"The number one reason people fail in business is the tendency to listen to what their friends and family think."

Market America gives people the opportunity to generate an ongoing income by following a proven system. We are building a lifestyle of time and financial freedom while helping others achieve their goals and dreams as well.

In February 1999, we made a decision to start our business through Market America. It’s funny how one good decision to build this business can erase a lifetime of bad decisions. Before Market America, I failed in many business ventures from home, so my wife, Leigh, was very skeptical and negative about Market America when she found out that I was evaluating the UnFranchise® opportunity. I started the business and never told my wife. However, she quickly found out, so I dragged her to a seminar in February 1999 in Appleton, WI, and the rest is history. After one year building our UnFranchise business, we matched her teaching income and she resigned from teaching. Two years later I left my bartending job. We have four beautiful children who have never known a life without Market America. We are both able to stay home and raise our children. Time is all we have and the one thing we can never get back! It’s priceless! We have continually watched our income increase dramatically in this volatile economy. We are very grateful for the opportunity! Thank you Market America! 

US Retirement Fund Running Out of Money - Do You Have Plan B?

On Monday, April 23rd, 2012, the trustees of the Social Security made the announcement that retiree funds will run out of money in 2033 and the Medicare funds will run out sooner in 2024.

The main reason given by the trustees for this shortfall is that real earnings by Americans will make slower growth. As a result tax revenues will decrease. Read CNBC report here.

In his website, "Being JR Ridinger - Inside the Mind of an Internet Mogul", JR Ridinger, founder of Market America, wrote about what this means when your Social Security runs out of money. In his April 24th article, "Will Social Security be there for You?", he wrote:

"For years we’ve bought into the concept that if we work hard and contribute to Social Security, it will be there to take care of us when we retire. Coupled with a decent savings strategy, many people have retired comfortably with the help of Social Security. But what if it was no longer here?"

"The truth is - those who plan on using Social Security to help sustain themselves during their retirement are in for a rude awakening."


"Do you think the 45-Year Plan will leave you in good enough shape to ride out retirement without Medicare and Social Security? I think not."
