Breaking Free from the 401(k) Trap

The Cash-Flow Strategy to Live Life on Your Terms

By: Stephen McFarlane

Narrated by: Stephen McFarlane

For decades, the “safe path” to retirement has been the same: work hard, pour money into your 401(k), and hope it’s enough at 65.

But what if this conventional wisdom is the very thing holding you back?

In The 401(k) Liquidity Trap, Stephen McFarlane reveals how the retirement system keeps millions locked into accounts they can’t access, invested in ways they don’t control, and trapped in a plan that wasn’t designed for their freedom.

Through biblical wisdom, real-life experience, and proven financial principles, you’ll discover how to:

• Escape the limitations of the 401(k)
• Build wealth through cash flow, not just net worth
• Apply faith-based and practical strategies for lasting financial freedom
• Reclaim your money, your future, and your ability to serve God, family, and community with impact

This book is more than financial advice—it’s a roadmap to freedom. You’ll learn why net worth alone isn’t enough, why “waiting until retirement” is a trap, and how you can start designing your own financial path today.
