Description

OVERVIEW:

Erik talks about how at the Build Your Network Live Event, one of the sponsors Daniel Blue, posed a question of whether taxes will go up in the future. 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Do most people think taxes are going up in the future?      
• We have a lot of debt as a country at over $22 Trillion, not counting unfunded liabilities.
• Most believe that taxes will go up, yet they are putting their money for retirement in plans where they do not pay taxes now but pay them in the future.   

KEY POINTS:

1. This is like having a business partner who can decide at any time when they want to increase their ownership percentage and we do not have a say in it.

2. We are also restricted in the access and are required to take the money out and if we do not then we pay penalties.
