Title: "The Broken 401k & Finding a Real Retirement Strategy "
1The Broken 401k Finding a Real Retirement
Strategy
- 401(k) plans arent working for Americans. Whats
wrong? What is a truly viable retirement plan for
individuals?
2New data suggests that the 401k retirement plan
just isnt working. It is even worse for those
without an organized retirement plan of their
own. So what has gone wrong? Just how bad is the
situation? What might the best retirement
strategy be now?
3The Data Is In
- Key Facts from the Business Insider Report
- Average families with a 401k or IRA had 95,776
in their accounts - The average 401k and IRA balance has risen by
around 4,500 since 2001 - Unfortunately for Americans as a whole almost 50
have zero saved - The median family has 5,000 saved
- The average for those approaching retirement
between the ages of 56 and 61 have an average
retirement account savings balance of 17,000 - The top 10 of savers have at least 274,000
- 82 of Americans without high school diplomas do
not have a retirement account
4The Big Switch
- The most significant factor in all of this is the
shift from defined benefit plans to defined
contribution plans. That really applies to
traditional 401ks and Social Security. With
defined contributions individuals have to put
money in, but really have no guarantee of a set
amount of money coming out. Yet, reliable income
remains the most pressing need for those
approaching retirement. The size of a nest egg or
balance sheet is virtually irrelevant, when what
you need is spendable cash every month.
5Finding a Real Retirement Strategy
- Things that individuals must plan and prepare
for retirement - Solid assets with low volatility
- Inflation proof assets
- Sound diversification for safety
- Tax protected investments
- Some of the tools for accomplishing these things
may include paying off your own home so that it
can be leveraged with a reverse mortgage in
retirement, as well as rolling over to, or
establishing a self-directed 401k or IRA. These
accounts can be used to invest in a wide variety
of assets, including income producing mobile home
parks.
6The Role of Mobile Home Parks in Your Retirement
Portfolio
Mobile home parks are one of several types of
income producing real estate assets which can be
a powerful retirement tools. The advantages
- Monthly and weekly passive income

retirement accounts - Move with inflation
- Easy to diversify
- Ability to build wealth and cash flow
simultaneously - Low volatility

7The data shows that the vast majority of
Americans are desperately underprepared for
retirement. The financial system seems to
continue to trend away from providing a
meaningful and reliable solution. Those that want
to be confident in their future finances and
income can take things into their own hands. A
part of that plan could be mobile home park
investments for cash flow and long term wealth
building.
