David’s Response to Objections of Certified Financial Planner – David Phelps
Today you’ll hear my response to a financial planner who was giving his client feedback on my latest book, Inflation: The Silent Retirement Killer. Listen in to hear me destroy everything that the financial advisors talk about when it comes to markets, real estate, Wall Street, and training their clients into abdicating their financial future to the marketplace and hoping for the best. Listen in to find out what you can control that will help you navigate market cycles rather than just hanging in there, as many advisors recommend.
I’ll be discussing the interest rate cycle and why it actually is different this time, as well as giving insight into what that means for real estate investing. You will also get insight into the issues with common advice and investment models that planners recommend and why that can result in an elusive retirement. This episode will give you solid ways to hedge against inflation and allow for your investments to actually work for you, so don’t miss it!

Inflation: The Silent Retirement Killer by David Phelps
P.S. Whenever you’re ready, here are some other ways I can help fast track you to your Freedom goal (you’re closer than you think) :
In this episode, we finish up the second part of my interview with Rob Swanson and his eight rules of investing. (If you haven’t listened to part 1, be sure to go back and give that a listen before jumping into this one.) Today, we pick up where we left off, covering rules four through eight and talking about everything from decision-making to cash flow and risk reduction.
Listen in as Rob shares his incredible insight and experience in real estate and investing to give us a few rules that help make our decisions and investments more solid. You will hear about the importance of looking at margins before buying and what boxes need to be checked when it comes to predicting a solid income stream. Rob also discusses how to define and mitigate the different risks involved so that you can come out on top.
Alastair MacDonald is a private advisor to established entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners, as well as a TEDx speaker who lectures on economic, social, and financial forecasts. Join me today to hear part two of our conversation at the Freedom Founders Mastermind, where we dive into the concept of certainty, how to hedge against a volatile economy, and why the abdication model is no longer one that works.
Listen in to learn the reasons why Alastair is not worried about consumer price inflation (and what he’s really worried about instead) and why the 401(k) is not always the investment that it is made out to be. You’ll learn why he is most concerned about the issue of division and polarity in the Western world, why your business is your best asset in a volatile economy, and how you can maintain its viability to weather the most intense economic storm.
