Retirement accounts like 401Ks and IRAs are staples of traditional financial planning. But what if they aren't all they're cracked up to be?

In this episode, Nate lays out three compelling reasons to reconsider retirement accounts…

First, they kill creativity. Money locked away can't be used for entrepreneurial endeavors with more potential.

Second, retirement accounts breed uncertainty. Your money is vulnerable to unpredictable market swings and future tax policy changes.

Finally, their rates of return are insignificant. Especially after fees, retirement accounts may inch your money forward at a less-than-inspiring pace. If you want to maximize control and minimize uncertainty, it may be time to rethink retirement planning. 

This episode will have you look at retirement accounts in a new light.
