Home Values Plummet, How Can You Be Safe?
Many Americans are frustrated because along with their investment portfolios dropping in the last year, their home values have dropped. There is no reason why you should have let this happen.

Most people have invested in an IRA or 401k. The problem is they are ticking time bombs. Very few people have done the calculations to see that in the first two years of retirement they will end up paying as much or more in taxes than they saved in taxes during their working careers. They will continue to pay that same amount of tax EVERY two years for the rest of their life. Doug Andrew, presents this concept and others in his recent radio show. It will be very eye opening for you.
