Don't Get Stuck With A Broken Income!

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Many baby boomers (now the largest segment of the population) are retiring from the workforce and settling into their new reality. For many, part of this new reality is adjusting to a fixed income. One disturbing trend I see over and over is the fact that people cannot afford to things they want to do. The money just isn't there to do all the wonderful things they had planned to do once they retired.

To me, this sounds more like a "broken" income than a fixed income. I don't mean to be disrespectful of or make fun of anyone, but I can't tell you how many people I have seen leave WA because the $47 per month is out of reach due to their fixed incomes.

If your income doesn't afford you $47 per month to better yourself, then "broken income" is the only fitting term in my opinion.

Again, this is not meant to mock anyone but to be a warning to people who are still years from retirement. Why would allow a government to fix your income knowing how much of a failure it has been for so many others.

If Not This, What?


Affiliate marketing may not be as easy as you hoped it would be but what are your alternatives? Seriously. I am not aware of a less expensive and more forgiving business than affiliate marketing.

What if takes you 5 years to learn how to build a successful online business? So what. It's still better than spending 40 years to fail at something else isn't it?

The way I see it, you can struggle now and learn to be successful, or you can get back on the broken income path and struggle for the rest of your days. The choice seems obvious to me :)
