“Times they are a changing.”  Boy is that statement from an old folk song true today.  It seems like our whole world has been turned up side down and there doesn’t appear to be an silver lining to the clouds.

When I was younger the current wisdom was to get a job with a big company.  Work your way up the ladder and then retire to a life of leisure.  Most of the baby boomers bought into this way of thinking and now they are asking what happened.  First pensions were removed so we were forced to save for our own retirement by putting money in 401k’s. (read stock market).  Then right when things looked good, the corrupt wall street banks and insider trading wiped our accounts out.  Oh those guys got super rich, that is what the last administration was all about, but the people who really worked to build the economy were left high and dry.

Now we are forced to start again with a new business opps idea and see where it takes us.  I jsut turned 50 and I know the only way I will retire is to build my own money making enterprise.
