Erosion.
A constant and continual threat to those living on a cliff edge.
Said in the words of this retiree (whose house is literally standing on the brink of total collapse and ruin every day):
“It’s my home. And I’ve built this, and I don’t want to give it up.” – Lance Martin, Hemsby resident (Norfolk, UK)
In this interview, our retiree speaks of many near misses that his humble abode has suffered – coming perilously close to utter destruction by the threat of numerous cliff falls.
As I watched the interview…
…I couldn’t help but liken the subject’s story to the billions of his age-peers the world around…
…passing into the financial cliff-edge, life-stage of retirement.
Accepting that the decades building up a nest egg for those post-employment years, once spent – can never be reclaimed…
…it becomes essential to have a plan for the preservation of value.
The game of retirement is a ‘lock in’.
Once in it, there’s very little room for manoeuvre to side-step emerging difficulties.
Imagine:
It takes some 40 years to gain enough financial momentum as an employee to hurdle the bar of retirement.

…how does a retiree suddenly find the physical thrust to:
- a) beat the rigidity of inertia, and;
- b) instantly spring out of the path of budgetary calamity and into fiscal safety?
Sadly, such a challenge is often a case of too little, too late for most who get caught by the retirement trap.
Couple that with the everpresent threat of tidal clawback (inflation = eroded, monetary value), clutching its way toward tearing down the pension pot…
…and retirees not only need the resilience to nimbly adjust their footing mid-retirement;
But also, there’s the need to continue to gain speed (value) throughout to overtake the threat of inflation.
And by definition, a fixed income: “…just doesn’t cut the mustard.”
Even with indexed-linked pensions that provide a buffer for inflation,
The real cost of living makes farce of such a fail-safe.
Therefore, if you’re still on the right side of retirement planning and are considering your options…
…NOW, is the time to begin re-planning.
And on that note – allow me to introduce poultry farming as the secret weapon for financial strength during your retirement years.
With the average growth rate of a pension pot being somewhere around 9%;
And poultry farms having the potential to 5x within 12 months…and start from a backyard operation to exceed into a fully-fledged commercial entity.,,
Many are drawn to the attraction of getting into poultry farm ownership to fund their post-employment years.
The best part?
There is zero capital needed to kick off.
Minimal space is required to start.
Instant startup potential.
This makes poultry farming the ideal speed-injection antidote to the poison of a pedestrian pension plan.
Do this now…
Reverse engineer your poultry farming post-employment successes
- Calculate how much income/capital you will need during your post-retirement.
- Define your annual income needed
- Define your lump sum capital needed
- Understand EBITDA and take an average EBITDA/EV multiple of 9.5 for small agricultural businesses
- Divide your lump sum capital needed by 9.5 to determine the target annual earnings
- Divide your target annual earnings by 0.06 (representing an average EBITDA margin of 6%, decimalised) to arrive at your poultry farm’s target annual revenue/turnover
- Determine what your average price per unit will be
- Divide your annual turnover by average price per unit to roughly determine targeted number of units sold per year.
Now, over to you…
Are you currently planning a poultry farming enterprise for retirement?
Have you already begun and need guidance for meeting your retirement financial goals?
Either way, I’d be interested to hear from you.
