Most workers in the U.S. retire between the ages of 60 and 65.

So what you’ll read next might come as a surprise:

The average 50-year-old has less than $50,000 saved for retirement…

And 45% of Americans have nothing saved at all. Zero!

What’s your situation? Do you have enough?

A few years ago, a middle-aged guy named Jeremy heard about a new start-up.

He didn’t fully understand what the company did, but he thought it had potential—so he made a small investment in it.

Long story short: every $5,000 he invested turned into $1.25 million.

Today, I’ll tell you…

This past weekend, I had the best burger in New York City.

Thick, rare and juicy. A fresh slice of ripe tomato and onion. And a charbroiled bun.

I couldn’t believe my ears...

I’d been enjoying a pre-flight cocktail at the George Bush Airport in Houston, casually chatting with some folks at the bar. Most of them were well-dressed professionals in their late 50s.

Let me tell you about a guy I know.

Based on his investment track record, you’d think he’d be broke by now.

For example, on one investment he made, he lost more than $25 million.

More recently, he made 21 different investments—and almost half of them went belly-up.

Nearly three years ago, Matt and I set out on a mission:

We aimed to teach everyday investors how to make money in early-stage investing.

From the very beginning, naysayers said it couldn’t be done.

Thankfully we ignored them.

More than 100,000 investors have now subscribed to our free and…

The other night, Matt and I were having drinks with one of our investors at the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis.

Somehow, we got onto the topic of regrets.

As we sipped our cocktails, each of us spun a tale or two about a lost love, or a…

We often write about the extraordinary returns you could make in early-stage investing.

Tom Sawyer was a clever boy:

After skipping school to go swimming, he had to paint a fence as punishment.

But instead of doing the work himself, he got others to do it for him.

Today I’ll show you how to use this same strategy to invest in start-ups:
