I think a lot of folks get confused 46 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: about income planning. So we're going to talk about why 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: income planning isn't just for retirees. It's for everyone listening 48 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: to today's show, whether you're young, or middle aged or retired, 49 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: you have to start thinking about income planning. How aligning 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: income with life goals creates financial clarity. Again, many people 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 2: don't think about, you know, longevity about you know, you're 52 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: in your forties. I'm older obviously, But if you start 53 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: young and you start putting a plan together, that's what 54 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: income planning is about. And I want to talk about 55 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: common myths that hold people back from planning effectively. I 56 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: don't have time, I'm not making enough money. You know, Chris, 57 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: you talk about this all the time. And when you 58 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: were younger, and I know when I was younger, I 59 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: used to cut grass, I used to you know, shovel snow, 60 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: and I used to get twenty bucks or twenty five dollars, 61 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: and my dad would say, you've got to put and 62 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: you've got to put something away. Take five dollars, put 63 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: it away, ten dollars, put it away, and just put 64 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: it away and forget about it like you never got it. 65 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: And I think the mistake that people make is that 66 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: they spend. They spend, they spend. 67 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: And now, as you and I know, I've been doing 68 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: this for over thirty years, how many people we see 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: that do not plan for retirement and are not ready 70 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 2: to retire where they think they got a work pissed 71 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: a certain age because they just didn't plan. And I 72 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: think Chris, for you, you're a young guy, and for 73 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: young people out there, you have to start somewhere well. 74 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: As just said, so you know when you're discipline and 75 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: I know, life happens, right, you have kids, you have 76 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 3: a job. People, a lot of people are moving jobs 77 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: and they have old form one CA's which you need 78 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 3: to roll these old forone on cas new Ira and 79 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: we can show you how to do that. So if 80 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: you have a a couple of different old form one case, 81 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: we can show you. But in coomplaining is start thinking 82 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: about your own paychecks and play checks. That's the biggest thing. 83 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: And that's some of the myths that people have. Would 84 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: you just say, you know, you have to keep up 85 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: with some of the expenses, and you have to pay 86 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: a mortgage and our card payment, and life happens. I 87 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: get it. But if you could just understand, if you're 88 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: early enough and you're young enough, put money away consistently. 89 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: You know, you try to live off of one person's income, 90 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: but if that doesn't happen, but then you need to 91 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 3: live off of both. But you still can try to 92 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: find to put money away in a bucket because it's 93 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: you need to create your own income plan in the future. 94 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 3: And if you're about to retire or you're retired, and 95 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 3: if you have these buckets that are just piles of money, 96 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: you need to turn it into an income stream. So 97 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: the power is so important with your future income and 98 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: you need to have a purpose to do it. And 99 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 3: while you're saving, put that money away. But when you 100 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: have the buckets, let's create an income stream. 101 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: And one thing that I would use, it's a habit, 102 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: and it's a habit that you have to do. 103 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 4: Like you brush your teeth every day, you take a shower. 104 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: That's a habit. 105 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: It's the same thing with saving, Chris, I mean your 106 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: daughter and your son. Give an example, my granddaughter or 107 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 2: your daughter seve years old, and I said to her yesterday, 108 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: what do you do when you get money? She says, 109 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: I put it in my piggy bank. I said, what 110 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 2: does your brother do? Oh, he spends it on baseball cards? 111 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 2: I said, does he save? She says no, not exactly. 112 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: So there's a perfect example. And this is coming from 113 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 2: your kids. This is the truth. Your Your daughter's a 114 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 2: she's a thrill. I mean, she's I save it. She said, 115 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 2: it goes in my piggy bank. So what what what 116 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: example does that set? 117 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 4: You know? 118 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: Well, that's just it the discipline. You know, she's seven, right, 119 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 3: but that's just her mentality. She doesn't want to want 120 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: to spend it. She keeps it. But you got my 121 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: son who wants to spend on everything he's got. So 122 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 3: what do you do. You have to have a discipline approach, right, 123 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: And that's why when you're early on, try to save 124 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 3: as much as you can. But when you're at the 125 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: point you need to create income buckets. 126 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 2: Well stay with that for a second, because people don't 127 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: know how much to save. That's a big question you 128 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 2: and I get all the time. And if you use 129 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: your age minus one hundred where you can start putting 130 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: money into safe investments or even part into a savings account, 131 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: and then as you get older and time goes on, 132 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: you could start bumping that up and then it becomes 133 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: a lot of money. 134 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 3: That's right, you know, in time, time is great when 135 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 3: you have the value of time and the interest rates 136 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 3: and a compounding interest. We can show you how to 137 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: create those buckets and invest those buckets. So diversifying income 138 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 3: streams and building financial resilience is as important as putting 139 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: money away. You know, you want to explore active income 140 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: sources and also passive income sources. Do you have rental properties, 141 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: do you have interest dividends or your investments giving you 142 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 3: the income you want? Or is it from social security 143 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 3: or a pension. These are things that we have to 144 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: talk about. So when you come in to meet with us, 145 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: we can put together an income plan for you. You know, 146 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 3: what about what about side hustles or you know, putting 147 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: money getting money from side investments. It could be maybe 148 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 3: your own contractor or a part time job. You know, 149 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 3: these are things that we're talking about, but there are 150 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,119 Speaker 3: real life examples of diversified income strategies that work. People 151 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: are living off of their income streams. They are buckets 152 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 3: of money that are generating income. So if you have 153 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 3: questions and want to know how to do that for yourself, 154 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 3: pick up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. 155 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: Let's get together. Eight three three, Maggie tax, let's talk 156 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: about income. What about tax efficient income strategies? 157 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 4: Well, good point. 158 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: There the biggest problem I see, you know a question 159 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: we get how to structure income to minimize tax liability. 160 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: It's pretty simple. The more money you make, the more 161 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: tax you're going to pay. But every year I hear 162 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: the same thing and they tell Chris and I I'm 163 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: paying too much in taxes, and the truth is you're 164 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: not paying enough in taxes. And right now we all 165 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: know that Trump tax cuts were extended, which is a 166 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: good thing. So when you come in and meet with us, 167 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: we can explain to you how it's going to benefit 168 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: you not hurt you. And I think that's going to 169 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: be It's a big question. It's a big question on 170 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: everybody's mind. So you know, once you understand what you 171 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: make and what you have to pay in taxes and 172 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: the deductions. You might be surprised because you might not 173 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: pay as much tax as you think you're going to. 174 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: Well, let's just sit too, and let's add on that. 175 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: Because the people get income, we meet with clients and 176 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 3: we do reviews. They get any income, but a lot 177 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: of them are the most tax efficient way. But then 178 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: we see new clients come in and they're getting income 179 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: and paying a lot in tax, and then their sold 180 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: securities getting taxes as much as eighty five percent. They're 181 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 3: not really sure how to way is to reduce it. 182 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: That's why tax efficient income strategies are so important, and 183 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: the role of your retirement accounts and capital gains tax 184 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: and tax brackets. You know, these are things that you 185 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: have to be aware of. And if you're working with 186 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: an advisor who's not even talking about tax efficient income, 187 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: then you need to do something about it because you're 188 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: going to be paying more in tax. You're leaving money 189 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: on the table that's going to Uncle Sam, that should 190 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: be going to you and your family. And I was 191 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 3: giving an example at a client that came in last week. 192 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 3: Perfect example. They would take it out ten thousand dollars 193 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: from their IRA account and the broker said, go ahead 194 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 3: and do that. Meanwhile, if they took the ten thousand 195 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: from the non IRA account, they'll pay no tax. The 196 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 3: solid security wouldn't got taxed. But now the broker advised 197 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: them to take it from a different distribution source and 198 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 3: it caused more tax, and the solid security got tax 199 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: on top of it. And that's where it's so important 200 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: to make sure you have tax efficient strategies. And that's 201 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 3: what we can help you with. 202 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 4: Well, go back to one thing. We talk about retirement accounts. 203 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,599 Speaker 2: Right now, the biggest question people ask is the rmds 204 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: and how much they have to take out, you know, 205 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: what capital gains they have on their retirement accounts. These 206 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: are all questions that you have that you need to 207 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: call us right now. Income planning for retirement turn your 208 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 2: assets into paychecks. Turn your assets into paychecks. And the 209 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: only reason why I say that twice is because you 210 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: probably don't know how to do that, how to transition 211 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 2: from earning to withdrawing. You know, you work all your life, 212 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: you save, but then you have to know how to 213 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: withdraw that money, and like Christen, in the most tax 214 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: efficient way. You know, there are strategies for sustainable withdrawals. 215 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: The rule was four percent rule, you know, take four 216 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: percent out, four percent out, but that's changed. What we 217 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: do is we do bucket planning. And bucket planning is 218 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: a lot easier to understand than just withdrawing and deleting 219 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: that account. So social security, we talk about pensions and annuities. 220 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 4: What to know and how to plan. 221 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: These are questions that you should have and you should 222 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: be able to commit in talk to us eight three 223 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 2: to three Maggie Tex sit down and do income planning 224 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 2: with us, and some investment planning and again retirement planning. 225 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 4: That's what we're talking about today.

Today 247 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: we're talking about investment planning, but not just in terms 248 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: of charts and returns. We're talking about investing in your future, 249 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: in your family and your freedom, and that's what you 250 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: all should be thinking about. I'll never forget one client, 251 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 2: a single mom working two jobs, just trying to make 252 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: ends meet, and she didn't think. 253 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: Investing was for her. 254 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: But we started small, like I said before, with a 255 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: plan built around her goals. Five years later, she had 256 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: enough saved to buy her first home and start a 257 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: college fund for her daughter and she cried. She cried 258 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: in my office when we told her, well, she told me, 259 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: actually not because of the money, but because she finally 260 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: felt secure and she finally felt hope. And that's what 261 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: all of you might be feeling right now. But it 262 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 2: can be done. That's what investment planning is really about. 263 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: It's not just about wealth. It's about possibility. And today 264 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 2: we're going to explore how you can take control of 265 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: your financial future, one smart decision at a time. And Chris, 266 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: I think what the problem is that most people feel 267 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 2: they got to do it all at once and they 268 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: don't realize that. Think about it. We all grew up 269 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: as a baby. Okay, we didn't just jump into college. 270 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: You know, we didn't run. 271 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 4: We crawled and then we walked, and then we ran 272 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 4: and then life goes on. It's the same thing with 273 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 4: you know, investing for your retirement for life. Isn't that correct? 274 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 3: Absolutely? And that's why you have to define your purpose 275 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 3: before you start with different products, and investment planning is key. 276 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 3: And my dad said said it, well, it's about possibility. 277 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 3: And investment planning starts with the question or the word 278 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 3: why why are you saving for retirement? Why are you 279 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 3: saving for a child's education while you why you're saving 280 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 3: for financial independence. These are the things that we need 281 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: to understand what your goals are. 282 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 4: Right. 283 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 3: Knowing your goals help determine your risk tolerance, your time horizon, 284 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 3: as well as the right mix of assets to choose from. 285 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: So at our firm, we do complete planning and as 286 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 3: a registered investment advisory firm, we have a plethora of 287 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 3: strategies and investments that we can help you. Whether it's safety, 288 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 3: whether it's for growth, whether it's for inflation, whether it's 289 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 3: for a lot of dividend producing, whatever it is, we 290 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 3: can help you. We just need to understand what you're 291 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 3: looking for. 292 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 2: You know, it reminds me when I was younger, and 293 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 2: many many people out there I might remember what I'm 294 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 2: going to talk about, but I used to save for 295 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: a Christmas club because I'd save, you know, five dollars 296 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: a week or ten you could do twenty and probably 297 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: many of you shaking your head. But at the end, 298 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 2: by October November, I used to get a check from 299 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: the bank for five hundred dollars or one thousand dollars 300 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: to buy Christmas presents. And that's how I learned how 301 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 2: to shop, but I also learned how to save. But 302 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: here's the thing, you know, what is your risk level 303 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: when you do that? How do you invest money to 304 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 2: make money not to lose money? Because many people just think, 305 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 2: you know, it's the best stock, it's the best bond. 306 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 4: That's not the case. 307 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 2: It's investment planning and risk tolerance. Chris and you talk 308 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: about risk all the time, and this is for everybody, 309 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: young and old. You can take some risk when you're young, 310 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: you can take less risk when you're older. 311 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 3: And that's the thing. You want to meet with an 312 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: advisor who can determine your risk. And if you don't know, 313 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: then we can help.

We just want to 322 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: let it grow so we can diversify your portfolio. And 323 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 3: diversification isn't just a buzzword. It's protection. 324 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 4: You know. 325 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 3: Spreading investments across asset classes like stocks, bonds, ETFs, real 326 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 3: estate helps reduce risk. I mean there's different types of 327 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 3: CDs or a straight fixed innuities or index and uities, 328 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 3: but a well diversified portfolio can weather market volatility and 329 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: keep your long term goals on track. And Dad, we 330 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 3: talk about this the rule of one hundred. How much 331 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 3: money should you have them we call green money?

We just talked about how to 420 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 3: grow your wealth through smart investment planning, but now we 421 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: turn to something even more important, protecting that wealth for 422 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 3: people you love. Because true financial success isn't just about 423 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: what you build, It's about what you leave behind. Estate 424 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 3: planning is the bridge between your hard work and your legacy, 425 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 3: and without it, your assets could end up tangled in probate, 426 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 3: delayed and drained far from your future that you and 427 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 3: vision for your family. And you don't want that. So 428 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 3: today you want to start out and show you and 429 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 3: make sure that your home, your accounts, your business, everything 430 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 3: you work so hard for passes smoothly, privately and powerfully 431 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 3: to the next generation, because that's what you deserve. It's 432 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 3: not about just having millions of dollars and only the 433 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 3: wealthy can do that. Everybody can do that if you 434 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 3: just do the right planning. So let's talk about trusts 435 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 3: and wills and benefit surity designations and the tools that 436 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 3: turn planning into peace of mind. So this is more 437 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 3: than just paperwork. It's your legacy, and you know, let's 438 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 3: protect it together. And Dad, how many times do we 439 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 3: see people come in they got no plan, they got 440 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 3: piles of money, they come in all happy, Hey, what 441 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 3: I say, you look at my accounts, and but again 442 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: it's pretty much there's nothing under it to protect. 443 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: It well, because no one took the time to educate them. 444 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 2: And think about it. You go to school to learn 445 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: and then you have to take a topic or a 446 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 2: subject and you get a test on it. And I 447 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 2: don't think anyone's ever you know, tested anybody on investment 448 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: planning or what we're talking about, you know, a state planning. 449 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: So let's kind of recap some of the things on 450 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 2: the investment plan that we talked about. Think about it. 451 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 2: You've built the wealth, now let's protect it. But the 452 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: other thing, like Chris is mentioning what do you do 453 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 2: with it? So a state planning, it's not just about money, 454 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: it's about meaning, what are you going to do with it? 455 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: How do you want it to pass your beneficiary? Is 456 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: I have a trust? Okay, anything happens to me, my 457 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 2: wife gets it. Anything appens to my wife and I 458 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 2: my two boys get it, and anything happens to them. 459 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 2: Guess where it passes down to the grandkids. So when 460 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 2: you think about that, is that the kind of plan 461 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: you have or you don't even know yet, so you know, 462 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 2: it's basically an emotional hook. What happens to your assets 463 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 2: when you're gone? And Chris, this is where I think 464 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: people get I would say sidetracked. But when they meet 465 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: with an advisor, it's all about selling them something. 466 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 4: Think about it. 467 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 2: They come in with their statement, they give it to 468 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: you know, a custodian, and they invest it. 469 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 4: But what happens after that? What do they do with it? 470 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: Do they keep it, do they lose it? 471 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 2: And then when they need money to then the big 472 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 2: question when you ask everybody this is always a funny question, 473 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 2: how much do you need every month coming in the 474 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 2: front door. 475 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 4: When you ask that question, people go. 476 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 2: I don't know, and that just bewilders me all the 477 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 2: time because no one that's a perfect point, Chris, No 478 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 2: one talks about it. 479 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 3: That's just it. And you know, I was listening to 480 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 3: you and you made a great question and to the 481 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 3: listener here and to me as well, listening what happens 482 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 3: when your assets to your assets when you're gone? Think 483 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 3: about that. Let that digest for a minute. Do you know? 484 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 3: And if you know totally in confirmation, is one hundred 485 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 3: percent that you know where it's going to go, then 486 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: that's a great thing. But I bet you that most 487 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 3: listeners today have a doubt, they have questions in mind, 488 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 3: they don't know really where it's. 489 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 4: Going to go. 490 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 3: I'm talking about your bank accounts. I'm talking about your 491 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 3: form of case, so I'm talking about your IRA, your 492 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 3: roth IRA, your broken account. Think about those accounts. What 493 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 3: are the savings accounts that you have? What about your house? 494 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 4: So? 495 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 3: What do you do? Why is the state planning so 496 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 3: essential because you want to avoid probate? What's probate? Probates 497 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 3: the court system that's who's going to make decisions on 498 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 3: your state and doesn't have to be that way.

Yeah, you think that's the reason. Why, So 543 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: do you want that to happen to you? And it's 544 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 2: the cheapest thing you could do? 545 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know when we hear those stories, we 546 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 3: just cringe and then we start looking into where they 547 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 3: came from. And then you come to find out that 548 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 3: mom and dad had their advisor for twenty twenty five 549 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,719 Speaker 3: years and then you say they didn't talk to him 550 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 3: about this. Wow, they manage their money really great. But 551 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 3: guess what now you got probaate cost and time and money. 552 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 3: How do you go about doing that? And that's why 553 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 3: if you have an advisor now and that's not talking 554 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 3: about total state planning and income planning and tax planning, 555 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 3: then I really raised the question that you should come 556 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 3: in and meet with us, because let's have a conversation. 557 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 3: If you're looking for a complete plan, we can help 558 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 3: eight three to three Maggie tax.

All 593 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 3: their informations right there. But I'll give a quick example. 594 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 3: I never forget this story. I've been this a business 595 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 3: over twenty years, and I tell you the second year 596 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: I was in this business, I came across a client 597 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: who had twenty thousand dollars to her name, but her 598 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 3: brother passed away who lived in California, and he had 599 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 3: two million dollars. So we met with our client and 600 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 3: we took care of her because it's not about how 601 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 3: much money you have, it's about the whole process. So 602 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 3: she came on in and she told us, you know, 603 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 3: her brother passed away, and we felt terrible for her, 604 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 3: and we found that some information that he had two 605 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 3: CDs with the same bank. One million dollars was with 606 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 3: one CD and the other million dollars, which is with 607 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 3: the other. But guess what. The one CD had proper 608 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: beneficiary designation where the other one did not. So the 609 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 3: million dollars went to her and avoided probate because it 610 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 3: was the right transfer, very quickly and efficiently. But the 611 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 3: other million it took eighteen months. Eighteen months through probate. 612 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 3: He had attorney costs, you had fees, everyone knew about 613 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 3: his public record and everything. And guess what it call 614 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 3: could have been avoided. So the same bank had this 615 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 3: all mess up because they didn't do the proper plan. 616 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 3: So pick up the phone, schedule appointment today.

That's the 626 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 2: worst time. It's about clarity, compassion, and control.

My 681 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 2: name is Robert Maggie and I'm here with my son, 682 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: Chris Maggie.

Every Sunday at ten 686 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: thirty on ABC TV, tune into the Maggie Tax and 687 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 2: Financial Show. We talk about a lot of things that 688 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: might help you out, So give us a call eight 689 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: three to three Maggie Tax, and think about it. You've 690 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 2: built the life, protected your legacy and made sure you'll 691 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 2: love the ones won't be burdened by probate. We talked 692 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 2: about that before. But here's the question we really ask, 693 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 2: who's helping you connect all the dots? Because the state 694 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 2: planning is just one piece of the puzzle, and if 695 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 2: the rest of your financial life isn't aligned, even the 696 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 2: best plan can fall short. 697 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 4: And here's the problem. The problem too. 698 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 2: Often is that people work with a tax preparer in 699 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 2: one corner, an investment advisor in another, and maybe a 700 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 2: state attorneys somewhere down the line. But no one's talking 701 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 2: to each other. And that's how things get messed up. 702 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 2: That's how things get missed. Beneficiaries don't match, tax strategies, 703 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 2: conflict with income plans, and opportunities slip through the cracks. 704 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 2: And that's the probably the biggest mistake and the most 705 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 2: common mistake most people make. So, Chris, what's the solution 706 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 2: to all this? How simple can it be? 707 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 3: Well, that's so important, and that's why you need a 708 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: complete advisor, someone who sees the full picture your taxes, 709 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 3: your investments, your retirement income, and your a state plan 710 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 3: and brings it all together. And a complete advisor doesn't 711 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 3: just react to problems. They anticipate them. They build strategies 712 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 3: that work in harmony, not isolation. And that's what we 713 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 3: do here. We call it the Maggie Plan, and that's 714 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 3: why we want you to visit our website, Maggie tax 715 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 3: dot com, because we can put it all together. If 716 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 3: you ever felt like your financial life is a stack 717 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 3: of disconnected folders, do you ever think about that, Well, 718 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 3: it's time to change that. And that's where you can 719 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 3: just pick up the phone. It starts with you. Pick 720 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 3: up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. Let's 721 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 3: sit down and build a plan that's not just smart, 722 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 3: it's complete because your future doesn't deserve to have fragments. 723 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 3: It deserves a team that sees the whole view and mind. 724 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 3: And that's why we talk about complete planning. There's transactional 725 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 3: advisors out there, but then there's complete planners. And that's 726 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 3: why we set up our company this way because we 727 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 3: understand the tax side of things, the investment side, the 728 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 3: income planning, the estate planning, you know what about social 729 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 3: security and medicare planning. We can help with all this. 730 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 3: So we have the people in place in house, so 731 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 3: you don't have to go each and everywhere and that's 732 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 3: why all you got to do is schedule appointment to 733 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 3: meet with us A three three Maggie tacks. 734 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 2: You know, as you're talking about that thing came to 735 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: my mind. I mean, you know how silly I could get. 736 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 2: But what I'm going to do is make a puzzle. 737 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 2: And it's like a small puzzle, maybe an eight and 738 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 2: a half by eleven. And when clients come in, we're 739 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 2: going to give them the puzzle and see if they 740 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 2: could put it together. 741 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 4: Maybe that might work. 742 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 3: It's hard enough with them as it is because many 743 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 3: well see all honesty, you made a joke about it. 744 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 3: But you know, people come in and they're confused and 745 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 3: they want help, right and they've been saying, I've been 746 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 3: wanting this for years, and I've listened to your show 747 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 3: for a long time, and you know, it hit me 748 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 3: a lot of times, and I want to do this. 749 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 3: And I asked them why haven't they done it? And 750 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,760 Speaker 3: they said, well, time, you know, I just haven't gotten 751 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 3: to it. Or you know, I've been looking in but 752 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 3: I haven't found This is a lot of different reasons, 753 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 3: but now is a time.

Let's go over the problems that 762 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 2: you have. And like I said before, what keeps you 763 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 2: up at night? Is it a state planning? 764 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 4: Is it you had? Do you have in order? Do 765 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 4: you have a will or trust? Is it correct? 766 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 2: Do you have a beneficiary reform? Is it correct? Is 767 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 2: it updated? We talk about the risk of you know, 768 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 2: maybe sometimes I think people get the wrong advice, Chris, 769 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 2: and I understand that, you know, they go to one 770 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: advisor and they get another one. But you know, many 771 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 2: people work with separate professionals, maybe a CPA, a financial advisor, 772 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 2: and then a state planning attorney, and if they're not communicating, 773 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 2: which I mentioned before, critical details get missed. And Chris, 774 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 2: we've talked about this where we have a tax client 775 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 2: done the tax return and it was done incorrectly, and 776 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 2: then they go to a CPA and the CPA gives 777 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 2: some different advice. 778 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 4: Wow, how I mean it's confusing. 779 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 3: So you're talking about like fragmented advice, all right? Is 780 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 3: that we're talking about the risk of that. And many 781 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,479 Speaker 3: people work with separate professionals. As you just mentioned, they're 782 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 3: not communicating together. For you, critical details get missed, leading 783 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 3: into tax inefficiencies, probate surprises, even lost opportunities, poor tax decisions, 784 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 3: outdated beneficiary designation. So what is a complete advisor? What 785 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:49,919 Speaker 3: do they do? 786 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 2: They do complete planning. They do everything from tax planning, 787 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 2: from income planning, from an investment planning, from a state 788 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 2: planning to wills and trust to even took kids for 789 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 2: the for college. 790 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 3: That's right. They build strategies that work together. That's not 791 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 3: in isolation exactly. And if you don't have a strategy, 792 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 3: you're not going to win. Here's another thing. 793 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 2: If you don't have a plan, or if you're going 794 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 2: to be traveling and you don't have a roadmap, where are. 795 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 4: You going to go? 796 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense exactly. And it leads us to 797 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 3: an example that I'm talking about here. We had a 798 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 3: client that had a great investment plan when they first 799 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 3: met with us, but guess what there was no estate strategy, 800 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 3: their assets were tied up in probate for over a year. 801 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 3: And we went through this with the client and we said, 802 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 3: oh my gosh, I wish we would have got to 803 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 3: you sooner to help you avoid all this.
