despite all the talk about the importance of saving for retirement, a new report from franklin templeton shows fewer people are saving for their golden years. even though there is an uptick in salaries. joining us to talk about it this morning are issue ashton and nick strobelt. referred to as southern nevada's retirement brothers.

here again? welcome back, guys. >> happy to be back. so exciting. thanks for having us. >> a pleasure. >> you want to talk more about the iphone 7. >> no, we -- >> be up at midnight buying the new iphone. >> save for retirement. >> let that gain a bunch of compounded interest the next 30 years or keep giving a company millions of your dollars for no -- >> i think that's -- there will be a lot of people online tonight tonight, not contributing to their 401(k). >> is this why there is the uptick in salary but the money is going straight to apple? >> it's all apple. they got so much cash that apple alone will restore the entire social security program in about 20 years. we can count on that. we don't have to count on our own contributions.

>> all right. we're flushing out the new apple announcement as you can tell. but speaking of people spending money and being optimistic let's talk about planning for retirement. and are people optimistic when -- >> not really, no. they're not optimistic, because they don't have the confidence in their own ability to save. only 50% of americans right now are saving -- a single penny saved for retirement. >> wow. >> so one half of americans have zero, no dollars, no pennies, nothing. there is no money saved for retirement. and so if you follow that rabbit down the rabbit hole, how are people going to have any income? pensions are gone. do either of you have a pension? and that's okay. because unless you work for the state, unless you work for the federal government, most private companies don't offer a pension. if you don't have a pension, and half of americans aren't saving for retirement -- am i the only one doing the math here? social security, say $2,300 a

what social security would pay. ask yourself could you live on 2,000 to $2,500 a month? and that's a big problem. it's coming and i don't think enough people are doing anything about it. >> it's beyond instilling confidence because you can be confidence and not be ready. how do we get people confident and ready? >> get people confident. come on. fix this. >> okay. buy the iphone. you're a hater. that's okay. i want him to convince me not to buy the iphone. >> i don't think anything i can say will convince you not to buy it. it's providing education to people so they know we need to save because the future is not going to look good for us if we keep going on the current path. you know, if you look at the lifestyle of most people, they maybe have a couple kids, buy a house, all their money is going into that. and then the neighbors have nice car that they want to keep us r

get to 50, 60, they look at their bank account and say hey, i am really late. i got to do something. and by that time, it's not quite too late for most people if you are aggressive at that point, just really tough. you have to be disciplined but you can still get there. >> you're helping people clear the air and get a laser focus on what they should be doing. >> to help people get optimistic. a book is a book. this is a great book to start. but as soon as someone makes the my retirement, my financial situation in the future serious enough to get a book and crack the cover,er that's at least the first step. the next step comes i'm going to start putting in $20 a month. >> apply the can into. >> start doing something. this is a good book, tells you what type of financial strategist are the best to get you through to retirement. so that is where we feel like this book and that's why we're offering it to viewers. >> this is a great first step. you have to commit to the learning process.

the homes, fix them up, put them back on the market for sale. getting a loan for these types of properties is challenging if not impossible. and most home buyers don't -- they don't want to buy these homes, and they can't. so that's where the real estate investor like myself is beneficial to come in and buy the home for cash. >> you do go in there and fix it up. >> yes. >> you have the money, don't have to worry about the lender saying you have to get this and this f in cash so you can take care of it on your own. >> right. >> does the seller have to pay real estate commission. >> there is noel rues tait commissions on the homes that i buy, and i pay all the closing costs, as well. >> it's a two party purchase? >> that's right. >> how fast can you purchase a property? there is a lot of people need it like yesterday. >> right. i've actually purchased homes in three days before. >> no kidding. what's the average?

situation. every seller, every home is unique, but if theeler does need to close quickly i have the ability to do so. so it's based on the seller's situation and their time frame, not mine. so we make sure that we're answering the needs of the sellers. >> of course. if the homeowner is watching and wondering whether or not they should sell, sell for cash, what's the process? how do they get the ball rolling? >> the best way is call my office for a no obligation cash of the first step is just give me a call at my office, and we'll do an evaluation, make you a cash offer. the second step is to go ahead and agree upon a purchase price, sign a purchase agreement, and the third step is then go ahead and close the sale at a third party title and escrow company. that's important because a lot of homeowners might be afraid that they're not going to get the cash. so everything is done through a

and they're insured to get their cash profits that way. >> i can assume homeowners that are using this program are pretty thankful this exists. if you need it yesterday, trying to sell it the old-fashioned method that can take a long time. >> it can. and one situation we had with a gentleman who had cancer, and he needed to move very quickly back to chicago in order to go through his treatment. an he had a lot of belongings on the property, and i told him i said we can make this very easy for you. we'll buy your home. we don't care about the condition. you don't have to make any fix ups. no repairs. and we'll give you the cash. we actually did close that one in three days. i told him leave all the belongings you do not want in the property. we'll take care of them for you. and he was just able to take
