You’re riding your motorcycle to work just after sunrise, traveling down a typical suburban street lined with car-filled driveways. As you approach one of these driveways a car begins to move and backs out directly into your path. You brake hard and come to a stop just inches away from its rear bumper. Strategy: Given the hour of day and the type of neighborhood, you could have expected to encounter at least a few drivers backing out of their driveways and heading off to work. Other clues include drivers getting into their cars as you approach, or a tell-tale puff of exhaust warning you that the car has been started and is preparing to leave. Watch for brake lights and backup lights, too. If you observe any of the above warning signs, take the following precautions: Slow your pace and prepare to stop, if necessary. Keep your eyes up and cover the front brake lever and rear brake pedal. Stabilize your speed so that if the car does begin to move out into your path, you have sufficient space to stop. If there isn’t room or time to slow to a stop, scan for an escape route to swerve into. If there is no oncoming traffic, swerve to the left; if this route isn’t available, consider swerving to the right.

JAMES IRWIN HELPS GET YOU ON THE ROAD TO RETIREMENT

I’d like to share with you a story that I heard from Chris and Tracy, a couple my wife and I are close friends with. Once upon a time, they decided to fly to California to rent a Harley and take in the scenery of California, Nevada, and Arizona. At first, the trip went very well. The scenery was breathtaking, and the highway breeze was just perfect to keep them cool as they rode through the desert.

As the morning stretched into the afternoon, Chris’ heart dropped as he noticed the fuel gauge dipping into the empty zone. Then he saw a road sign saying lodging and fuel 100 miles ahead. He decided to pull over and tell his wife on the deserted highway. Suddenly, the mood of the trip changed. Chris and Tracy became irritable, and panic stricken. They started driving slower to save fuel, which intensified the heat adding to the stress of the ride. The scenery no longer mattered. They both fixated on the fuel gauge. They knew they were gonna run out of gas. They just didn’t know when. This story is a great metaphor for how some people live through retirement. They spend all their quality time worrying how to make their money last. They know it’s only a matter of time that taxes and inflation will eat up their savings. So, the end result is that they live like hermits trapped in their home, getting old. Folks, I’m here to tell you it doesn’t need to be that way. There are simple, painless solutions.

We are on a mission nationally to get people out of debt, to build wealth and become financially independent. Before I talk about that, let tell you how the Chris and Tracy story ends. Well, sure enough, they ran out of gas and the powerful Harley gave out it last potato-potato-potato signature sound. As they got off the bike, looking at each other with sad helpless eyes, they saw something in the distance. Their view of the road behind them looked like a mirage. Chris said he felt like a thirsty man in the desert, hallucinating about seeing water in the distance. But sure enough, a vehicle was heading their way. It was pickup truck with a motorcycle in the truck bed. The couple driving the truck were named Ron and JD. They of course stopped, and asked how they could help.

After siphoning some gas for them, they agreed to follow the couple to next gas station. Bikers helping bikers, folks. What a great community to be a part of.
