I think what we've 35 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 3: been helping people understand is different things like tax planning 36 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 3: and social security in a state planning, legacy planning. But 37 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 3: today we talk about this all the time, Chris and 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: I and from many of you that have met with us, 39 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 3: we talk about bucket planning and what the heck is 40 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 3: bucket planning? And this is one of the biggest questions 41 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: that we get all the time. What is bucket plan 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 3: guys tell me about it. So let me give you 43 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: a two minute overview. And we start with a big 44 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: question on many retires' minds, which is what kind of 45 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: income can I expect in retirement. I met with a 46 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: gentleman this week and his biggest concern was, you know, 47 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: we have a large amount of money in our TSP. 48 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 3: It was a federal employee and also we had another 49 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 3: client come in and they say what do we do 50 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: with it? And the point is that I made him 51 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: understand that it's about a plan about income planning about 52 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 3: how much income do you need today, how much you're 53 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: going to need later, and how do you position that. 54 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: So this is a longer discussion than we have time for. 55 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: But you also need to stop thinking about gross paycheck 56 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 3: and that you got from your job and start thinking 57 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 3: about net check you received in your bank account. And Chris, 58 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 3: you ask the question every time, what is the amount 59 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: of money that you need when you retire to put 60 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: your feet on the ground to pay your bills? And 61 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 3: you say it that has to come into the mailbox 62 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 3: every month. 63 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: And that's it. You know what is that number? And 64 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: if you don't know, that's fine. You know, meet with 65 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: us let's go through budget planning. We can help you 66 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: very simple process that we do to help you really 67 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: dial in on that amount. Why because that's the amount 68 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 2: of money you're going to get on the first of 69 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 2: the month, and you can spend in the next thirty 70 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: days and do it all over again for the rest 71 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: of your life if you do it right. So that's 72 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: why bucket planning is so important to make sure that 73 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: that amount of money's coming in every month. 74 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: Another question we get if I have this qualified money 75 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 3: and it's all taxable, how do I get it down 76 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 3: to where I have tax free money? And there are 77 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: tax strategies to help reduce the taxes you pay in retirement. 78 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: So gross numbers might be big, you know, so gross 79 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: that it's too much. But here's what I'm trying to 80 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: make a point of. You don't understand how taxes work. 81 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: And what's happening now is whatever tax bracket you're in, 82 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: can tell Chris and I how much you have before 83 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: you hit the threshold to be tax in the next level. 84 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: And Chris, we talk about that where people don't think about, well, gee, 85 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 3: I have room because you get the standard deduction, so 86 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: that first amount is tax free. So when you get 87 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: your retirement, things are changing. Correct. 88 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: Let me jump in here real quick, because when we 89 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: did bucket planning, I met with a client you know 90 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: last week, and they had forty four thousand dollars of 91 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: Social Security between the two of income and just alone 92 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: right there. If you do the right planning, there's no 93 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: tax to pay, so there's no tax liability that and 94 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: they had no idea. They said, what do I have 95 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: to withhold? Well, you don't have to withhold anything because 96 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 2: you're under the threshold income as my dad was mentioned. 97 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 2: So think about that. The first forty four thousand dollars 98 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: right here had no tax. Then they had a pension 99 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: which was one thousand dollars a month, and then we 100 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: took another thousand dollars from their IRA. So they said, 101 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, we're going to pay a lot in tax. 102 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: I said, no, no, you're not going to. So we 103 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: did the mock tax return, and I'll do the same 104 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: thing for you too. When you come in and meet 105 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: with us, we'll show you exactly what your future tax 106 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: is going to be. But at the end of the day, 107 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: they had a great amount of income and only paid 108 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 2: one thousand dollars in taxes one thousand dollars in tax 109 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: I said, you know, if you withhold about eighty dollars 110 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: a month, that's it and you will break even. You 111 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 2: know there payning more to the taxman. Why because the 112 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 2: way sell security is taxed then and when you add 113 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: in your other income, you could be under the threshold income. 114 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: So a lot of people have no idea about gross 115 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: or net. It's not just like they work they have 116 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: to automatically with hold fifteen percent. They don't have to 117 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 2: do that. If you do the right tax planning. 118 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 3: You make a good point there. They don't look at 119 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 3: it that way. So the second thing when thinking about 120 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 3: the income plan, and again that's the first bucket, how 121 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: much income do you need? We typically plan for a 122 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: retirement that is lasting twenty or thirty years or even more. 123 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,559 Speaker 3: So we have to plan accordingly as no one wants 124 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 3: to run out of money. That's the biggest thing. I'm 125 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 3: afraid because when I ask people what keeps you up 126 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: at night, they say, well, Bobby, Chris, maybe running out 127 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: of money. Well it's not maybe if you do, what 128 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 3: are you going to do? So will you run your 129 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: accounts to zero? Probably not, But running out of money 130 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: to us means that you have to change your lifestyle 131 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 3: and understand how bucket planning works income growth and. 132 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: Later money right, absolutely, and that's the key, because you 133 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 2: want to make sure that you have that paycheck coming 134 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: in the front door because you can't go back to 135 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: work and I don't care how much money you have. 136 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: We've met with people who have ten million dollars, people 137 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: who have one hundred thousand dollars, and the same theme 138 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: between them both is I'm afraid of outliving my money. 139 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 2: So a lot of people thinking today, well a lot 140 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 2: of people have a lot of money, they don't have 141 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: to worry about that. Well, they just don't know how 142 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: to use their assets, their piles of money to create 143 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: buckets of guaranteed income growth legacy planning. They just don't 144 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 2: know how to do it. And that's what we do. 145 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: And the thing is that we control it by how 146 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: much risk do you want to take with your money, 147 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: meaning that when you have income, how much risk do 148 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: you want to take? It could be a fixed income bucket, 149 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 3: the first one for maybe ten years that you're going 150 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: to be guaranteed that money. The second bucket could be 151 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: lower risk, lower volatility and ability to gain more cash 152 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: and then just keep repeating that process over and over. Chris, 153 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 3: and I think that is where when we show the 154 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: bucket planning in its entirety, they look at it and 155 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: they go, this is what I want. This is exactly what. 156 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: I want, absolutely, And that's why when we invest money 157 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: into different allocations and buckets, there's a reason, there's a purpose. 158 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: You know, most advisors you meet with, you know, how 159 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 2: much money do you have, and they just put you 160 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: in an allocation and that's it and they go onto 161 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: the next client. But that's that's just regular transactional advisors. 162 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 2: And you think about it. Do you want to work 163 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: with a transactional advisor or do you want to work 164 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: with a complete advisor. And that's what we do here 165 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: because when we do bucket planning, every account you have 166 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: is going to have a purpose, whether it's for income, 167 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 2: whether it's for future inflation, whether it's for growth opportunities 168 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: or legacy tax free planning. These things that our clients 169 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: are looking for and we can help you. Just pick 170 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: up the phone, schedule time to meet with us eight 171 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: three three Magi Tax and visit our website at Magi 172 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: tax dot com for more information where our locations are 173 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: and how we can help you. 174 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 3: And I think what you just mentioned to make it simple, 175 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 3: it's called managing risk. And the third thing, think of 176 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: money this way. Typically, the great risk you take in 177 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: investing can mean greater rewards. We all know that, but 178 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 3: also brings the potential for greater losses and vice versa. 179 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: So when it comes to safer retirement strategies, one thing 180 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: to also consider is too safe might bring a very 181 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: low return. And I get that, but think about the 182 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: rates today. That's what we have and in causing you 183 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: to lose purchasing power to inflation, we understand that too, 184 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: and we have to address that. So let's get to 185 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: the bucket planning, folks. This is something that all of 186 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: you could do. I challenge all of you to come 187 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 3: in and sit down with us. We'll do the free 188 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 3: risk analysis for you. We'll do bucket planning, and we'll 189 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 3: do it with your money. And one thing last week, 190 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: the gentlemen said, well, this is not your money that 191 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: you figured into this, and I said, no, it's your money. 192 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: He said, that's wonderful, because most advisors just think that 193 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: they should put it into risky investments and let it ride. Well, 194 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 3: that's not it, Chris anymore. 195 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean there's paychecks and also playchecks. There's a 196 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: lot of things you can do to have the guaranteed 197 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 2: income bucket. Planning. The first bucket, we structure for income 198 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: needed early in retirement, and we want to look for 199 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: the percentage of ADSs that can deliver enough income to 200 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: last five to seven years. That's your first bucket. And 201 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: we want this first bucket to be in retirement vehicles 202 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: that can deliver a decent return outpace inflation, yet still 203 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: have some downside protection, so we minimize the investment losses. 204 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: This is your protection bucket. And then second we look 205 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: at a second bucket. And with this bucket, you know, 206 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: you can enjoy the income from the first bucket living 207 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: your life. And we've got the second bucket accumulating and 208 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 2: ready to begin income when the first bucket is exhausted. 209 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: So think of it this way. One runs dry in 210 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: five to seven years, the second bucket is right there 211 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: to pick up where it left off because that's the 212 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: guaranteed income that we need to have moving forward. So 213 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: with the second bucket, we're really not immediately reliant on 214 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: the income in this bucket. You know, We've got that 215 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 2: five to seven year timeframe to take a little more 216 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: risk as market fluctuation is less of a concern because 217 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: we have time on our side, and ideally the percentage 218 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: of as as we place in the second bucket accumulates 219 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: during that five to seven year time frame and then 220 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: we turn it on for income for another five to 221 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: seven years of guaranteed income for life. 222 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 3: Okay, So we just talked about the first two buckets, 223 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: so we're gonna continue this in the next segment and 224 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 3: we'll talk about the third bucket.

Visit our website at Maggi tax dot com. 266 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: And there's a reason why we have our name Maggie 267 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 3: Tax and Financial Group because we specialize in taxes and 268 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 3: advanced taxes and financial planning. And you know, ask your CPA. 269 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 3: And this is an interesting story. We met with a 270 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 3: gentleman this week and you know, we had a CPA 271 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: for years and you know, trusted him. And he came 272 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 3: in and he said, look, I want to get a 273 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: second opinion, which is fine and all of you can 274 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 3: get a second opinion. But when we showed him what 275 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 3: his CPA Chris should have showed him, he went back 276 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 3: to a CPA and a CPA said, well, that's not good. 277 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 3: Well do you mean it's not good? It's not good 278 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: because he didn't tell him, well. 279 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: That's just said it's a great, great segue to a 280 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: great situation that a lot of people should be hearing. 281 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: He was with his CPA for twenty five years, had 282 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: a great relationship business during the accumulation phase. You know, 283 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 2: when we analyzed his current situation, we noticed that there 284 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 2: was a lot of a shares mutual funds with a 285 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 2: shares front end loaded. So he paid a lot of 286 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: commissions years ago on these products that he had and hey, 287 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: the market did well, so his accounts up. But at 288 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 2: the end of the day, he's seen a lot of volatility, 289 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 2: especially with what's happening now, and he's at the point 290 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 2: where him and his wife want the distribution phase. They 291 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: want to protect what they have gotten. So now he 292 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: goes back to his he gets the second opinion with us, 293 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 2: and we showed him we analyzed accounts and the fees 294 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: that he's paying and type of risk that he's currently 295 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 2: taking with his accounts, and he's basically saying, I want safety. 296 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: I want safety. But guess what he has got about 297 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: ninety percent of his money and risk. So he's his 298 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: CPA currency pee is not listening to him. They're not 299 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: listening to what he in his wife wants, so he 300 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: came to us and he wanted an income plan, he 301 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 2: want a tax plan, he wanted a way in an 302 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 2: investment plan to make sure that everything is in the 303 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 2: right order. So guess what, we put together a whole 304 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 2: plan for him. So he came back into a CPA 305 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: and he told him, Hey, I'm going to transfer my 306 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: money over. He'd done a great job. And his CPA 307 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: went nuts. And his CPA went nuts because he's a 308 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: transactional advisor. He's a transactional advisor and he didn't want 309 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: to lose the business. But he wasn't listening to the client. 310 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: And that's where they said, you know what, I don't care. 311 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: I've been there for twenty five years. They thanked him 312 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 2: very much for all his work, but now it's time 313 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: to move on and move on to someone who specialized 314 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: in the distribution phase of their retirement. And that's what 315 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: we did. So here's what we did. We put together 316 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 2: buckets of safety. We put together buckets of long term growth. 317 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: We put buckets together where he has tax free money. 318 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: We showed him to get money out of an infected 319 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 2: area of taxes to tax free. We eliminate Uncle Sam 320 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 2: forever and ever and ever, for some of his accounts. 321 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: So guess what he has the opportunity have tax free income, 322 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: and guess what his money has it is safe, and 323 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 2: guess what he has a plan that he didn't have before. 324 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: And to wrap it all up, all his accounts that 325 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: he had, there was no beneficiaries, there was no estate plan. 326 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: So his CPA for twenty five years, he thought was 327 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: doing the right work didn't.

But in addition, 336 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: he said, the reason why I want to work with 337 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 3: you guys is because you're a fiduciary. He understands what 338 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 3: a fiduciary is and what Chris just mentioned, we just 339 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 3: did the whole plan for him that the CPA didn't do. 340 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 3: So you everyone listening has the right to go back 341 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 3: and ask Kim or or why they didn't show you 342 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 3: what we did.

Robert and Chris Maggie. 410 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 3: Welcome every morning, Thanks for joining us. My name is 411 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 3: Robert Maggie. I'm here with my son Chris Maggie, and 412 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 3: today we're talking about what we do for a lot 413 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 3: of people on the ROTH conversions and why it's so 414 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: important to get it done correctly. So if you have 415 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: an account, a Brokente account, or you have just a 416 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 3: savings account and you need some information on how to 417 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 3: put a plan together, that's what Chris and I are 418 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: going to talk about because it's not just investments, it's 419 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 3: more because it's an income plan, it's a tax plan, 420 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 3: it's a legacy plan, and what about your beneficiaries. So 421 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 3: we're going to talk about how we put this together. 422 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 3: Because now we're gonna put this car, this vehicle together 423 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 3: so you can drive away in a tax free environment. 424 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 3: So Chris, let's start with you know, a typical client 425 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 3: comes in and they bring in their statements and we 426 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 3: see they have brokeer statements and there's non qualified and qualified, 427 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 3: which brings up another point. Sometimes I don't even know 428 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 3: what they have. So how do we start to make 429 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: it easy for them to understand how to separate that 430 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 3: money and start putting it into bucket planning? 431 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's it, you know a great question. My gosh. 432 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: Many people come in with all these statements and they 433 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 2: have piles of money. They don't know where and what 434 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 2: those accounts are. Are they taxable, they non taxable? Can 435 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 2: you generate income from them or can you not? So 436 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 2: they're just confused, right, And they've been with their advisor, 437 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 2: maybe for a couple of years or for a long time, 438 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. But maybe they're not doing the complete 439 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 2: plan for them. Maybe they're just doing transactional an account 440 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: or I've had this advisor or brokerage account for ten 441 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 2: years and it's just sitting there. Well is it? Are 442 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 2: you taking the right risk with that account? So what 443 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: we do is we can do a couple of things. 444 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 2: Number One, we set up a balance sheet. We show 445 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: you where your accounts are, what's taxable, it's non taxable, 446 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 2: all on one sheet. We show you type of income 447 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 2: you're currently taking. And this makes a lot of sense 448 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: to people because it's about education. So we educate you 449 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 2: on what you have, and then we can go into 450 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 2: step number two, go back to. 451 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 3: The balance sheet because it's always some enlightening. A lot 452 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 3: of advisors don't do a balance sheet, and we do 453 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: it from the ground up. You know what's soo security? 454 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 3: What the what there's saving these accounts are if it's 455 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 3: non qualified, if it's qualified, and goes into the beneficiary 456 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 3: and who you want to leave it to. So the 457 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 3: biggest concern that I think people have is that when 458 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 3: they meet with an advisor that they're gonna come in 459 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 3: and they're gonna take all their money and they're gonna 460 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 3: put all their money into one bucket. And they don't 461 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 3: want to do that. So how do you separate to 462 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 3: educate the client that you can put money in safe buckets. 463 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 3: You can still put money in some risky buckets, but 464 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: not all of it. And we've seen this every single 465 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 3: time when a client comes in with a statement. 466 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 2: Absolutely, So leading into step two is that we can 467 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 2: analyze your accounts and you're right, this is your money. 468 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: Let's just talk about this it's not your advisor's money, 469 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 2: it's not your CPAs, it's your money. So if you 470 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: come in and you have a million dollars and you 471 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: have two hundred and fifty thousand in the stock that 472 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: you love because you've been with it for a long time, 473 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 2: can't you keep it? Sure you can, there's nothing wrong 474 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 2: with saying you can't. But let's see how it plays 475 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 2: in your plan. Let's get educated and let's show you 476 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: what type of risk that will take and maybe we 477 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 2: have to peel off a little bit of that money 478 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: to get the income that you need or for the 479 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: right risk level that you're looking for. So Dad, you're right. 480 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 2: We can create the buckets of money, and a lot 481 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 2: of people are looking for safety for their core. They 482 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 2: want to protect their money. We call it green money buckets. 483 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: Those are safe money where you don't lose anything, there's 484 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 2: no fees where you protect your money. So if the 485 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: market goes down, guess what those are your protection buckets. 486 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: Then you can have yellow money. Yellow money's we're actively 487 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: manage the money. That's where you can have different purposes 488 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: with accounts. You can have an inflation protection bucket. You 489 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 2: can have an account that generates dividends. You can have 490 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: an account that has growth stocks, ETFs, a lot of 491 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 2: different positions that are managed effectively, and you can have 492 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 2: a red bucket where if you want to have your 493 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 2: own account that you actively manage or play with, then 494 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 2: you could do that too. But having a whole list 495 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 2: approach with your accounts and knowing where your money's at 496 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: is so crucial, and many people, we find out don't 497 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 2: have that in place. 498 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 3: You mentioned a keyword, holistic. We had a client call 499 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 3: last week and I've had it many times and they say, 500 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 3: can you explain what holistic means? Because I've never heard 501 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 3: that word before. And folks, it's a simple word because 502 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 3: it's about your money. It's about all your money and 503 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 3: where you're going to put it. And the cool thing 504 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 3: about it is that think about this for a second. 505 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 3: You save money, you put it in a savings account 506 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 3: or you put it in a checking account. Why do 507 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 3: you do that because it's liquid money and you don't 508 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 3: want to take the risk of losing the money. Right. 509 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 3: I know it's a low interest rate, we get that, 510 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: but we can show you some ways to make that better. 511 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 3: But then you've got to start thinking about the rest 512 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 3: of your money, like Chris is talking about, has anyone 513 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 3: sat down with you and said, hey, you know what, 514 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 3: You're taken ninety percent risk in your investments and if 515 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 3: the market goes down, you're going to lose. And the 516 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 3: question is then what do you do now? Okay, you're 517 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 3: going to go back to your advisor and say, well, 518 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 3: you know, you put it in the wrong bucket. You've 519 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 3: got to sit down, you have to have a conversation. 520 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 3: You have to understand what we're talking about, because you 521 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 3: are going to make the final decision where when when 522 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 3: you put to bucket planning, how much you want in income, 523 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 3: how much you want in green money, how much you 524 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 3: want in yellow money. And I bet people listening right now, Chris, 525 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 3: their advisors aren't talking about red, green, and yellow. 526 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: No they're not. And that's the thing. They just have 527 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: you this broker's account and she's just sitting there and 528 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 2: this is what it's done over the past year. And 529 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: don't worry, it's going to come back when if it 530 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 2: goes down, but over time it's going to be Okay. Yeah, 531 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 2: those are the general answers to the questions that people 532 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 2: are having. But at the end of the day, you've 533 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 2: done working, you're retired, you're about to retire. So many 534 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: people are in the accumulation phase of their life and 535 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: when they retire, they're still in the accumulation phase of 536 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 2: their life. But there's the distribution phase that you have 537 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: to shift to. And it doesn't mean just hunker down 538 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 2: and protect your money with all of it. That's not 539 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 2: what we're saying. We're saying here is that you have 540 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 2: to have a clue. You have to have a plan. 541 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 2: You have to have a purpose with every dollar you have, 542 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 2: and that's why you create buckets. When you come in 543 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 2: to meet with us, we're going to put together an 544 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 2: investment plan. I'm going to show you where one your risk, 545 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: what your risk level is, and if you are reaching 546 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 2: that or not, maybe you're taking more risk than you 547 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 2: need to. Maybe you're not taking as much risk than 548 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: you need to as well, so we can evaluate that 549 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: for you. That's step number two. Step number three is 550 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: put together a plan. We can allocate the different buckets 551 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 2: and your money into different buckets where you're going to 552 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 2: have a purpose. You're going to have a plan so 553 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: if this market does go down, you have now money 554 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 2: that just protect it. Your later money. You can let 555 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 2: it grow. You can invest that money. If you are 556 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: a forty year old, that's fine, or fifty year old, 557 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: that's fine. But making sure that you have segments of 558 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: money and buckets put together with the right purpose. 559 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 3: And here's the question that all of you should be 560 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 3: asking yourself. What if what if something happens to me today? 561 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 3: You know, I'm working, I've got money coming in. How 562 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 3: much do you have put aside that's going to give 563 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 3: you the income that you need every month? Where is 564 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 3: it going to come from? Is it going to come 565 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 3: from solid security? Is it going to come from a 566 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 3: pension without disrupting the most of your accounts? And Chris, 567 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 3: I think that's the biggest fear of people have is 568 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 3: running out of money and they don't know where to 569 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 3: get it. When they do, well, that's it. 570 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 2: You hit it on the head. I don't care if 571 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 2: you have fifty thousand or ten million dollars. I'll tell 572 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: you what. Most people who have a lot of money, 573 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 2: their main concern is running out of money. And many 574 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 2: people say, well, they have plenty of money. Know what 575 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: they're worried about is losing it. They're worried about if 576 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 2: the market goes down and running out of money, So 577 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 2: how do you combat that? Well, that's where the income 578 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: plan comes into play, and that's why it's so important 579 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: to make sure you have an income plan. If we 580 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 2: asked you, what's your income plan? Can can you define it? 581 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 3: Well? 582 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. You have social security from a husband 583 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: and spouse. Some people have a pension. Maybe some people 584 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: don't even have a survivor benefit. So if anything happens 585 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 2: to that person, it stops. So what are you doing? 586 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 2: Those are three income streams? But what if you need 587 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: more money? Where do you take the money in a 588 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: most tax efficient way so you can have the income, 589 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: preserve your money and not have to worry instead of 590 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 2: going back to work.

And you know what, everybody says, well, I 622 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 3: don't want to do that. I know, I know, but 623 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 3: you've got to do something to fix it. Change the lane, 624 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 3: look at it through a different lens. That's the problem, Chris, 625 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 3: that I think people have. They are so stubborn in 626 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 3: their ways. Because that's the way we would talk. No 627 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 3: one broke the mold and said, hey, you can do 628 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 3: something different and it's not going to hurt you.

So take 631 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 3: a step to the side and look at it through 632 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 3: a different lens, because you can do it. And a 633 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 3: lot of times, Chris, I know, we see it all 634 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 3: the time, the amazement and some of the people that 635 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 3: come in like, wow, I really didn't know that. 636 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: And that's great. You know, it's really rewarding when we 637 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 2: see clients who have or generating over one hundred thousand 638 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: dollars of income per year and are paining a diamond 639 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: tax and you look at that, and we say that 640 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: on the radio, and we say it when we move people. 641 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: I can tray the tax returns. You know, people are 642 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: getting income from five different sources, including social Security and 643 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 2: a small pension and guess what they got income coming 644 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 2: in the front door and aren't paining a diamond tax, 645 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: and their accounts are in a situation where they have 646 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: a purpose and they have safety, and they have growth, 647 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 2: they have what they're looking for inflation protection and then 648 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: guess what they have a plan. So we talked about 649 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 2: all that and then leads into the final what about 650 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: a state planning? What is that and how do we 651 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: put this all together? 652 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 3: Well, you know, if you don't have a will or 653 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 3: a power of attorney or a durable power of attorney 654 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 3: or a healthcare surrogate. People that own homes don't have 655 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 3: a quit claim deed or a lady bird deed, and 656 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 3: if they don't have that, it's going to go through probate. 657 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 3: And so many of you out there think, well, just 658 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 3: because my name's on the mortgage, it's not going to 659 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 3: go through probate.

And we've been 688 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 2: talking about investment debt and getting out of debt in 689 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 2: a good way. Many people think about credit cards, but 690 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the investment 691 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 2: debt that you have on all your retirement accounts. And 692 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 2: think about this. You have IRA's form on K's thrift 693 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 2: savings plans four O three b's four fifty seven plans. 694 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 2: Guess what those accounts are infected with taxes. And if 695 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 2: you're infected with something, it's not a good thing, right, So, 696 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 2: if your retirement accounts are infected with taxes, that means 697 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 2: you have an unknown question mark tax rate that has 698 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 2: to come out. You have a debt to the irs 699 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 2: when you start taking distributions, and many people don't know that. 700 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 2: They look at their statements each and every month and 701 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: they say, oh my gosh, it's up ten grand, it's 702 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: down ten it's up thirty thousand, it's up forty thousand, 703 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 2: it's doing great. But guess what. When you start taking 704 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: a distribution, it's taxable. So what are you doing about it. 705 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 2: That's the planning that comes into play, that has to 706 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 2: be there in your retirement to make sure you have 707 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 2: a solid plan. And if you don't have a plan, 708 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 2: when you're talking about taxes and investments and income, you 709 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 2: need to pick up the phone and schedule time to 710 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 2: meet with us. Eight three to three magi tax. That's 711 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 2: eight three to three magi tax. 712 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 3: And when you put a plan together, you're talking about 713 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 3: putting a tax plan, an income plan, an investment plan, 714 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 3: an insurance plan. So how can you do it in 715 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 3: an efficient way so that you're not shooting yourself in 716 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 3: the foot while you're going to try to go tax 717 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,719 Speaker 3: for you have to pay the taxes first period. So 718 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 3: what we're going to show you is the least amount 719 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 3: of taxes and then it's not going to be a 720 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 3: hard decision for you to make because if you have 721 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 3: the cash and we can do it from there, you 722 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 3: do it now so that later on you don't have 723 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 3: this big tax. 724 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: Now that's it. Let's talk about that. So when someone 725 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: comes in, what are we going to do. Well, we 726 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 2: understand taxes obviously, so what we can do is show 727 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 2: you right there, will show you what your current tax 728 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: return looks like. Then we'll break it down and we'll 729 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 2: show you what if we convert a twenty thousand or 730 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 2: fifty thousand from an IRA to a raw Well, you 731 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 2: have to pay the tax to get there, right, So 732 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 2: we understand that we're talking about buying out the irs. 733 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: Let's do that at a cheaper rate as opposed to 734 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 2: later on where it's very expensive. So we can show 735 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,239 Speaker 2: you to you and we can break this down, and 736 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 2: we can sit down and show you what the tax 737 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: term will look like. And you say, I like that strategy. 738 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 2: I like that strategy, but I don't like the other strategy. 739 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 2: That's fine, this is your money. We can put together 740 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 2: a plan and show you options that you can you 741 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 2: can own and feel good about it because when you 742 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 2: start building a tax free bucket, what you have done 743 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 2: is you eliminated. Uncle Sam and my dad talked about 744 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 2: putting your retirement plan in pencil. Well, let's put it 745 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 2: in pen where it's permanent, where you know that you 746 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 2: don't have to pay taxes forever and ever and ever 747 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 2: and ever again. Now, many people don't have that ability, 748 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: but you can if you come meet with us, because 749 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 2: we'll show you ways to create a tax deduction. We'll 750 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 2: show you ways to get the money out in the 751 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: most tax efficient way. Eight three to three Maggie tax 752 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 2: will go through that for you. Schedule time to meet 753 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 2: with a you'll meet with us eight three three maggie tax. 754 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 3: So here's how one of the ideas works. The goal 755 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 3: is we're going to start with your retirement account because 756 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 3: that's the one that's taxed the most. So we use 757 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 3: and just use this for concept because when you come 758 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 3: in we'll explain it. But we use a five year 759 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 3: conversion period and at the end of this time period 760 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 3: in which we do the series of structured conversions. We 761 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,919 Speaker 3: call them structured because what Chris just said, will take 762 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 3: out a certain amount one year, certain amount to second 763 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 3: year from a tax return, where we convert the money 764 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 3: over to a roth ira And basically the goal is 765 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 3: that you want to have at least the same amount 766 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 3: as you started with. Let me repeat that. So if 767 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 3: you have five hundred thousand now over the next five years, 768 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 3: when you start converting, we have to use an investment 769 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 3: vehicle that's going to get you back to where you 770 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 3: were five years ago. And that's how we do bucket planning. 771 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 3: So take a second explain how that works, because it's 772 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 3: three buckets that we use to get there. 773 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 2: That's it. So let's just give an example. What if 774 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 2: we had three buckets and you have one hundred thousand dollars. Well, 775 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 2: what if you put twenty thousand dollars in bucket one 776 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 2: and we put thirty thousand in bucket two, fifty thousand 777 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 2: and bucket three. Well, what we're designing here is an 778 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 2: income plan. So that first bucket, a bucket one of 779 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 2: twenty grand, Let's give you income off of that for 780 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 2: the next five years, guaranteed. But that in five years 781 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 2: is going to go down to zero. And many people say, 782 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I don't want my account to going 783 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 2: down to zero. Well, just bucket one is, but what 784 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 2: about bucket two and bucket three. So when bucket one 785 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 2: is given you income, bucket two and three are growing 786 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 2: and guess what now you have just as much, if 787 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 2: not more income and value there. But now what after 788 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,919 Speaker 2: five years? Now you turn on bucket two. So now 789 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 2: bucket two gives you guaranteed income for life, but now 790 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: that goes down the zero after five years. Then you 791 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 2: might start thinking, well, I have no money. No, you 792 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 2: forgot about bucket three. Bucket three grows back to where 793 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 2: you started originally, and you could do it all over again. 794 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 2: So that's when we start talking about bucket planning and 795 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 2: income planning, where you can have income and you don't 796 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 2: run out of money, you live off of the interest, 797 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 2: and you live it off of the way where you 798 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 2: can create it, where you have bucket gets doing different 799 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 2: things with different strategies that you're protected and diversified in 800 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 2: a lot of different ways. That's income planning right now. 801 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 2: What about tax planning, Well, we use the same concept 802 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 2: where we can get money that's infected with taxes, eliminate 803 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 2: Uncle Sam and create a tax free bucket, so now 804 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about paying Uncle Sam ever 805 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 2: and ever and ever again. So who cares what an amount, 806 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 2: what tax rates are going to be? Who cares if 807 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 2: tax rates go up? It doesn't matter to clients of 808 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 2: ours who have tax free buckets because they don't have 809 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 2: to worry about it. That's where your retirement plan is 810 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 2: written in pen instead of pencil. 811 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 3: So what you want to do is call my office 812 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 3: eight three three Maggie Tax and tell them you want 813 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 3: to do this. We're going to tell you what it is. 814 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 3: It's called a strategic rollout. It's called a strategic rollout 815 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 3: and bucket planning. And if your advisor's not talking about this, 816 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 3: then you know, shame on them. They're not giving you 817 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 3: the whole story.
