Learning from your mistakes makes you smart. Learning from other people’s mistakes makes you a genius. There are two ways to share knowledge, you can push information out or you can pull them in with story. A good story well told, can change the world. After 25 years in the trenches working with thousands of individuals and small business owners, John MacGregor opens the vault on 10 incredible stories that have the power to transform your financial life forever. In this book MacGregor reveals 10 real-life stories of people he encountered who had everythng and lost it all. It is here, MacGreogor reveals for the first time “The B.E.A.R Trap”, THE four underlying reasons why so many people go and stay broke. Using jaw dropping stories, this book answers and solves why: • 78% of people are living paycheck to paycheck • 65% of people could not come up with $400 today for an emergency expense • Why money is the #1 source of stress in our society • AND, why this problem is getting worse – not better - despite the thousands of how-to-books, DVD, and online resources available. Unlike the thousands of traditional “how-to” personal finance books that use traditional methods that rarely elicit change in people, these stories elicit something deep within the reader that allows people to make meaningful transformations in their life. The BEAR Trap formula is not only effective in your financial decision making, you can use it anywhere in your life to avoid painful outcomes and pitfalls. Though this is about the rich going broke, the amount of money doesn’t matter as everyone of these stories can pertain to you and your family

In this book, the author offers ways to learn how to enjoy as many work-free years as possible. Learn how to decrease your work years to retired years ratio (WY: RT). This ratio compares the quantity of work years to retired years and the two are interdependent of each other. If you have worked for fifty years and is now one hundred years old, your ratio is 50/100; 50:100 which is reduced to 1/2. Meaning that you have spent only half your life working which is that not bad. Most people can not say that. The average life expectancy is somewhere around 74 years of age. Most people work until they are 65 or 70 years old. The more common ratio is 40:10 assuming that the starting work age is 25 years. In this book, you will get ideas on how to retire right now without having a lot of money but still be able to enjoy your life.

Retirement planning was simple and predictable 40 years ago. All you needed was your company pension, personal savings, and Social Security. Those days are long gone. Most public pensions are underfunded, and private companies can’t get rid of them fast enough. Social Security’s own trustees predict it will run out of money in less than 20 years. And most people haven’t saved even a fraction of what they should. Retiring comfortably today is not about saving more, it’s about saving smart. In Don’t Retire Broke, you will learn: Traps to avoid before you retire. How to maximize Social Security benefits. What to do now if you still have a pension. How to keep the IRS out of your IRA. Isn’t it time to make sure you don’t retire broke?
