Episode Details

Mitch Abel is the founder and CEO of Investment Current LLC. After retiring at the age of 62, he realized he hadn’t saved enough for retirement and faced the frightening possibility of outliving his savings.

Instead of accepting defeat, Mitch immersed himself in learning, investing, and trading. He overcame significant setbacks — including losing $150,000 — before rebuilding his portfolio and achieving financial independence. Today, through Investment Current, he helps others develop the knowledge, discipline, patience, and emotional control needed to become confident traders.

In this honest conversation, Mitch shares:

• Life in his 20s and an early career in social work and sales

• Being forced into retirement at 62 with only $400,000 saved

• Losing $150,000 while learning to trade

• The four pillars that turned everything around

• Why education, patience, and emotional control matter most

• How he rebuilt and created generational wealth

If you’re in your 20s thinking about money, long-term security, or the emotional side of investing, this episode offers hard-earned lessons from someone who learned the expensive way.
