I’ve worked in finance and spent years learning about assets — particularly digital assets. People ask me via social media how I made enough money to face retirement in the next five years.

They seem to think I have many secrets about how to make enough money to retire that can change their life. Here’s how I did it.

1. Invest your money rather than save.

Saving your money is stupid. Inflation will eat away at your money. You make money when you invest what you have in real assets.

2. Understand the idea of purchasing power.

Governments print money to fight recessions, and fund wars. When they do, they take away the purchasing power of the money you have earned. The only way to repay the huge debt the US Government has racked up is by either: 1) Raising taxes 2) Printing money out of thin air.

Increasing taxes won’t repay the debt. That leaves option two which we’ve been doing as a global economy since 2008. You can overcome the attack on your purchasing power when you learn about inflation hedge assets.

3. Lose all of your money.
