About John Rickgarn
From an early age, John had worked hard, saved money, and “invested for the long term.” He opened an IRA at age 18, first contributed to a 401k at 19, and at one point contributed 15% of his earnings to his retirement accounts. All the “right things” were touted by David Bach, Suze Orman, and Dave Ramsey.
But in late 2014, John realized this path may not work. After all, both of his parents had died of cancer in their 50’s by the time he was 16. Why was he deferring so much of his income and much of his LIFE to a later date that wasn’t guaranteed?
In 2016, he stopped contributing to his IRA, cut his contributions to his 401k by 2/3rds, and bought his first investment property, a four-plex, via pulling money OUT of his Roth IRA for the down payment. By 2019, he left his high-paying sales job of 12 years to pursue real estate full-time.
Since then, he has expanded his real estate portfolio to four states and invested in stocks, options, cryptocurrency, notes, and real estate syndications.
In 2020, he started his own blog and website, www.wealthandfreedomnexus.com to share his journey and educate others on financial education for their financial freedom.
