How Anyone Can Build a pipeline Of

Smart People’s 
50-Year Pipeline Plan 
Missing picture 
Downside to the 50-Year Plan 
Okay, I just told you the good news about the 50-
year pipeline plan – virtually every working family 
can build a million-dollar pipeline if they start 
saving monthly and allowing their investments to 
compound over time. 
But the bad news is that most people want to enjoy 
the benefits of a pipeline today – instead of having 
to wait 20… 30… 40… or even 50 years! 
I admit it – I want to enjoy the finer things in life 
today, not half a century down the road! Yes, I 
believe in building long-term pipelines. I have 
several under construction. But the truth is, I’d 
rather spend money than save it. I like the things

money can buy. I expect you feel the same way, 
too. 
I enjoy a great meal in a first-class restaurant. 
I like taking my family on ski vacations and cruises 
– we’ve created some of our best memories during 
vacations. 
I love the smell of new car interiors. 
I like driving a big Mercedes more than a small 
Mazda. 
I want to use my cell phone any time of the day, not 
just evenings and weekends when the rates are 
cheaper. 
And I’d rather spend $20 going to a hit movie as 
soon as it’s out, rather than waiting three months so 
I can rent it for three bucks. 
Here’s the bottom line: Long-term pipelines are 
essential for people who want to enjoy a worry-free 
retirement. That’s why everyone should build 50-
year pipeline. 
But let’s get real – do you really want to wait 50 
years to enjoy the benefits of a pipeline? Not me!
I’m willing to make sacrifices to build my 
retirement pipeline. But I don’t want to have to live 
like a monk for 50 years in order to do it! 
I want to live my dreams right now, while I’m still 
young and the kids are at home. I don’t want to 
wait until I’m 65 or 70 to start living my dreams – 
like the scuba diver in the opening story. I’m sure 
you feel the same.
