The number of people claiming unemployment benefit has soared by 856,500 to over 2 million months, according to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), after the UK had recorded record numbers of people in work. Add this to over 6 million on furlough and 2 million self-employed claiming the bounce back loan or other support programmes we now have 10 million economically inactive workers in the UK.

Millions of people face a bleak future post-Coronavirus lockdown, as businesses disappear and the job furlough scheme comes to an end. However, life doesn’t have to end because of lockdown! You can join thousands of ordinary people who have increased their income and added streams of new income during this period.

Millions of people, or over 80% of the population, will either retire in poverty or not be able to afford to retire at all. What’s your strategy?

Quit the rat race and retire early

You can learn how to build a second income, acquire cash flow generating assets using leverage in order to quit the rat race and become financially free. This crisis has taught us that the only way to be truly financially free is to build your own source of passive and semi-passive income, rather than working on someone else’s passive income.
