We want to live to 100, maybe more. But these plans are not set up to live to 100, which means if we just rely on traditional retirement plans, it's very likely that we'll run out of money.""Match, don't max because you just want to take advantage of what the company is matching. But we don't want to max out everything that we can put into these types of programs.""To really build wealth and to build it powerfully, you might say, 'Hey, there's my neighbor. The estate wants to dump this property really fast. I can get a great deal on this house.' But wait, I can't touch that retirement income to take advantage of this opportunity."Resources Mentioned Vanguard (for index funds) - https://investor.vanguard.com/Connect with KrisstinaWebsite - https://wealthywellthy.life/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/krisstinawiseYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@krisstinawiseKrisstina's Book, Falling For Money - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0692560904/ 🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast
