this blog.

Stating the obvious there are no guarantees in life. This ranges from the smiley events that happen. But unfortunately life is not always a straight line rising with success and sugar and spice. Some people experience downturns with family illness, personal illness. There could also be times of being out of work dictated by markets or employers. I have lived through times where clients have been made redundant from companies being taken over or cut backs.

With us all living longer, how do you feel about the prospect of being in the same employment from 20 years of age to potentially 70 or longer? With the advances in science and Artificial Intelligence for robots estimated to be doing 30% of jobs in 10 to 20 years time.

So what you need is to be able to have Options in your life for Your Financial Security.

For you and your loved ones to live life on your own terms. And that will come from being financially independent.

Many people put up with employment purely to maintain a high salary. To keep the life style that they are unable to enjoy because they are working long hours or are too shattered to enjoy it when they get back home.

Let me tell you about John. He was a high flying executive in a London firm. John left home in the dark before his family woke. He arrived home in the dark after his young children had gone to bed. All to earn his huge salary.

Asked what he would like to do in an ideal world and his answer was to sail with his family. So we put a plan in place to build up his Escape Plan of investments over 10 years and then he could have the Option to wave it all bye-bye and live his life on his terms. Doing what he wanted to do with his family.

By having Options in your life from being financially independent, this will allow you decide what work you want to do. If you want to carry on working at all. Possibly taking lower paid work but doing far more interesting work with far less stress.

Many students take gap years before going to Uni or starting work. How would you like to be in a position to take gap years – or sabbaticals – during your life.

The number of people starting new businesses in their 50’s is increasing all the time.
