Way back (KLE38), I asked you to wait, in case your ‘trigger finger’ was itchy and you felt compelled to give away your hard-to-come-by capital to anybody who asks nicely enough (e.g. family, friends, your local church, charities, etc.).

Well, now that you have finally reached your Number, the pressure to give money away – to donate – whether to charity or to friends and/or family (and, isn’t lending money to somebody close essentially a ‘donation’?) becomes even greater.

But, now the time has come where you can finally decide to give or not to give!

Congratulations are in order: you have finally completed [bar one more Bonus KLE … stay tuned!] the $7 Million 7 Year Wealth System.

Whether you choose to retire in the traditional sense (sitting on your hammock in the Caymans, drinking Pina Coladas) or check-out to fulfill some of your life-long dreams to [insert Life-After-Work dream of choice: help the under-privileged; meditate in an Indian ashram; start an amazing new enterprise; work part-time in your own crafts-stall; travel to all corners of the world; etc.], you have reached a point that few others have achieved in such a short time and at such a young age [or, young at heart].

And, even if you aren’t there yet, your journey has well and truly started …

In one way, your education is complete: in this course is everything that you need to understand, implement, then achieve the process of building wealth.

In another way, your learning is just beginning, because you need to learn the mechanics of your chosen field/s of endeavor; fortunately, books and resources abound.

Now, you have a framework to put them in, and advanced instructions that even the authors of these specialized courses probably don’t understand.

Some of the steps that we have taken may have seemed huge, but you will come back to those KLE’s time and time again, and – when the time is right – you will have reached the right level of understanding to be able to implement even those … you may not understand them yet, because now isn’t the right time.

On the other hand, you may feel that you haven’t advanced all that far, but that’s only because many of the individual steps have been very small; each KLE has been carefully crafted to deliver bit-sized concepts.

But, let me prove how far you have REALLY come:

When you began this guided learning experience, you may have had only a vague understanding of what it means to be rich.

Now, you have a clear vision for your future life, what and when you want to be doing it, right down to the date (Your Date) and the dollars (Your Number) … you even have a complete budget for your household spending, years down the track!

Most others have no idea what they are going to eat for breakfast, let alone how they are going to live years from now.

Then, you put in place a plan to sort out your finances once and for all, coming up with multiple strategies to ensure that you save every spare dollar … and, put it to work, the right way.

After, you worked your way through all of the possible ways to accelerate your income, by now (hopefully) working on an active business and/or investment strategy that will have your less visionary friends wondering what’s gotten into you.

But, not content with just an active plan to save money – then create more – you came up with backup plans to allow you to start building passive income and protect your future income from disaster … things that you – and your friends – only paid lip-service to before.

Finally, you managed to stop work, just as your friends are beginning to realize that what little they have done to secure their own financial future is probably too late. Not only have you stopped work – at least the kind of work where you are doing what somebody else wants you to be doing on their terms, rather than what you are now doing – but, you are now undertaking paid and/or unpaid activities of your own choice, on your own terms.

The reality is that you are probably only 3 to 12 months into your plan (the time that it takes most people to properly work through this eCourse), most likely still working on getting your financial house in order, while you make tentative attempts at starting a business and/or starting to actively invest.

That’s OK. Your real learning experience begins by putting into practice what you have read – and, worked through – here, and can take quite some time. But, your date is most likely still some years away, and you will find that your Net Worth, after a typically slow’ish start, quickly accelerates towards Your Number.

What you should do now is bookmark the Guided Learning Center and skim through it every few days, picking out one or two KLE’s that you want to review … and, do so! Review these KLE’s  thoroughly and often. Come back to specific ones when you have financial decisions to make. You have a playbook that puts you at a distinct advantage.

Use it!

Before you ‘go’, please take the time to complete these final tasks, then I can wish you well on your own financial journey which will, in many ways, mirror mine:

Task 1: Which of these Modules (Your Roadmap To Wealth, Making Money 101 – Getting Your Financial House In Order; Making Money 201 – Accelerating Your Income; Making Money 301 – Protecting Your Wealth) are likely to be the most assistance to you on your financial journey?

Task 2: What specific KLE’s will you apply in the next 12 – 36 months to move you towards your Number?

Task 3: Take a look at ALL of the KLE’s (i.e. since the beginning of this eCourse): What Has Worked? What Has Not Worked?

Task 4: How close has this guided learning experience come to meeting your expectations? What would you improve or change?

If you can’t be 100% sure that your money will last as long as you do, how do you happily and safely retire (meaning, stopping full-time work … better yet, only working because you want to, not have to)?

The good news is that, by now, you have probably already chosen your favored 0% Withdrawal Rate Strategy and should already be well on your way to implementing it …it’s just that you may not have realized it, yet!

In the next – and, final – KLE, I will show you how.

When you are working towards your Number, you have income to pay the bills, and have a little fun.

Then, you are presented with the challenge of using the rest to try and prepare for the future …

But, when you begin Life After Work (a.k.a. Retirement or reaching Your Number) you are suddenly stuck with the opposite problem: using your nest-egg to create some form of sustainable income (a.k.a. Safe Withdrawal Rate).

So, what is a Safe Withdrawal Rate?

It is how much (i.e. what %) of your portfolio can you spend each year to (a) make sure that you have enough to live off each week/month/year (allowing for inflation pushing up the price of everything that you buy over time) and (b) make sure that your money lasts as long as you do?

In the next KLE, I will introduce you to an even better strategy!

When you complete this (not quite) last KLE, you may see a short One Question survey (plus room to add comments, if you like). Please complete this survey even if you have not completed the other optional questionnaires along the way. Thank you.

_____________________

When you finally reach Your Number, you want to live your Life’s Purpose (KLE13) … to the full!

That means having sufficient money to live according to your Future Lifestyle Budget (KLE18), which already includes an allowance for inflation (KLE20).

And, that ‘s what your 0% Withdrawal rate strategy is able to accomplish!

Fortunately, you’re already half-way there …

Enjoy your well-earned ‘retirement’; let me know how it feels to be finally living Your Life’s Purpose.

Oh, and don’t forget to ‘pay it forward’ by helping people (that will be MOST people) who are worse off than you.

This was the final KLE for the $7 Million 7 Year Wealth System. Thanks for allowing me to guide you on this Journey of a Lifetime. If you enjoyed it, stay in touch and don’t forget to tell others. Now, go and check out the final Checkpoint (it’s already there, right after this KLE in the Guided Learning Center) before you retire for the evening, to have that Pina Colada

You’re hard at work, trying to to reach Your Number, and you’ve cranked up your Perpetual Money Machine to make sure that you get there …

… now, there’s not much to do except work the plan.

So, let’s fast-forward a few years and think about what happens when you finally reach Your Number.

If you recall, you calculated your Number simply by:

So, which is right?

Task 1: Research ‘Safe Withdrawal Rate’ percentages. Tell me what % you feel is safe? Why?

Task 2: Think about how you would like to manage your money in retirement. What strategy would you follow (e.g. would you be like Paul Grangaard and keep you money in bonds and stocks, or would you be like my Granny and keep it in cash under your mattress)?

Your Perpetual Money Machine (KLE123) begins to wind itself up … when your passive investments become cashflow positive.

This is a critical turning point, because …

NOTE: The mechanical/electronic Perpetual Motion Machine is impossible in physics (although, quantum mechanics may provide a solution). The one depicted in the image above (The Finsrud Wheel – a moving sculpture built by Norwegian artist Reidar Finsrud) was built in 1996 and resides in a vault in a Norwegian gallery. The ‘wheel’ uses a combination of gravity, magnets, and pendulum effects to generate nearly continuous motion. It once ran as long as 14-days in a row without stopping; hardly ‘perpetual’ but science is still at a loss to explain how it runs even that long!

Building your own Perpetual Money Machine – something that keeps printing money even when you stop working or stop investing – is much easier than you may think.

And, building such a ‘machine’ is ideal – and, quite necessary – for anybody who has an income stream that they want to guarantee …

… and, isn’t that everybody with a job, or in business?

Isn’t that you?

Your Perpetual Money Machine needs two components:

You should repeat the above process until a  magical point in time … when the Perpetual Money Machine starts to wind itself up!
