320: Finance Friday: How to Invest When the 20-Year Grind Pays Off

Retirement strategies range from simple index fund investing all the way to full-on real estate development deals. What works for some investors won’t work for others. What’s most important to you is knowing what will or won’t work for your lifestyle . Some workers can easily do a couple of fix and flips on the side to generate income, while you may have a sixty-hour workweek, without a lot of free time to start investing in more intense asset classes. Chris feels just like this. As a working professional with a hectic schedule , he's concerned that he can’t participate in more “active” income-generating projects like real estate investing . He's been grinding for decades , making decent money but funneling much of it to pay off expensive student loan bills. When his wife sold her business , an unexpected windfall profit resulted, leaving the couple with more options than they thought. Now they want to “back into retirement” as easily as possible, while still making wealth-building moves. What’s the best option for them? Stocks, real estate, or focusing on work so they can build a large cash reserve?
