financially independent- financial stability- social securityEven though we live in the most affluent country in the world, where most people earn and spend a fortune in the course of their working lifetimes, why is it that the majority ends up dependent on social security, pensions and relatives when they retire?

If a person earning $25,000 dollars per years would just save $2500 dollars per year, ten percent of his income, and invest it carefully to earn a return of ten percent compounded over the course of his working lifetime, the years from age 21 to age 65 (44 years), it would grow to $1,794,762 dollars through the miracle of compound interest.

So the question I began to ask was “why is it that people don’t become wealthy?”. In a country like ours, with the opportunities that we have, why is it that so few people retire financially independent? And I eventually found the answers.  The infographic below exhibits what I consider to be the five reasons why people don’t become wealthy. Enjoy!

    Very good and very interesting. I don’t think anybody making $25,000 can put $2,500 away each year or even if you doubled it, because in today’s world you can’t live on that even if you didn’t put away 10%, but someone making $100,000 could do it with $10,000, but if they’re making that kind of money while young, they’ll be wealthy anyway. You’re kinda damned if you don’t and remain damned and collect social security unless you’re taught early how to think differently and live like a miser until you turn 65…

    I posted this to the Facebook forum in error:

    Brian, “…invest it carefully to earn a return of ten percent compounded…”. Could you please point me to where one can earn 10% compounded in the current economic conditions? I’m lucky to earn 6% on carefully invested preferred stocks.

    Beyond it never occurring to people, it is thought to be luck and/or basically impossible. Like you said, simple realization of the fact that it is possible can change a person’s life!
