A four to oh 50 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 4: one K is an employer sponsored plan that if you 51 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 4: work for a company, the company can offer a retirement 52 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 4: plan for you. Now, there's different types of retirement plans. 53 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 4: There's four oh three b's. There's TSP. If you're a 54 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 4: federal employee, it's the same thing pertains to a four 55 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 4: one K. It's a qualified plan, but it's just it's 56 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 4: named a thrift savings plan as opposed to a four 57 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 4: oh one K. There's four fifty seven plans. These are 58 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 4: all qualified retirement plans. But let's talk about four one 59 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 4: ks and also TSPs. 60 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: Let's so they make one thing very clear on all 61 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: the plans. Chris mentioned, these are attacks deferred retirement plants. 62 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: And what does that mean. It means you're putting money 63 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 2: away on a deferred basis, so that when you turn 64 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: fifty nine and a half you could start taking it out, 65 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: but then at age seventy two or seventy three, depending 66 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: on your birthdate, you have to start taking out the 67 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: required minimum distribution. But the problem is that it grows 68 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: tax deferred. And the problem really is Chris that they 69 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: don't know what the tax is going to be when 70 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: they get to that point, because yeah, you get the 71 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 2: tax deduction on the front end, but on the back end, 72 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: my goodness, you can get hit with a big tax. 73 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 74 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 4: So there's the pre which is the traditional four oh 75 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: one K, and then there's the WROTH four one K. Now, 76 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 4: the WROTH is where you don't get a tax deduction 77 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 4: on the front end and all that money that you 78 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 4: put in is tax free in the future. Now, it's 79 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 4: up to your employer to see or offer the WROTH 80 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: four to one K option, But a lot of employers 81 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 4: just do the traditional where sometimes they matched your contribution 82 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 4: up to a certain point, sometimes they don't, but also 83 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: they might have the four to one K WROTH, And 84 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 4: that's where you want to make sure that you're looking 85 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 4: into that. Go ask to your HR person and if so, 86 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 4: then you also want to ask them if they match 87 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 4: the Wroth contribution. So these are a lot of things 88 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 4: that we we're going to go over. But when we 89 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 4: talk about the mistakes people are making, people just don't 90 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: know what they don't know. So let me start with 91 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: something that shocks most everyone. Most people are losing money 92 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 4: in their form. Okay, every single month. They don't even 93 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 4: know it. There's big losses. They don't come they don't 94 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 4: just come from the market. It comes from decisions that 95 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 4: people are making quietly without realizing that long term consequences. 96 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 4: So if you're listening now, there's a real chance that 97 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 4: you're making one of these mistakes. 98 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: So let's try to fix them today. 99 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: And the best thing to do is give us a 100 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 2: call eight three to three Magi attacks because there are 101 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: ways that you can fix this problem, but you have 102 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: to be open and meet with someone to go over that. 103 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: So skipping the employee match number one walk away from 104 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: free money. That's something that people don't understand. Chris, that 105 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: there's a match and if the matches say five or 106 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: ten percent or whatever it is, take the match because 107 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: that's free money. 108 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: Right. 109 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's give an example. We do a lot of 110 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 4: federal employees. We help a lot of federal employe If 111 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 4: you're listening out there, we understand your benefits. So pick 112 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 4: up the phone and schedule time to meet with us. 113 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 4: Eight three three magi attacks. But I'll never forget this. 114 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 4: This is client because she was forty two years old, 115 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 4: but she started working as a federal employee at age twenty, 116 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 4: and they had the TSP and they match up to 117 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 4: five percent, and she was not. She was only putting 118 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 4: one percent away in so they were only matching one percent, 119 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: but she could have at least put the other four 120 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 4: percent to get five and then she would have a 121 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: heckle lot more there on free money. 122 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: And she didn't know it. And when we told her, 123 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: because we do a lot with the federal employees, she 124 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: was devastated because that's a lot of money that she 125 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: lost on exactly. 126 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 4: So skipping the employer match is quietly, quietly really affecting you. 127 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 4: Losing money over that mistake. Number two taking out four 128 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 4: one K loans. You know most people don't understand what 129 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 4: a loan is. Well, you can borrow from your four 130 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: on one K, but you have to pay it back 131 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: through payroll. But that's where it can get a little 132 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 4: dicey sometimes you know, you lose growth while the money 133 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 4: is gone. If you leave your job, it can become 134 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 4: instantly taxable. And most people have no clue. 135 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: And they don't know that until they get that ten 136 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: nine nine and they go, what's this? But what it 137 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: is is you borrow the money, you're not working there anymore, 138 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 2: and guess what you got to pay it back? 139 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing though, if they take it prior 140 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 4: to fifty nine and a half, then they're subject to 141 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 4: an early distribution penalty which is ten percent, which leads 142 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 4: us into mistake number three. 143 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: We're taking withdraws early. 144 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 2: Right, which exactly what you said, the ten percent penalty 145 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: plus taxes, and it shrinks long term retirement saving significantly. 146 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 2: Because look, every day we run into problem. So I 147 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: get it, and we get calls every day I need 148 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: money for this and I need money for that. And 149 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: that's fine, we get it, but you have to know 150 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 2: the rules going in that you have to pay it back, 151 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: and if you take it out and don't pay it back, 152 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: you got a tax and a penalty. Christen, that's what 153 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: people get shocked, you know, like what happens now? 154 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 3: So be careful well, that's the thing. 155 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 4: That's why it's so important to meet with us because 156 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 4: at MAGA Tax Advisor and Financial Group, we do a 157 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 4: lot of things you tax preparation, tax planning.

But then then when 183 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: you retire, Chris, they want to take money out because 184 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: they have to take the R and ds out and 185 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: now they have a bigger tax problem even though they 186 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: did get a tax deduction years ago. 187 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 4: Well, well, we'll get into that later on the show, 188 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 4: So stay tuned because there's a lot there. We want 189 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 4: to talk about how these accounts are infected with taxes. 190 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 4: So if your account is growing, it might be infected 191 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: with taxes and even more tax tax time bomb is 192 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 4: what we talk about, and that could be really hurting 193 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 4: you in the future. So these are things we're talking 194 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 4: about mistakes on your four to oh one K. Many 195 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 4: people have a savings vehicle. It's a great vehicle to save, 196 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 4: but you want to make sure that you're investing in 197 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 4: the right strategy, the right bucket. Maybe the rough form 198 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 4: okay is a better option for you, Maybe the traditional 199 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 4: maybe a combination of both. So that's why we urge 200 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 4: you to pick up the phone schedule time to meet 201 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 4: with us, because before you make these financial decisions, you 202 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 4: have to meet with someone. 203 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: Am I right exactly? And one thing that's very important too. 204 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: Be careful. Find out what the match is very important, 205 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: even if it's two percent or three percent, and put 206 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 2: up to the match so you have twice as much 207 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: as free money. I know it's taxable and it will be, 208 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: but at least take take that because otherwise put it 209 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 2: into a roth account roth IArray, which is a tax 210 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 2: free account. So if your employer has a rough a 211 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: four oh one k, take advantage of that because it's 212 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: tax free. You won't get the deduction. But boy, if 213 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: you let that money grow and I don't know if 214 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: they're going to give you a match, you'll find out. 215 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: But if they give you a match, that's free money. 216 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: That's it. 217 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 4: So pick up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. 218 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 4: Eight three three magi attacks.

And what I mean by that is 260 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 2: many of you have changed jobs over the years and 261 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: you know, just put the statement in the in the 262 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: draw and forgot about it. But every week someone comes 263 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: into our office shocked at what we find when we 264 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 2: pull up their old plans. So let's talk about why 265 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: forgotten accounts are so dangerous. 266 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 4: Chris, absolutely, Well, we're talking about the Form one K, 267 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 4: and how important is that many people have these accounts. 268 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 4: They might have the pretax, they'm going to have the 269 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 4: after tax, they don't know. Right, we talked about last segment, 270 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 4: the taking loans from it, taking the early distribution, the 271 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 4: ten percent early distribution penalty. My gosh, there's so much there. 272 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 4: But now we're going to jump into the mistake. Number 273 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 4: four is forgetting those old form ks. And you mentioned 274 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 4: it that. I mean many people come in we see 275 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 4: each and every day, gosh, week after week. These accounts 276 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 4: are unmonitored for years. No one's watching them. They're just 277 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 4: sitting there. They change jobs and they say, well, I've 278 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 4: changed jobs three, four or five times, and they get 279 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 4: all these accounts everywhere. Often they're higher fees than these accounts. 280 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 4: They don't even know what it is. And the investments 281 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 4: they rarely match their current goals. You know, what is 282 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 4: your risk tolerance? And many people are taking an aggressive 283 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 4: stance with their Form one K. Meanwhile, they might want 284 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 4: to be in a balanced portfolio. So these things we 285 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 4: see what do you see from them. 286 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: Well, that's the problem. They don't look at it. And 287 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 2: you just mentioned the biggest thing is what the risk 288 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: tolerance is and you have to have that looked at. 289 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 2: So get the time. Make the time to look at 290 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: these old form one k's because you may be surprised 291 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: that you can do something better. Now. Mistake number five 292 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: is rollover mistakes. Wow, this is the one that really 293 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: worries me because a single wrong move can trigger taxes 294 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: and direct rollovers prevent accidental cash outs. And listen, you 295 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 2: could do a rollover, but do what they call a 296 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 2: trustee to trust thee transfer, which means you don't touch 297 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: the money. They don't touch the money. And even if 298 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: you do have a check sent to you, Chris, you 299 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: have sixty days to do what with it? 300 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 4: Roll it over without a taxable event. But here's the thing, though, 301 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 4: you want to do it right. So when clients coming 302 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 4: to meet with us, if do you have three four 303 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,239 Speaker 4: one k's that are old It might be with Fidelity 304 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 4: or a Vanguard or an Empower or whatever it is. 305 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 4: He is some of the custodians that you might have 306 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 4: a four one K in account with. Maybe you don't remember, 307 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: maybe these are these accounts have been changed. It's so 308 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 4: important to make sure that as you move forward, they 309 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 4: come with you, don't leave them behind. So if you 310 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 4: have these accounts, pick up the phone. Let's consolidate them. 311 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 4: Let's show you how to consolidate into an IRA called 312 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 4: an individual retirement account or a ROTH IRA where it's after 313 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 4: tax account. So let's evaluate what you have because as 314 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 4: you mentioned at number one, mistake is forgetting about a 315 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 4: Number two mistake is taking it the wrong way. And 316 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 4: what we do at our clients when they come in 317 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 4: to meet with us, how do we show them to 318 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 4: roll it over without a taxable event. 319 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: Well, number one, we need your statement and that's sometimes 320 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: people I don't have my statement. Well, if you think 321 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: about where you used to work, you can always call 322 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 2: them and from hr they can give you a statement 323 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: and that's what we need. But we'll get on the 324 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: phone with you and actually call HRR with you to 325 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: find out what the account looks like and they'll tell you, well, 326 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: your account is still here. And then the answer that 327 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: we're looking for, can you do a rollover? And if 328 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: you can, it's a trustee to trustee roll over, Chris, 329 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: whether there is no tax, and I think most people 330 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 2: are afraid, well you know it's going to be taxable. Yeah, 331 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: it will be if you do it wrong. And what 332 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: I mean by that if you say, look, send me 333 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: a check and then you put it in your account, 334 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 2: you're going to get a ten ninety nine and you're 335 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: going to get early penalty withdrawal the whole thing. Why 336 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: would you do that? And now what you're talking about, 337 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: we combine these accounts into a better situation. Let it grow. 338 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: And if you have one, two or three different four 339 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: to one case, guess what, You've got a nice account 340 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 2: that you can put into one and put into one 341 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 2: where it might be better than what you have. 342 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 4: Now that's exactly right. So consolidation, I mean nowhere your 343 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 4: money is at.

Robert and Chris Maggie. 418 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Maggie Tax at Financial Show. My 419 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 2: name is Robert Maggie and I'm here with my son 420 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 2: Chris Maggie. And today we've been talking about common mistakes 421 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: about four oh one K. So let me kind of recap. 422 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: If you have a pen and a piece of paper, 423 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: write this down because these are very important. Number one, 424 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: skipping the employer match. We worry about that, taking out 425 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: four oh one K loans, mistake, Number three taking early 426 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: with drawals and forgetting old four oh one K. So 427 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: if you have an old four oh one K, let's 428 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 2: take a look at that. And the biggest one is 429 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 2: rollover mistakes because those are common mistakes and this happens 430 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 2: every day. So the biggest thing is we don't want 431 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 2: to see you in those situations because then it can 432 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 2: create more problems. So look, everyone worries about the market, 433 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 2: but the truth is far more dangerous because most retirees 434 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 2: are hurt more by neglect than by market crashes, and 435 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: also by the five topics we talked about now. But 436 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 2: the biggest threat to your four one K they're hidden 437 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: and they grow quietly over time. So Chris, let's expose 438 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: them because these are really important as well. 439 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 4: You're right, and we're talking about the silent portfolio killers. Gosh, 440 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 4: right there, the silent portfolio killers. There are things that 441 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 4: keep us up at night. 442 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 3: You know. 443 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 4: Mistake number six, my dad mentioned the first five. Mistake 444 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 4: Number six is not increasing contributions. You think about this. 445 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 4: Your income rises, your savings should as well. And we 446 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 4: see this many times as people forget, they get an autopilot. 447 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 4: They think what's happening now is going to be the 448 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 4: same thing for the rest of their life, which is 449 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 4: not true. That's why people have to adapt. People have 450 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 4: to make sure they understand what they have. You have 451 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 4: to work with the right people, the right advisors, to 452 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,479 Speaker 4: make sure that they're keeping you in line, and you're 453 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 4: keeping yourself in line in a lot of good ways 454 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 4: if you can. And that's why it's so important to 455 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 4: pick up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. 456 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 4: Eight three three Maggie techs because we can help you 457 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 4: put together an income plan, a distribution plan, a roth 458 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 4: conversion plan, an investment plan, and a state plan with 459 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 4: the attorneys to make sure that you have everything controlled 460 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 4: and where the way you want it. 461 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 3: Eight three three Magi attacks. 462 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 2: And you make a good point there because think about 463 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 2: this for new people that are starting out. Now, you 464 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 2: know your savings should you know, rise with your income. 465 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: So when you start out and you get x amount 466 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 2: of dollars in a year from now, you get more, 467 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 2: take that portion and put it into the four oh 468 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: one k so because it compounds and you get more 469 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 2: when you retire. So that's how you build the savings, 470 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 2: and you know that's how you should do it. So 471 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: when your income rises, just make a note your saving 472 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: should too. That's a mistake them. A seven that we 473 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: talk about leaving before vesting. You could walk away from 474 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 2: pre employer money if you leave before it's vested. Chris 475 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: and I don't think people understand how that works. 476 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 4: Well, that's just thing. The vesting schedule is kind of 477 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 4: talk about it. If you have a three year vesting. 478 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 4: Some companies say, well you can get all there of 479 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 4: their matching if you stay the number of years. It 480 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 4: could be a three or five or seven year. Maybe 481 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 4: some companies have a ten year vesting. I don't know 482 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 4: it's beending. It's depending on their plan documents. That's why 483 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 4: it's very important to look at the plan documents. You 484 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 4: can have access to that if you ask your HR area, 485 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,959 Speaker 4: because they'll disclose that to you. It's what has to happen. 486 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 4: But anyway, if you know you're going to leave an 487 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 4: employer and you can't wait another two weeks to get 488 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 4: fully vested, then you're missing money. So it's so important 489 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 4: to understand the rules of what your forming K your 490 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 4: current employer is offering you exactly. 491 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: And that's important because you don't want to lose that money. 492 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: So don't walk away from free employe money. And you 493 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: know how you do this when we make the call, 494 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 2: we actually ask them, you know, is he vested or 495 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 2: she vested? And when are they going to be vested 496 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 2: because you want to know that. So the other mistake 497 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 2: is too much company stock. And I'm going to let 498 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 2: you talk about this because job and retirement tied to 499 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 2: the same risk. So if you have too much stock 500 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: in a company, talk about what we've seen, Chris and 501 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: how This works. 502 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 4: Many many people we've seen who have maybe worked for 503 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 4: a fortune five hundred company, they have company stock. And 504 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 4: what we see is they have stock outside their form, Okay, 505 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 4: then they have stock within the form, Okay, then they 506 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 4: have the employee stock option plan. So when we look 507 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 4: at this as a complete plan, a lot of people 508 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 4: have too much company stock. And I know you work there, 509 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 4: I know you believe in the company, but a lot 510 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 4: of people don't have the proper diversification. And that's why 511 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 4: we talk about buckets. Even when we get into advanced 512 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 4: tax planning strategies with NUA net unrealized appreciation with company stock, 513 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 4: there's ways to get that stock out of a company 514 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 4: plan in the most tax efficient way. So if you're 515 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 4: listening and you understand NUA, pick up the phone, schedule time, 516 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 4: the needle lists. We can help you with that. But 517 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 4: not only that is diversification. People have no idea where 518 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 4: to invest the money and they're taking too much risk. 519 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 4: So if you have too much stock in your current 520 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 4: employer plan, pick up the phone, schedule time the meal 521 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 4: with us. Let's diversify that portfolio. Let me show you 522 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 4: how to do an income plan and also an investment 523 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 4: plan where you can keep your stock, but make sure 524 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 4: you're properly diversified. 525 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 3: Eight three to three Maggie Tacks. 526 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 2: And you mentioned something about risk because risk levels drift 527 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 2: without you noticing, meaning maybe you're in too much risk 528 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 2: like Chris mentioned, and maybe you need to sit down 529 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 2: and rebalance your portfolio because there are certain portfolios again 530 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 2: and you can talk about this that could help you, 531 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 2: meaning you know, if you're in low risk, meeting and 532 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: risk or higher risk, where are you because like Chris 533 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 2: said before, life changes and things change, situations change, so 534 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 2: your risk also may change. How important is that? 535 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 3: Totally? 536 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 4: And that's you mentioned a good point, not rebalancing. Most 537 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 4: people just don't look at it once they set it up. 538 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 4: And if you are that person today, that's fine. Raise 539 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 4: your hand in the car, raise your hand as you walk, 540 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 4: and it's okay, no one's watching you. But here's what 541 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 4: you do. You pick up the phone and schedule time 542 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 4: to meet with us. Let's put together your own risk 543 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 4: tolerance today. Let's see what it is, and then let's 544 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 4: match it with your the way you want to invest, 545 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 4: the way you need to invest. So most people just 546 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 4: don't know what they don't know. But we can help them. 547 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 4: Eight three three Magie tacks. So if you're out there, 548 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 4: I have a form on K and you're making these mistakes, 549 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 4: no problem. Now is the time to correct it. You 550 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 4: can't start over, but you can start right now. Eight 551 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 4: three three Maggie Tax. 552 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: So we have a few more to talk about. But 553 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: just remember what we talked about not increasing contributions. How 554 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: important that is, and let's sit down and talk about it. 555 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 2: Leaving before vesting. If you're going to leave, make sure 556 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: you have your vested so you have all the money 557 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 2: that's entitled to you. What about too much company stock? 558 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 2: Sit down and let's take a look at your portfolio. 559 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 2: And this is important to a lot of people. And 560 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 2: then not rebalancing. Some people don't even know right now 561 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: that are listening or what we're talking about, because you 562 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 2: know why your four on one K company is not 563 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: going to do all of this for you. Am I Right? 564 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 4: Well, let's just yeah, let's stop right here. So let's 565 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 4: pump the brakes a little bit. If you have a 566 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 4: form one K, people contribute. Let's make it simple. People contribute. 567 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 4: Are you getting the match? Are you not getting the match? 568 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 4: These things that we have to look at But if 569 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 4: you are contributing, you have auto pay, you get paid 570 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 4: every month, money goes into your form one K. Do 571 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 4: you know where it's invested? Do you know what they're 572 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 4: doing with it? Is it rebalanced? Do you have too 573 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,239 Speaker 4: much company stock? Are you increasing the contributions as your 574 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 4: increase in your pay increases? But what about the fees? 575 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 4: Are you mistake number ten? Are you ignoring the fees? 576 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 4: Because even one percent difference can cost six figures over time? 577 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 4: So what are you doing about it? These are things 578 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 4: we're talking about. So if someone is in the net position, 579 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 4: what do they do? What can they do? What's the 580 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 4: easiest thing to do If you have a four one K. 581 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 4: People might be flustered right now, might be confused, But 582 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 4: what's the easiest step to take. 583 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 2: To do exactly what we're doing on the show. Sit 584 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 2: down and get serious about it, because a four to 585 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 2: one K is just not a four to one K 586 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 2: or just not a four point fifty seven or a TSP. 587 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: It's a retirement account that you have to pay attention 588 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: to because all the things that we're talking about. Go 589 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 2: back and ask your advisor, go back and ask your 590 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: your your four to one K company. These questions, write 591 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 2: them down. If you need a list, give me a call. 592 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: I'll be glad to give them to you. But ask 593 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,239 Speaker 2: them these questions because you need the answers, and if 594 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 2: there's anything that should be done, they should be done now, 595 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: not later, because Chris, a lot of people tell us, well, 596 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 2: you know, I never get the call. You're not going 597 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 2: to get the call. They don't have any loyalty to 598 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 2: you to tell you what we're telling you now. And 599 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: that's the reason why we're different than other people. We 600 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 2: get this all the time. I have a four to 601 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: one k I have I left a job ten years ago. 602 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 2: Was it still there? You know? Is it my money? 603 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 2: Of course hits your money. If you made a contribution, 604 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: then yes, and maybe there's a match that the title 605 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: to you. When would you want to know? So, Chris, 606 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: the simple answer to your question is come in and 607 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: meet with us eight three to three, Maggie TACs.

Maggie Tax and 694 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 4: Wealth Advisors. We are to help in a lot of 695 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 4: different ways. We call it the Maggie Plan. Today we're 696 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 4: talking about the four oh one k and the mistakes 697 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 4: that can haunt your family. And throughout today's show, there's 698 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 4: a lot of mistakes, but what I'm talking about to 699 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 4: tell you is non exaggeration. Your beneficiary form overrides your 700 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 4: will every single time. So let's dive into this that 701 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 4: because this is huge. How many times after all the 702 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 4: mistakes we uncovered in the first three segments, this is 703 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 4: one of the top ones. 704 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 2: Well it is, and the beneficiary form like Chris said, 705 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 2: overrides your will every single time. So if it's outdated, 706 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 2: then you got a problem. If it's wrong, you have 707 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 2: a problem. And if someone passed away, your money will 708 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: still go to whoever is on that form. And think 709 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 2: about it was years ago that you put someone on 710 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: that form. Maybe you got divorced or separated, or someone 711 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 2: passed away. This is the mistake that destroys families and 712 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 2: it's one hundred percent preventable. And you know why because 713 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 2: most advisors don't sit down and say, let's talk about 714 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,719 Speaker 2: a beneficiary review. I don't have time. I don't have time. Oh, 715 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 2: yes you do, because you're going to have no time 716 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 2: if the beneficiary form curse is not correct. 717 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 4: That's exactly right, because we don't want to go through probate. 718 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,239 Speaker 4: Many people don't understand what that process is. And you know, 719 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 4: we'll have a show on this at some point, but 720 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 4: at the end of the day, just just google what 721 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 4: probate means and how long it takes and what the 722 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 4: costs are. Again, do you want to go that down 723 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 4: that route? Well, if you don't have to, why would 724 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 4: you want to. So let's continue on with the mistakes 725 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 4: that can haunt your family and your Form O K 726 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 4: and mistake number eleven is not considering the raw form. Okay, 727 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 4: we touched on this early at the beginning, but tax 728 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 4: free income later can be a massive advantage for you. 729 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 4: So many people these old form k's the company's member. 730 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 4: It gets up to your plan administrator to put together 731 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 4: what they want want to offer you as an employee. 732 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 4: So maybe years ago you only had the traditional side 733 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 4: of the phone K, but many people have opened the 734 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 4: door to the WROTH for oh one K exactly. 735 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: And I am running commercials on TV on a radio 736 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: about ROTH because this is something as a tax person 737 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 2: we see all the time. And you have to start 738 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 2: thinking about taking that tax deferred plan and making a 739 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: tax free from a strategic rollout. And this is what 740 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 2: Chris and I do because you want tax free income 741 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 2: and you want to reduce the tax as much as 742 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 2: you can now. So this is something that we can 743 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 2: help you with a three to three Maggie tax. And 744 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 2: another thing outdated beneficiary is this is the one that 745 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: Chris mentioned before that we see all the time. One 746 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 2: wrong name can permanently misdirect your wealth. And how many 747 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 2: times have we seen that in different variations well this 748 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 2: uar that word, use it, you know, let's just bring 749 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 2: it up again. Misdirect your wealth. Oh my gosh, that's 750 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 2: so powerful because you think you have things lined up, 751 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: but again your wealth disappear years and goes down the 752 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 2: wrong path. It's misdirection. We don't want that. 753 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 3: So what do you do? 754 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 4: You pick up the phone, your schedule, time to meet 755 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 4: with us.

You're moving forward, but those plans are staying behind. 759 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 4: Don't let that happen to you. Let them come with you. 760 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 4: Maybe you can consolidate, but those outdated beneficiaries in the 761 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 4: forms and misdirecting your wealth is so important. So that's 762 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 4: mistake number twelve. Mistake number thirteen is not consolidating your 763 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 4: old accounts. And we mentioned this prior. You know, when 764 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 4: you consolidate means you put things together right, so simplify 765 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 4: as management. It reduces errors and make things simple, and 766 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 4: it also ensures that your strategy stays aligned with what 767 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 4: you want it to do.

You know, do you 771 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 4: invest in the traditional side, do you invest in the 772 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 4: roth side?
