Would you like to learn how to keep more of the money you make and have tax free income to live on in retirement? I recently spoke with Cheryl Fields on my podcast about this very subject. Cheryl is a speaker, Founder of Lifestyle Wealth Group and creator of the Wholistic Wealth for Women approach to financial security where she teaches people how to get out debt quickly, stay out of debt, and have tax free income they can use for a stress free life in retirement. An entrepreneur for over 35 years, Cheryl began her life over after escaping 4 years of abuse in a fraught relationship. She then reinvented herself to become a champion for the American family and in support of the women who want to know that they can lead life on their own terms. A former financial planner, Cheryl was new to the industry when the market crashed in 2008. She saw people losing much of what they had worked so hard all their lives to save. She had the insiders view on what was happening, and realized that many families would have to cut back their lifestyle for decades to come. That, she thought, just can't be the ONLY way. So she found out what wealthy people do, and how they weather the ups and downs of the stock market, downturns in the economy, and how they keep more of what they make. She learned how they put their money to work for them, have both time and money, and have tax free income to live on in retirement. Cheryl speaks at women’s events, corporate events, and to groups and association across the country and is a regular guest on radio shows and podcasts, where she shares how the Wholistic Wealth for Women™ approach is the Next Evolution in Wealth Creation™ and provides women, and their families with a way to get out of debt, stay out of debt, and have tax free income in retirement (it works for men, too!). She is a sub committee co-chair for the Professional Communication and Diversity committee for the AALU in Washington DC, where she advocates for American families on Capitol Hill, and helps legislators craft regulations that benefit hard working men and women, and the people that count on them. Cheryl Shares her Message Here: For the last 35 years Americans have been duped by the 401k and IRA (tax deferred) systems that we've been told are the way to a carefree retirement. Banks are making a fortune by keeping us in debt. The IRS gets a 600% return on YOUR money if you defer the tax for only 35 years. Financial advisers are making twice as much as you are off your accounts. Isn't it time we started taking back control of our money, and creating wealth for ourselves and our families, rather than giving it away? The creator of the 401k said it was "oversold" and could never provide all that they said it could. So we've been lied to for over 35 years! That infuriates me. (Wall Street Journal Jan 3rd, 2017 - Front page) Cheryl’s Why: “Because I was an independent woman, with a business, and it wasn't enough when the s**t hit the fan and I was out on my own in the blink of an eye. I want to share these 100 year old strategies with everyone, so that they can make their own decision about their life, and have the financial security to have, or do, or be anything they want to be, and to provide for their kids or aging parents in any way they see fit. It's our money, and we should have it to use however we want to.” You can connect with Cheryl on her website at http://www.lifestylewealthgroup.com/, on Twitter at @CherylFieldsInc, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CherylFieldsInc, and on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/cherylfieldsinc/.
