| | How did I get here?
I sat in my home office, feeling almost sick to my stomach, staring at a pile of statements, feeling a little confused after everything, and here... like this.
I had been extremely diligent in following the best advice from the best financial leaders and sources for 10 years, moving toward one goal, only to find out the whole thing was a lie...
I looked through all the financial publications I had been spending money on, piled on my desk, and they were all saying the same thing...
Almost like they didn't even care what had just happened to us...
It was Sunday March 8th 2009.
I remember it so clearly now...
My wife was pregnant at the time with my second daughter, and she was stressing out almost to tears because we had no money to throw a birthday party for my oldest daughter turning 5 in a few weeks...
And worse yet, the bank had just finished the foreclosure process on our home, our final piece of real estate, and we had to move out right away and find a rental...
But our savings were wiped out and we were back to zero...
And this was after 14 years of doing everything right...
I worked hard, invested my money, and was sitting on over $20 million in Real Estate.
I was set for life, I was 30 years old and I had won the game, my future was guaranteed...
But now, here I am broke, and not just broke but millions of dollars in debt.
As worried as I was about the next couple of weeks, having to move out and find a rental I couldn't afford...
I just kept thinking about further down the road.
I felt like a huge failure...
All I wanted was to be able to provide for my family, to give them a life I thought they deserved...
I couldn't stop thinking about how, or if, we would ever be able to afford cars for the girls when they were ready to drive, or how we would ever be able to send them to college.
The Financial Crash of 2008 had wiped me out like so many others because we had all followed the same advice; Buy a House, Put Money Into your 401k...
All the financial advisor's told us; Real Estate and Stocks always goes up..
but they were wrong... and this was my life that was ruined, not theirs...
The feeling of helplessness was overwhelming...
I did my best, following their best advice, and still ended up with nothing...
and that was the day when I decided to change everything!
I decided from that point forward, I would take control of MY OWN financial future!
And I learned a new concept, a critical piece that had been missing from my outlook and view of markets
I Learned...
"Money is like energy, it doesn't disappear, it transfers"
This means when I lost my money, someone else got it!
I promised myself that I would never be on the giving end of a wealth transfer again.
Taking what little money was left, I started to buy financial research newsletters...
this was not the same stuff you saw on the news, or in a money magazine...
most of them costing $2,500 - $5,000 per year.
I started to learn about nontraditional investing in assets like Gold and Silver mines, Oil and Gas Fields, and Emerging Market trends.
I hired tax and investment strategists to help me learn and plan…
For the last 12 years, I have been investing and studying all markets and assets across the world.
And I have studied how wealth transfers work, and HOW TO BE POSITIONED ON THE RECEIVING END.
That's enough from me today, but I really want to share with you what I learned the hard way...
That way, you'll know where I'm coming from... and why I've dedicated my life to helping others avoid similar financial mistakes.
So look for my next email in 2 days
