Retirement is what people often look forward to when they wish they weren’t at work. That’s the model that they learned as they grew up. You work until about age 65 and then you can cut free and do what you want in your golden years.

That model has a lot of assumptions built into it. One is often unspoken but it’s the foundation. It can change everything that you’ve known about retirement. That unspoken foundation is that retirement is a function of finances, not age.

This can work for you or it can work against you. Many people in this economy are finding this out the hard way. They are having to postpone their retirement, sometimes indefinitely. Others are being forced back into the labor market.

How do you get the function of finances to work for you? One of the easiest ways is to work from home in a home based business. When you make money from home, you enjoy a whole host of benefits. You can have more control over your income. You can save a lot on your taxes. And, you can “retire” at any age.

Not all home based businesses are equal though. Some are based on linear income which means if you stop, so does the income. You need a residual income business. That’s where you build the income up and it continues to come in even if you go away on an extended vacation.

Retirement nowadays is not dictated by age, it’s dictacted by money. Some people will not be able to retire at 65, 68 or 70 because of money.

Others, who have achieved lifestyle freedom, can ‘retire’ at any age, 25,45 or 55. The secret is to get your residual income set up to cover your lifestyle choices. Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, teaches that concept in his games, Cashflow for Kids, Cashflow 101 and Cashflow 202.

Continuity programs are one of the biggest trends in internet marketing circles now. It addresses one of the biggest flaws of internet marketing – each sale is a one time shot of money. You have to continue to sell different things to keep the income coming in. After all, how many copies of the latest, greatest ebook does the average person need? One!

The way to lifestyle freedom is residual income. This is what the continuity programs, which is another term for membership sites, are looking to provide. Internet marketers have realized that they either change what they are doing or they will be like a rat running on an exercise wheel the rest of their life.

In network marketing, we have been enjoying residual income since the beginning. It’s the main appeal. Plus, the market is bigger than internet marketing since not only can we market online, but offline as well.

We can also retire and have our network marketing business fund our retirement with a renewable source of income. You have to constantly supply a membership site with enough new value to keep people renewing their membership.

First, the bad news. There was an article in my paper recently that stated women earn less, save less, live longer and face an uncertain retirement.

Now, the good news. Women often are the top earners in network marketing. They network more. They also see network marketing as paying the same as men for the same performance. Women are usually more security driven than men and see the real security benefits of developing a residual income.

According to the Direct Selling Association (DSA), 85% of network marketers are women.

The main thing for women to do to protect their retirement is to become more active in the handling of their finances. For many women, starting their own home based business can give them the equality, and security they deserve.

The news today has been focusing on the economic roller coaster that has been happening on the stock market. Most people who have retirement accounts are invested in stocks through mutual funds. Many people have seen a lot of their account evaporate recently.

These retirement accounts are to fund your income stream after your job stops funding it. This sets up the race to see which runs out first, your life or your money.

A network marketing business can fund that income stream and is a ‘renewable source of income’. You don’t have to worry about the ups and downs of Wall Street. For more information, check out my site at StartLateFinishWealthy.com
