10 Years Ago, Jacinta Had $0. Today, She is the Happiest Average Retiree I Know.
<p>This is provocative.</p>
<p>I don’t mean Jacinta’s story is provocative. Her emphasis is.</p>
<p><em>“There is nothing wrong with the Average Retiree… as long as the average is high enough.”</em></p>
<p>I am unconvinced. To be clear, I am not sold on the idea of average.</p>
<p>Average is where financial games are played. And we can get burned if we are not careful. Let me explain.</p>
<p>Imagine a country with 2 citizens. You were told that the average salary in that country is $10,000. At first glance, you would be impressed.</p>
<p><em>“Wow, the country did a good job. Their citizens make a good living!”</em></p>
<p>That is a distortion.</p>
<p>And you never find out until you realize that,</p>
<ul>
<li>1 citizen is the C.E.O. of a Multi-National Company earning $20,000 monthly.</li>
<li>The other citizen is unemployed and is netting $0.</li>
<li>The average salary is $10,000.</li>
</ul>
<p>The idea of average can be deceiving.</p>
<h1><strong>However, the Average is Beautiful When You Start from $0.</strong></h1>
<p>This, I agree.</p>
<p>It depends on our baseline.</p>
<p>Jacinta had a sea-level baseline 10 years ago. To her, fighting for average rocks.</p>
