You may be wondering why I haven’t blogged about real estate investing in a while. There’s a very good explanation video at Nabers.TV for you to check out.

Solo 401k was thrust in the spotlight again last week because of its powerful ability to reduce your self-employment income through large tax-deductible contributions.

Unfortunately, the writer of that WSJ article is mildly financially retarded. Take a look for yourself. Read the article to hear about the powerful tax benefits (albeit presented in a fantasy situation), and then read the comments to have some real people bring the concept back to reality.

Cliff notes version:

• I will be offering free one-on-one phone consulting to qualified people
• In order to make room for that, I will no longer be offering free consulting in the form of blog comment responses

Here’s the skinny >>>

I’m making some changes to how I focus my energy and how I am able to help you with your wealth preservation and wealth building, both inside a Self-Directed IRA LLC or Solo 401(k) and outside of retirement funds.

Here’s what these changes will do for you:

• If you are aimed down a path that is likely to succeed, we may get a chance to work together more intimately
• If you are aimed down a path that is likely to destroy your wealth and frustrate you, you won’t get my help

Let me explain…

The #1 biggest factor making an impact your wealth right now is inflation.

Some people are trying to “beat” inflation by taking bigger risks to hopefully get bigger returns that will be bigger than inflation.

For 95% of my readers, that won’t work. It won’t work because bigger risks increase the gains and the losses, and over the long term most people will have worse performance as a result of taking bigger risks.

Around 5% of my readers have maybe figured out how to get bigger returns by spending more energy on some sort of system or process that yields larger returns. Moving forward, I don’t think that will continue working either.

Why won’t aggressive investment strategies work in the future?

Well… they will work and they won’t work. They will work in terms of turning your dollars into more dollars. They won’t work in terms or actual value adjusted for inflation.

This is because there is no limit to the amount of money the Federal Reserve has, can, and will print.

You can go after a 15% return.

The Fed can create 50% inflation.

You can go after a 50% return.

The Fed can create 500% inflation.

The Fed can create 5000000000000000000000% inflation.

There’s no limit. And they have to print lots of money because it’s the only way the government can keep spending more money than it has. The government will keep spending until it collapses. And the Fed will keep printing money for the government until that happens.

This means that each month, more and more money will be stolen from you through inflation. Whatever savings and income you have, it will buy less and less.

That’s not stores and merchants screwing you over by ripping you off. It’s the monetary system ripping you off because you remain vulnerable and exposed.

My New Service

If you are interested in how you can become fully protected from dollar inflation, hyperinflation, or even currency collapse… I’m offering a free strategy session for a limited time.

This is really my dream come true to be able to get back to working with my clients one-on-one and helping them on a very personal, attentive basis.

So, it’s my opinion that the only way you could be headed for success is if you recognize inflation as the most powerful wealth factor impacting you, and if you know you must fix this before taking on any other wealth building objectives.

If you’re on the path to success, you can request a free strategy session.

The Path To Failure (& new blog comment policy)

I believe that right now, the surest path to failure is to focus attention and energy on anything other than inflation protection. So I won’t help you do that.

Effective immediately, I will stop offering free consulting in the form of blog comment responses. This means that if you are looking for help with…

• Structuring complex (potentially prohibited) transactions
• Trying to figure out UBIT implications
• Trying to structure a real estate deal

…then I won’t be able to help you because I will be spending all of my attention and energy on helping people with the more important objective of inflation protection.

You could structure the most clever real estate deal in an IRA LLC and then lose all of your wealth in our continued (possibly accelerating) economic and currency collapse.

I won’t help you do that.

Or you could become fully protected from inflation and be in position to survive and thrive in any economic circumstances.

Now you can download a small piece of software that turns your computer into a portal for setting up your new Solo 401(k) in minutes.

Faster Creation

You can literally bring your Solo 401(k) plan into existence the same day that you get the software. You don’t have to be full-time self employed to qualify either; self-employment activity on the side of full-time employment elsewhere still qualifies you for the Solo 401(k).

Easier Transactions & Maintenance

It also makes certain tasks easier beyond setting up and funding the plan with rollovers. For instance, if you ever need to draw on the participant loan feature that lets you borrow up to $50,000 tax-free from your retirement funds, you can just fire up the software and get the loan funds (up to $50,000) in your hands on the same day.

Making contributions has never been easier. Use the software to instantly calculate your maximum legal contribution (up to $54,00) each year. Double that if your spouse is involved in your self-employment activity because she (or he) can contribute up to the same limits as well.

Clearer Benefit

There’s even a value calculator that shows you how much your 401k plan is measurably benefiting you. Most people find it’s in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

Total Control

And, of course, enjoying the power of controlling the checkbook for your own 401k investments comes with unlimited, legally-allowable possibilities… such as investing in:

• Private businesses equity
• Non-dollar, safe offshore investments
• Private lending
• Real estate
• Tax liens
• Virtually anything else (just no “self-dealing” or conflict-of-interest transactions)

After thousands of private trials gone smoothly and plenty of early adoption switch-over from our existing loyal clients, we’ll be doing a big promotion to celebrate making this available for new clients.

If you’re on my email list, you’ll be the first to get access.

Thanks for all your support, and everyone here at Nabers Group is ecstatic about unveiling our latest way to give back to the community!

Some might say the health care bill is a distraction from what’s next. Peeling back the layers of the politicians’ never-ending string of nationalizations reveals that they may just be ramping up.

Believe it or not, the self-trustee Solo 401k may hold the key to empowering freedom-loving Americans to finally defeat government takeover of private industries.

Enjoy the video, as it contains a valuable game plan.

This is quite a simple concept so this post will be very brief.

• Our weak economy has brought very high inflation: as high as 13% over the past year.
• Future dollars are worth much less than dollars today.
• With a Solo 401k you can make tax-deductible contributions to your retirement plan in today’s dollars and pay taxes later in less valuable dollars.
• Successful entrepreneurs and self employed individuals can contribute $49,000 per year or more to their Solo 401k in 2009.

…our current circumstances. Rather than ignore the current economic problems, I choose to acknowledge this elephant in the living room during our Thanksgiving holiday.

We are bombarded with headlines like “What will fix our economic problems?” It is absolutely silly. The recession is the solution to the problem of the asinine acts of American government, corporations, and consumers. There is no galactic lottery that our country can win. We have to play by the rules of the game that we started. No person or government can perpetually spend more money than they earn. Such behavior can only be temporary and always leads to self inflicted unpleasantness.

I truly am thankful for our recession because it should help cleanse our government and society of self destructive behavior. We are now forced to return to thinking and doing things in the way that made the United States a prosperous country in the first place.

While the entertainment industry uses industrial psychology to lull us into vegging out at the cost of paying attention to advertisements all day long, it is a blessing for this economic crisis to wake us up and beckon us back to reality. We have become a nation of the most dependent people on earth. Dependent on:

• employment
• inefficient transportation
• inefficient sources of energy
• new clothes to make us look good
• new gadgets to make us feel good
• excessive amounts of food to comfort us
• the government to regulate everything we do

I see this economic crisis as a silent, involuntary re-declaration of independence. The illusion of safety and security being provided by employment is torn apart. People will learn how to create and sell valuable products and services to enrich themselves rather than an employer. As money is tight, sources of efficient energy and transportation will be embraced. Many of these sources have been there all along, but it sometimes takes household budgetary fear to try new things.

Many people will be forced to disrupt their pattern of indulging in food, gadgets, and clothes as means to find happiness… only to discover these indulgences are sometimes a source of unhappiness.

While we may let the government attempt to solve our problems in the short run, that is a path that eventually leads to the same undeniable fact that was the driving force behind the founding of our country: Wealth, safety, and freedom cannot be provided by any government… it can only be provided by the people themselves.

So become independent. Let’s turn this whole thing around. Over the past 30 years our population has consumed the natural and economic resources of the world. We’ve destroyed much of the wealth, prosperity, and resources of our existence… now let’s become a population that creates wealth and prosperity. The prosperity we desire can’t be won or handed to us – it must be created. Be thankful for the opportunity to be a part of what will go down in history as one of the most magnificent periods of mankind.
