Your Financial Advisor Is Driving Your Yacht

Your Financial Advisor Is Driving Your Yacht

In today’s world, you're not just trying to grow your wealth—you’re fighting to preserve it.

But here’s the cold, hard truth: The financial system is rigged against you. From taxes to inflation, your dollars are being eaten away

The very people you trust to secure your financial future—your advisors, your fund managers—are often benefiting themselves more than they are benefiting you.

It’s time to flip the script, take back control, and steer your financial ship towards true financial freedom.

The System is Stacked Against You

Imagine this: You should be driving your financial yacht, but instead, your fund manager is at the helm. Why? Because the system incentivizes them to keep your money under their control—whether it benefits you or not.

Fund managers aren’t always motivated by growing your wealth. Instead, they profit from keeping you invested—often pushing you to “stay in the market,” even when it’s not in your best interest.

Let’s talk about misaligned incentives.

Misaligned Incentives = Subpar Returns ??

Fund managers make money by keeping your funds under their management for as long as possible. It’s why they repeat, “It’s not about timing the market; it’s about time in the market.”

But here’s the kicker: The longer they hold your money, the more they profit. Meanwhile, hidden fees and expense ratios are eating away at your returns.

Think you’re only paying 1-4% in fees? Think again. Over time, these fees could devour up to 68% of your returns.

The Great Fakening: Are You Really Beating the Market?

You might feel like you're keeping up with the market if you're invested in an S&P 500 index fund. But when you adjust for real inflation and the expanding money supply, the picture looks grim.

Fact: The S&P 500 hasn’t reached a new high in real terms since 2000.

Your dollars are buying less, your quality of life is shrinking, and your portfolio isn’t keeping pace with what really matters—your purchasing power.

How to Take Back Control

Now that you see how the system is stacked against you, here’s how to flip the narrative:

1. Manage Your Own Money

Take charge. Spend just a few hours learning how to manage your finances, and you can outperform the very advisors you’re paying.

2. Stick to What You Know

Follow Warren Buffett’s advice: Invest in what you understand. Know the businesses, technologies, and assets you believe in.

3. Ride the Quantum Wave

We’re in a once-in-a-generation wealth-building cycle. Groundbreaking technologies like AI and crypto are converging. Focus on disruptive tech, and you’ll be positioned for exponential returns—no advisor required.

Take the Wheel--and The Yacht

Your financial advisor doesn’t have to drive your yacht. With the right mindset, strategy, and knowledge, you can steer your financial future toward true freedom.

No one cares about your financial success as much as you do.

Take the wheel. Chart your own course. Build the wealth you deserve.

I'm hosting a live on October 8 to show you how to beat inflation.

Seems like my financial advisor took 'steering my investments' a bit too literally! If only he'd navigate the stock market with the same zeal. Next time he calls, I'll ask for a ride on that yacht - after all, I'm apparently the sponsor! #InvestmentJoyRide"

Agreed! Mark Moss do you have an opinion about Nelson Nash's Infinite Banking concept through whole life insurance policies? (Book: Becoming Your Own Banker)
