“Build an investment portfolio that supports your unique goals and purpose in life.”
- The MasterPlan. Next Level

The 8th chapter of our new members-only book, "The MasterPlan. Next Level," has been released. It's available exclusively within the Strategy Control Room (Advanced Level).

Our entire life is a race to put in place the financial foundation for our retirement. It may not seem this way at times, but if we think of the decisions we make from the time we are teenagers, for most of us, it's about wealth building and sustaining that wealth. We try to make that journey enjoyable with friends, family, and experiences, but we have a clear goal in mind to be financially secure. 

Some of us may not be as talented at achieving this goal. We often give up in frustration. We usually kick it to the future, hoping our children or grandchildren will handle it. However, someone at some time will need to confront this problem. I know how it feels. I had to take control of my wealth planning because, as you will likely discover for yourself, in my experience, the wealth management industry does not make you wealthy. It finds already wealthy people and charges them a fee. 

In this chapter, we explore:
- Important retirement planning exercise (page 112)
- Listing the costs associated with retirement, including some costs most people fail to think about (page 115)
- Our entire life is a race to achieve this (page 117)
- A wealth model (page 117)
- Another definition of retirement planning (page 118)
- Can you retire happy? (page 118)
- The first big calculation error many people make when they calculate how much money they need for retirement (page 119)
- The second big calculation error many people make when they calculate how much money they need for retirement (page 119)
- The third big calculation error many people make when they calculate how much money they need for retirement (page 120)
- MasterPlan Life’s Purpose Wealth Model™ (page 121)
- MasterPlan™ Pentad (page 123)
- Four options you have within The MasterPlan Life Business Model™ (page 125)
- The lowest taxed life business model (page 126)
- Four levels to building the wealth model (page 128)
