TimeOut With The SportsDr. Podcast


Jan 9, 2023

A good quote says, "the only person who will take care of the older you someday is the younger you today." When we are young, we frequently put off thinking about retirement and prefer to worry about it later. However, our strength will not forever serve us well. Nevertheless, if we desire our future to be more promising, we must thoughtfully prepare for it. 

 

Moreover, a self-directed IRA is a recommended type of individual retirement account that allows you to save for retirement with assets that are off-limits for conventional IRAs. Thus, we must seek a more profound knowledge of it since many individuals who don't utilize self-directed IRAs are unaware of it. We must also surround ourselves with like-minded people who are willing to share their failures and successes.  Their journey can teach us vicariously to learn and grow in life, knowledge, and skills. As our guest speaker says, "financial literacy is not taught in schools, but our future depends on understanding it."

 

Kaaren Hall is a single mother, Certified IRA Services Professional (CISP), Self-Directed IRA Professional (SDIP), CA Real Estate License, founder of Orange County Real Estate Investors Association, and the CEO of UDirect IRA Services. These services help thousands of Americans invest their IRA outside the stock market into real estate, land, private notes & more to improve their financial future. Kaaren discovered a strategic way to put her 20+ years in mortgage banking, real estate, and property management to use. Hall brings her full passion to educating Americans about the little-known investment vehicle. She has educated tens of thousands of investors and professionals on building wealth by taking control of self-directed IRAs. Through UDirect IRA, she has guided thousands of Americans through diversifying their investments using self-directed IRAs.

 

In this special episode with Kaaren Hall, we'll learn about the things concerning Individual Retirement Accounts. Tune in today as we discover how important it is to understand where to correctly put the hard-earned money that can better serve you in the future.
