Prosperity Economics: An Alternative to Typical Financial Planning

There is no shortage of financial advice, but that has not led to economic security for most Americans.

Many are saving in their 401ks and other qualified retirement plans, crossing their fingers it will be “enough.” Meanwhile, even those considered relatively wealthy are often unsure of how to grow their assets while protecting them from market instabilities and taxes.

Prosperity Economics paradigm

Prosperity Economics offers a way out of the mess.

It doesn’t aim to help people succeed better at flawed strategies; rather, it offers a total paradigm shift about wealth-building. Prosperity Economics questions the financial assumptions we’ve come to accept as true and provides an alternative to “typical” financial planning.

Prosperity Economics: An Alternative to “Typical” Financial Planning

While sometimes hailed as the latest greatest thing, Prosperity Economics hasn’t been so much discovered as rediscovered. Prosperity Economics employs common-sense principles and strategies that preceded the rise of 401ks and the financial planning industry. It shows us how to optimize wealth by keeping it in our control rather than delegating our financial futures to Wall Street, big corporations, and the government

The chart below gives an overview of Prosperity Economics as contrasted with typical financial planning:

Financial Planning

Based on limited ideas of “what you can afford.”
“How much do I have to save?”
Focus is primarily on buying certain products.
“How much is this earning me?”
Put your assets “under management,” (and/or give control to government.)
Focus is on your “portfolio.”
A bigger portfolio is the goal.
Your reward for work is not working.
At mercy of interest rates, with fingers crossed you won’t need to use principle.
Assets are accumulated into accounts where they sit, financially “stagnant.”
Save separately for emergencies, education, retirement, major purchases. Spend each dollar for one purpose only.
Finances are represented as something confusing that should be delegated.

Prosperity Economics

Based on unlimited ideas of “what is possible?”
“How else can I build wealth?” mindset.
Based on time-tested principles and financial philosophies used to build wealth.
Keep more money working for you
Maintain responsibility for and access to your assets and funds.
View your whole personal economy.
The goal is more money to enjoy each month.
Enjoy your work and your life — all life long.
A flexible, sustainable way to live.
Your personal economy is alive and well; money flows in and out of accounts.
Dollars are used for flexible and multiple purposes.
Money is demystified. Education-based approach builds financial confidence.

Prosperity Economics represents different strategies and values than typical financial planning. Ask yourself if you should…

  • Hand over your money to companies who will charge “management fees,” whether your funds are gaining or losing?
  • Analyze your “risk tolerance” (i.e., how comfortable you are with losing money) while subjecting your assets to losses?
  • Max out your 401(k) and cross your fingers that you’ll someday have “enough” to live on, without running out?
  • Take tax deductions now by putting money in retirement plans that can subject you to unknown future taxes later?
  • Tie up your dollars in accumulation vehicles that can’t be collateralized and pay penalties for using your assets before 59-1/2?

We think there’s a better way. Typical financial planning is “better than nothing” and will get you partway up the hill, but we want to show you how to reach the “mountaintops” of prosperity. Prosperity Economics shows you how to grow wealth with maximum financial flexibility and cash flow.
