Ed has studied retirement planning for decades, and he believes that there is a hidden threat to untaxed retirement savings in the US that is being overlooked. He refers to the threat as a ticking time bomb, and unfortunately, when it blows up—and it will—the dreams of an easy and secure retirement for millions of conscientious Americans will go with it. He explains the doomsday scenario like this: The US has a national debt exceeding $28 trillion, which is growing every day. The cost of the pandemic has only made the situation worse. And the day is coming when the government will need to pay this debt down. The only option will be to raise taxes thus increasing the amount of your retirement accounts that will be tapped. Anyone, regardless of their political affiliation, who tells you otherwise is either lying or has their head in the sand. In retirement, it’s what you keep that counts.

Eric Siu, this week’s Stay Paid guest, CEO, podcaster, and author of the new book, Leveling Up: How to Master the Game of Life, suggests that we use the lessons and principles of gamification as a way we can think about and react to adversity. If we do, then we can embrace hardship and turn it into fuel that gives us strength and motivates us to improve, to try again, and to keep going. Eric believes it’s this willingness to reframe a negative into a positive that differentiates successful people from those who stop short of success. And I believe he’s spot on. Listen, and when we’re done, you’ll walk away knowing: - The three skills gaming teaches that are indispensable to succeeding in business. - The benefits of thinking about business as an “infinite game.” - Why originality is overrated and the lesson to be learned from both Picasso and Steve Jobs.   ~Luke   Connect | Resources You can find Eric’s book at LevelingUp.com   To learn how to generate more referrals and repeat business, visit: www.remindermed
