Retirement Pessimism Can Be Overturned
- Nearly 27.5% of Gen Z and millennials expect to never retire, but Brian Preston and Bo Hanson argue retirement is attainable with the right plan.
- They cite client success stories showing diverse paths: starting late, low incomes, or teacher salaries still reached comfortable retirements through discipline and investing.
Be A Saver First To Build Wealth
- Become a saver/investor early and consistently; millionaire surveys show ~76% reached their first million that way.
- Brian Preston references Millionaire Next Door–style data and their client survey to back this saver-first pathway.
Use A Number Tool To Know When You Can Retire
- Build a financial plan now and use tools to model when you'll reach retirement, rather than hoping it happens.
