But today we talk about this all the time, 39 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: Chris and I and from many of you that have 40 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: met with us, we talk about bucket planning and what 41 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 3: the heck is bucket planning? And this is one of 42 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 3: the biggest questions that we get all the time. What 43 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: is bucket plan guys tell me about it. So let 44 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: me give you a two minute overview. And we start 45 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 3: with a big question on many retires' minds, which is 46 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: what kind of income can I expect in retirement. I 47 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 3: met with a gentleman this week and his biggest concern was, 48 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: you know, we have a large amount of money in 49 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: our TSP. It was a federal employee and also we 50 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: had another client come in and they say what do 51 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 3: we do with it? And the point is that I 52 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: made him understand that it's about a plan about income 53 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: planning about how much income do you need today, how 54 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: much you're going to need later, and how do you 55 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: position that. So this is a longer discussion than we 56 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: have time for. But you also need to stop thinking 57 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 3: about gross paycheck and that you got from your job 58 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: and start thinking about net check you received in your 59 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: bank account. And Chris, you ask the question every time, 60 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: what is the amount of money that you need when 61 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 3: you retire to put your feet on the ground to 62 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: pay your bills? And you say it that has to 63 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 3: come into the mailbox every month. 64 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: And that's it. You know what is that number? And 65 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: if you don't know, that's fine. You know, meet with 66 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: us let's go through budget planning. We can help you 67 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: very simple process that we do to help you really 68 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: dial in on that amount. Why because that's the amount 69 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: of money you're going to get on the first of 70 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: the month, and you can spend in the next thirty 71 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: days and do it all over again for the rest 72 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: of your life if you do it right. So that's 73 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: why bucket planning is so important to make sure that 74 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: that amount of money's coming in every month. 75 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 3: Another question we get if I have this qualified money 76 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: and it's all taxable, how do I get it down 77 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: to where I have tax free money? And there are 78 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: tax strategies to help reduce the taxes you pay in retirement. 79 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 3: So gross numbers might be big, you know, so gross 80 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: that it's too much. But here's what I'm trying to 81 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: make a point of. You don't understand how taxes work. 82 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: And what's happening now is whatever tax brackets you're in, 83 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: can tell Chris and I how much you have before 84 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: you hit the threshold to be tax in the next level. 85 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: And Chris, we talk about that where people don't think about, well, gee, 86 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 3: I have room because you get the standard deduction, so 87 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: that first amount is tax free. 88 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 4: So when you get your retirement, things are changing. 89 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, And let me jump in here real quick, because 90 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: when we did bucket planning, I met with a client 91 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: you know last week, and they had forty four thousand 92 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: dollars of Social Security between the two of income and 93 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: just alone right there. If you do the right planning, 94 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: there's no tax to pay, so there's no tax liability 95 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: that and they had no idea. They said, what do 96 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: I have to withhold? Well, you don't have to withhold 97 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 2: anything because you're under the threshold income as my dad 98 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: was mentioned. So think about that. The first forty four 99 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: thousand dollars right here had no tax. Then they had 100 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: a pension which was one thousand dollars a month, and 101 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: then we took another thousand dollars from their IRA. So 102 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: they said, oh my gosh, we're going to pay a 103 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: lot in tax. I said, no, no, you're not going to. 104 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: So we did the mock tax return, and I'll do 105 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 2: the same thing for you too. When you come in 106 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: and meet with us, we'll show you exactly what your 107 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: future tax is going to be. But at the end 108 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: of the day, they had a great amount of income 109 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: and only paid one thousand dollars in taxes, one thousand 110 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: dollars in tax I said, you know, if you withhold 111 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: about eighty dollars a month, that's it and you will 112 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: break even. You know, the payning more to the taxman. 113 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: Why because the way sell security is taxed and when 114 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 2: you add in your other income, you could be under 115 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: the threshold income. So a lot of people have no 116 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: idea about gross or net. It's not just like they 117 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 2: work they have to automatically with whole fifteen percent. They 118 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,119 Speaker 2: don't have to do that. If you do the right 119 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 2: tax planning. 120 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 4: You make a good point there. They don't look at 121 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 4: it that way. 122 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: So the second thing when thinking about the income plan, 123 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: and again that's the first bucket, how much income do 124 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 3: you need? We typically plan for a retirement that is 125 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 3: lasting twenty or thirty years or even more. So we 126 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: have to plan accordingly as no one wants to run 127 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 3: out of money. That's the biggest thing. I'm afraid because 128 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: when I ask people what keeps you up at night, 129 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: they say, well, Bobby, Chris, maybe running out of money. 130 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 3: Well it's not maybe if you do, what are you 131 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: going to do? So will you run your accounts to zero? 132 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: Probably not, But running out of money to us means 133 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: that you have to change your lifestyle and understand how 134 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: bucket planning works income growth and later money. 135 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: Right, absolutely, and that's the key, because you want to 136 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: make sure that you have that paycheck coming in the 137 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: front door because you can't go back to work and 138 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: I don't care how much money you have. We've met 139 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: with people who have ten million dollars, people who have 140 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars, and the same theme between them 141 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: both is I'm afraid of outliving my money. So a 142 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: lot of people thinking today, well a lot of people 143 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: have a lot of money, they don't have to worry 144 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: about that. Well, they just don't know how to use 145 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: their assets, their piles of money to create buckets of 146 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: guaranteed income growth legacy planning. They just don't know how 147 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 2: to do it. And that's what we do. 148 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: And the thing is that we control it by how 149 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 3: much risk do you want to take with your money, 150 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: meaning that when you have income, how much risk do 151 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 3: you want to take? It could be a fixed income bucket, 152 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 3: the first one for maybe ten years that you're going 153 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: to be guaranteed that money. The second bucket could be 154 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 3: lower risk, lower volatility and ability to gain more cash 155 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 3: and then just keep repeating that process over and over. Chris, 156 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 3: and I think that is where when we show the 157 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: bucket planning in its entire they look at it and 158 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 3: they go, this is what I want. 159 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 4: This is exactly what I. 160 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: Want, absolutely, And that's why when we invest money into 161 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: different allocations and buckets, this is a reason. There's a purpose. 162 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: You know, most advisors you meet with, you know, how 163 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: much money do you have, and they just put you 164 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: in an allocation and that's it and they go onto 165 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: the next client. But that's that's just regular transactional advisors. 166 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: And you think about it. Do you want to work 167 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: with a transactional advisor or do you want to work 168 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: with a complete advisor. And that's what we do here 169 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: because when we do bucket planning, every account you have 170 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: is going to have a purpose, whether it's for income, 171 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: whether it's for future inflation, whether it's for growth opportunities 172 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: or legacy tax free planning. These things that our clients 173 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: are looking for and we can help you. Just pick 174 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: up the phone, schedule time to meet with us eight 175 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 2: three three Magi Tax and visit our website at Magi 176 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: tax dot com for more information where our locations are 177 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: and how we can help you. 178 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,239 Speaker 3: And I think what you just mentioned to make it simple, 179 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 3: it's called managing risk. And the third thing, think of 180 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: money this way. Typically, the greater risk you take in 181 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 3: investing can mean greater rewards. We all know that, but 182 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 3: also brings the potential for greater losses and vice versa. 183 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 3: So when it comes to safer retirement strategies, one thing 184 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 3: to also consider is too safe might bring a very 185 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: low return. And I get that, but think about the 186 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 3: rates today. That's what we have and in causing you 187 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: to lose purchasing power to inflation, we understand that too, 188 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: and we have to address that. So let's get to 189 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: the bucket planning, folks. This is something that all of 190 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: you could do. I challenge all of you to come 191 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: in and sit down with us. We'll do the free 192 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 3: risk analysis for you. We'll do bucket planning, and we'll 193 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: do it with your money. And one thing last week, 194 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 3: the gentlemen said, well, this is not your money that 195 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 3: you figured into this, and I said, no, it's your money. 196 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 3: He said, that's wonderful, because most advisors just think that 197 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 3: they should put it into risky investments. 198 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 4: And let it ride. Well, that's not it, Chris anymore. 199 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean there's paychecks and also playchecks. There's a 200 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: lot of things you can do to have the guaranteed income. 201 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: We talk about bucket planning. The first bucket we structure 202 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: for income needed early in retirement, and we want to 203 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: look for the percentage of ADSs that can deliver enough 204 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: income to last five to seven years. That's your first bucket. 205 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: And we want this first bucket to be in retirement 206 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: vehicles that can deliver a decent return outpace inflation, yet 207 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 2: still have some downside protection so we minimize the investment losses. 208 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: This is your protection bucket. And then second we look 209 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: at a second bucket. And with this bucket, you know 210 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: you can enjoy the income from the first bucket living 211 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: your life. And we've got the second bucket accumulating and 212 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: ready to begin income when the first bucket is exhausted. 213 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: So think of it this way. One runs dry in 214 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: five to seven years, the second bucket is right there 215 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 2: to pick up where it left off because that's the 216 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 2: guaranteed income that we need to have moving forward. So 217 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: with the second bucket, we're really not immediately reliant on 218 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: the income in this bucket. You know, we've got that 219 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: five to seven year timeframe to take a little more 220 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: risk as market fluctuation is less of a concern because 221 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 2: we have time on our side, and ideally the percentage 222 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 2: of as as we place in the second bucket accumulates 223 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 2: during that five to seven year time frame and then 224 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: we turn it on for income for another five to 225 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: seven years of guaranteed income for life. 226 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: Okay, So we just talked about the first two buckets, 227 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 3: so we're gonna continue this in the next segment and 228 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 3: we'll talk about the third bucket.

Now you're 243 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: host with Maggie Tax and Wealth Advisors Robert and Chris Maggie. 244 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 3: Welcome back and you listen to the Maggie Tax and 245 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: Financial Show. I'm here with my son Chris Maggie. And 246 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 3: if you just joined this, we've been talking about bucket 247 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 3: planning and how to manage risk. You always get questions 248 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 3: about how much income do you need when you retire, 249 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: and the biggest concern is if I'm going to run 250 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 3: out of money. So we just talked about the first 251 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: two buckets. So now let's get to the last bucket, 252 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 3: because the third bucket we ideally aren't touching for income 253 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: for ten to fifteen years. 254 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: And Chris, you talked about it earlier. 255 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 3: The first bucket was like for the first five to 256 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 3: seven years and then it disappears. 257 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 4: It's gone. 258 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 3: But then you pick up the second bucket for the 259 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: next seven to ten years and then it disappears. But 260 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 3: let's talk about what happens in the third bucket because 261 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 3: the money doesn't disappear, correct, absolutely, and that's real. 262 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 2: We got some real time on our side to let 263 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 2: the market do what the market does. And our plan 264 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: would be to place the percentage of assets in this 265 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: bucket and we can grow this over time, you know, 266 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: many years, and it'll be greater than the original amount 267 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: that we started with and at that point, reassess income 268 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: needs and we can start a new plan all over again, 269 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: because the third bucket grows back to the original amount 270 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: that we put in. So it's a great way to 271 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: really optimize your assets and develop an income plan. 272 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question. When we show this 273 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: the first bucket, they know the income is there and 274 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: then they see the second bucket. But when you put 275 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 3: the money in the third bucket and it grows for 276 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 3: ten years, the biggest question we get is, you know, well, 277 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: if the market goes down, if the market goes up, 278 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: but don't they have a better option that during that 279 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: tenure period for you to manage that risk. When the 280 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 3: market goes down, you can keep it low, but when 281 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: it goes up, they're going to take advantage of the games. 282 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: Well that's just it. You want to take advantage of 283 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 2: the opportunities that are out there, and with time on 284 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: your side, you're able to do that. So we can 285 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: have a guaranteed plan, we call it the green plan, 286 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: which there's no risk at all, just guaranteed income creating 287 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: your own family pension. Or we can have a plan 288 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: with what you like, some risk and that we use 289 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: yellow money in that bucket. We can have income for life. 290 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: We can have the accounts grow, we could take the 291 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 2: dividends their dividend portfolios that we can access that you 292 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: can take each and every month for income for life. 293 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: So when you start thinking about this, there are ways 294 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 2: to structure an income plan. So when many people out there, 295 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: they don't know what to do, right, So the thought 296 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: process comes to your mind. I've accumulated all this money, 297 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 2: what do I do with it. We met with a 298 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 2: girl last week and she has a million dollars in 299 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: a retirement account. She has a pension that's about to 300 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 2: come in and also social Security, and she says, I 301 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: want to retire. I just don't know what to do 302 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 2: with the million dollars to generate the income. How do 303 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: I go about doing it? So I showed to the 304 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 2: bucket planning and she was amazed, and she said, oh, 305 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: my gosh, I had no idea. You're telling me I 306 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: can create three different buckets, have income for life, and 307 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 2: then in ten years my million dollars is going to 308 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: still be there. I'll just be taking income or interest 309 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: for the remaining years. 310 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. But one thing other that's amazing. 311 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: She's thought this was a great plan because she never 312 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 2: saw this before. 313 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 4: Sorry to interrupt you. 314 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: One other thing that was very important with you said, 315 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 3: and we've had many clients talk about this. When you 316 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 3: do the income or the bucket planning, at the end, 317 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: they want to leave that money to their beneficiaries, and 318 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 3: a substantial amount too, so they're not worried too much 319 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 3: at that point when we show how bucket planning works, 320 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: because number one, you're taking care of you your income 321 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: for life, and then when you visit the angels in 322 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: the sky, then the rest goes to your beneficiaries the 323 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: way you want it. 324 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: I mean, how simple is that, Chris. 325 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: No, that's just the way it works. And when you 326 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: develop an income plan, that's what we're talking about. You 327 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: can have an investment plan, an income plan, a tax 328 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: plan all one. So when you do this, you have 329 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: to meet with the right advisor, because most advice is 330 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: just their transactional advisors. They just deal with investments, and well, 331 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 2: anybody can deal with investments. You can manage your own money. 332 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: But when you talk about what's your income plan if 333 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: you don't have one, how's the time to pick up 334 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: the phone and schedule time to meet with us.

Watch 339 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: our show every Sunday on ABC at ten thirty am 340 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: for the Magi Tax and Financial Show. 341 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 3: Here's a critical point many of you I'm probably thinking, 342 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: when do we reassess the plan? Well, we do that 343 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: automatically because we want to see if it's if it's 344 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 3: going the right way. So we reassess income needs and 345 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 3: we can start a new plan all over again if 346 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: we had to. Because remember, something life changes. Maybe you'll 347 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: inherit some money and you get some extra money. You 348 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: might just win some money in the lotto if that's 349 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 3: the way it is. But it's about reassessing your plan 350 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: and doing it maybe annually or semiannually. And I may 351 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 3: have made that sound simple, and I can tell you 352 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 3: we put a lot more detail together when we finalize 353 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: a plan. And remember, finalize your plan, not our plan. 354 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 3: We call it the Maggie plan. But it's a tax plan, 355 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 3: it's an income plan, it's an investment plan. But I 356 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 3: hope that simple strategy and thought process that we talked 357 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: about today gives you a different way to look at investing. 358 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 3: Take the time and pick up the phone and let's 359 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 3: have a conversation. And Chris and I talk about this 360 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 3: all the time people have met with us. It's a conversation. 361 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 3: What are you worried about? What keeps you up at night? 362 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 3: And one more thing to add, life doesn't always work 363 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 3: as simple as I just stated with this today with 364 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 3: bucket planning, So draw your plan in pencil.

Chris, you know they 366 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: can make changes all the time, not pen But. 367 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 2: Here's the thing though, with the difference is that when 368 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: you have a retirement plan and you drop a plan, 369 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 2: you can change it. You can modify it, you can 370 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 2: make things happen where it benefits you and that's what 371 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: it's about. You know, you work so hard. This is 372 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: your blood, sweat and tears. This is your money.

And 442 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 3: it's really simple. Everyone that works you make income, right, 443 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 3: who's the first one that you have to pay Uncle 444 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: sam Oh? So let's just say you make twenty thousand 445 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 3: last year and you make fifty thousand this year, you've 446 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 3: increased by thirty thousand. Is that thirty thousand free, Chris. 447 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 2: Nope, you have to pay uncle sam Oh. 448 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 4: You have to pay Uncle Sam. 449 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 3: See I'm making light of this because this is where 450 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: people getting confused. When I talked about the five ways 451 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: that taxes are going to go up, so many of 452 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 3: you assume that your taxes will be lower in the future. 453 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: Not true, it's not true. 454 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 3: But as today's retirees are discovering that's often not the case, 455 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 3: and we see this every day. In a perfect example 456 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: is when you make more money, your tax bracket's gonna 457 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 3: go up, you have to pay more. So if taxes 458 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 3: keep going up and the tax brackets keep rising, you 459 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 3: get less. So we can help you understand the five 460 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 3: ways your taxes could go up in retirement. And again, 461 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 3: I have a brochure. If you want to call my office, 462 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: just give me your email.

Well, come to one of our seminars and 465 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: I'll give you that at the seminar, and how we 466 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 3: can help you mitigate that tax risk. Think about that. 467 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 3: Does your advisor talk about mitigating tax risk? No, they 468 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 3: talk about, you know, putting more money in another account. 469 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 3: So from the congressional spending to tax bracket changes, you're 470 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 3: going to learn how to position taxes in your retirement. 471 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 3: And every news item out of watching con seems to 472 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 3: include details of a new. 473 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: Or expanded tax. Let me ask you a question. 474 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 3: So the total government revenue in twenty twenty two was 475 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 3: four point nine trillion. That's what the government takes in 476 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 3: in revenue. That was in twenty twenty two. Total government 477 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 3: spending in fiscal year twenty two was six point three trillion. 478 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 4: Do the math. 479 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 3: It's like, you know you have a credit card, you 480 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 3: got to pay it back, Okay, but we're not even 481 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 3: paying back half of it. 482 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 2: Chris, Well, that's just said. I mean things you can't control. 483 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 2: We know that the government is spending more. That's not 484 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: a topic we want to go into right now. It 485 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 2: is what it is. They're spending more than they take in. 486 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 2: But what does that mean to you? What does that 487 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: mean to me? 488 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 4: Right? 489 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 2: What does it mean to our generation? It means that 490 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 2: we are going to pay more in tax because they 491 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: know how much money you have in iras. They know 492 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 2: how much money you have in formal case, they know 493 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: how much money you have in a TSP if you're 494 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 2: a federal employee. They know these are all qualified accounts 495 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 2: that are infected with tax. So very simple. You're exposed 496 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: to tax risk. You're exposed to legislative risk, where they 497 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 2: can change the rules. What I mean by that is 498 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: they can change the rules on how much they tax 499 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: you they tax me. Right, these are things that we 500 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: need to start controlling today. And you can if you 501 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 2: put together a tax plan.

Because when we put 506 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: together a tax plan, we can put together an income plan. 507 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: And what's better having taxable income or tax free income? 508 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: And when you can show a tax return like we 509 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: do to our clients in retirement that I don't care 510 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: if they increase taxes because our clients' plans have tax 511 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 2: free money. So when they retire and they take income 512 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 2: and government says, well, we need to pay our deficet 513 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 2: and we need to increase taxes, our clients aren't affected 514 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: by that because they have a tax plan. That's what 515 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 2: we can do for you. So pick up the phone, 516 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 2: schedule a time to meet with us. Eight three to 517 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: three Maggie tax. That's eight three three Maggie tax. 518 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 3: And this is a race that we all must learn 519 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 3: to win where we're ahead of it, not behind it, 520 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 3: because that's when people get in trouble. In at every 521 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 3: seminar that we do, this is the question that we 522 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 3: ask the audience, and I'm asking all of you. How 523 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 3: many people think taxes are going up in the future, 524 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: and I know everybody raises their hand. Nearly everyone raised 525 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 3: their hands because it's going to go up. So the 526 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 3: point Chris and I are making today is tax planning 527 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 3: is essential. You've got to start thinking about it. Whether 528 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,239 Speaker 3: you have low income or high income, it doesn't make 529 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 3: a difference. Yet, while you understand we've entered it into 530 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 3: a rousing tax environment, surprisingly few of you have used 531 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 3: that knowledge to change how you save for retirement. And 532 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 3: if your advisor's not talking to you about this, which 533 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 3: is why we say, go to my retirement calculator on 534 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 3: Maggie tax dot com and see for yourself what your 535 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 3: tax is going to be. 536 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: Chris, that's very important. Well let's just talk about that. 537 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: You know, when we meet with clients, what are we seeing. 538 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: We're seeing tons of RRAH accounts, tons of Form with 539 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: K accounts, tons of these accounts that are deferred. We 540 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 2: see this, and they've been with their advisors for years. 541 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: They're not doing the right job. I'll tell you what, Yeah, 542 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 2: anyone can manage your money. You can manage yourself with 543 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 2: this market where it's at and the amount of money 544 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: they're pumping in and the environment they're playing with, the 545 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 2: interest rates, everyone's making money. That's easy, that's the easy 546 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 2: part of it. But what about the end of the game. 547 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 2: You know, when you think about a football game and 548 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 2: you're up at halftime, you're all happy because you're up 549 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 2: by forty points, but guess what, You've got to finish 550 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: the game. And that's where Uncle Sam comes in, and 551 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 2: that's where he blows it right by you and you 552 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: lose forty three to forty because you did not have 553 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 2: a tax plan. So pick up the phone, scaled time 554 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 2: to meet with us. Let's put together an investment plan. 555 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 2: Let's put together an income plan. Let's put together that 556 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: tax plan that you need to generate guaranteed safety and 557 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 2: also income in the future. What's wrong with going to 558 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 2: the mailbox every month when you're retired, pick it up 559 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: a check and that's tax free money and spending the 560 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 2: heck out of it and doing it all over again 561 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 2: for the rest of your life. How cool would that be? 562 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 2: Because when you hear the news and hear all the 563 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: drama and they talk about, oh my gosh, taxes are 564 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: going to go up. Tax are the highest it's ever 565 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 2: been you can say and put a smile on your 566 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: face and say that doesn't affect They're not higher, they're 567 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 2: lower is the lowest point. But how cool could it 568 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: be in the future when that happens that you don't 569 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 2: have to be affected by it. That's why we can 570 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: put together a tax plan eight three three magi tax. 571 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 2: Get the tax plan.

I think that's more important getting you education 597 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 3: and understanding the language than feeding people. And you know what, 598 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 3: I've done that for years and it's okay, but it's 599 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 3: not what I want. If you want information, then you 600 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 3: come to my seminar.

And here's the word, mitigate risk. Chris, 605 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 3: does any advisor are talking about mitigate risk? No, they 606 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 3: don't talk about that. That that's why it's so disappointing. 607 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 3: Think about it. You don't have clients like we see this. 608 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 3: We meet with clients and they come in with statements. 609 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 3: Yeah it's five hundred thousand, Yeah it's one point two million. Yeah, 610 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 3: it's three hundred thousand. Yeah it's four million. It doesn't matter. 611 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, there's no planning. There's 612 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 3: no planning. It's just investment accounts. You've got piles of money. 613 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 3: We see in this. This is what advisors are doing. 614 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 3: They're just dealing with investments. Yeah, you have money. 615 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: I don't care. The fact of the matter is what's 616 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 2: the end of the game look like for you? The 617 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 2: tax side of this, Because yeah, you can have four 618 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: million bucks, but guess what when we run the tax 619 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 2: time calculator and that four million dollars is not worth 620 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 2: four million, It's worth two million, or it's worth two 621 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 2: point five million. Guess what, Uncle Sam is your partner. 622 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: How do you remove Uncle Sam from your partner forever 623 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: and ever and ever so we can show you how 624 00:27:59,280 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 2: to do. 625 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 3: This is understanding that you just said that people have 626 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 3: I have a lot of money. 627 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 4: I have two million, I have one million, I have 628 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 4: five hundred thousand. 629 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 2: No you don't. 630 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 3: Here's the question that we ask every single person that 631 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 3: comes into meets with us. How much income do you 632 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 3: need per month? Forget about how much you have, how 633 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 3: much do you need per month? 634 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 4: Am I right? Or wrong, and then where we going 635 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 4: to get it from? 636 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 3: And then when you start looking at the numbers and 637 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 3: you start budgeting and you start figuring out, well I 638 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 3: only need this amount and I'm okay, let the risk 639 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 3: grow and put on a tax free basis. Why would 640 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 3: you not want to do that? So how do we 641 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 3: do that? It's real simple. We use a process. We 642 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 3: have a process at Maggie Tax. We identify the risk. 643 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 3: And this is so important because older people are taking 644 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 3: more risk than they need to and the advisor's not 645 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 3: talking about risk management we do. We want to quantify 646 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 3: that risk because maybe you're taking too much risk and 647 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 3: we can reduce the risks you have more tax free money. 648 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 3: And here's the thing, write this down. We're going to 649 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 3: build a plan to mitigate to mitigate that risk. You 650 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 3: know what, I challenge all of you. Go to your advice, 651 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 3: go to your CPA and ask them this question, how 652 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 3: do you mitigate my tax risk? 653 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 4: And then be quiet. 654 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 3: I guarantee you they're going to look at you and 655 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 3: gonna stare at you like, what are you talking about? 656 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 3: Mitigate lower the tax risk. So it started with the 657 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: market savers wanted to and this is what Chris was 658 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 3: talking about before, and they needed the power of the 659 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: stock market to grow their funds. It was a simple formula, 660 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 3: there was nothing wrong with it. They put money aside, 661 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 3: invest in the stock market, and. 662 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 4: Watch it grow. Oh man, this is growing great, right. 663 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 3: Chris, Until it didn't. Until it didn't, and it's gonna 664 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,719 Speaker 3: happen again. So during the market downturn, savers learned about 665 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 3: what risks. What kind of risk Chris, there's different types. 666 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 3: Are at market risk? 667 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: Right? Inflation risk? We see that, what about tax risk? 668 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 2: These are things we're talking about. So do you have 669 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 2: a plan?

You say this, 717 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 3: you say the long time, and then you think it's yours. 718 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 3: Then you got to give it back to Uncle Sam 719 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 3: or the irs. It's just something you have to deal with. No, 720 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 3: that's not true either. You can do tax planning and 721 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 3: you could reduce your tax and have tax free money. 722 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 3: So it's something you should worry about and you'll be 723 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 3: in a lower tax bracket when you retire. No, you 724 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 3: won't not if the Trump tax cuts expire. And you 725 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 3: see the way they're spending money, you know, because it's 726 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 3: gonna cost us more, every single one of us, and 727 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 3: they're going to take it out of your IRA You 728 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,239 Speaker 3: four oh one K, you four three B and that's 729 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: where the money is gonna come from. 730 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 4: Why. 731 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 2: So that's the big thing. I mean, Uncle Sam knows 732 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 2: how much money is invested in iras. In formal case, 733 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 2: there's a fair market value that they get each and 734 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 2: every year. They know how much there's trillions of dollars 735 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 2: that are before tax. That all they have to do 736 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 2: is increase the taxes by a couple of different percentage 737 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 2: points and guess what, that's more revenue. So they know, 738 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 2: and they know you're strapped because they know that you 739 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 2: can't do anything about it unless you do planning. So 740 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 2: that's what we're talking about today. If you do not 741 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 2: have a tax plan, if you do not have an 742 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 2: income plan, if you don't have an investment plan, then 743 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 2: pick up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. 744 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 2: Let's show you strategies where you can reduce your taxes. 745 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 2: Let's show you some strategies where you can offset the 746 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 2: money that comes out of an IRA to a roth ira. 747 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 2: How do you go about doing this? Well, we can 748 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 2: help pick up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. 749 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 2: Eight three three Maggie. 750 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 4: Tax. 751 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 2: We don't want you to hear the stories or your 752 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 2: friends say, hey, don't worry about it, or you're gonna 753 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 2: be in a lower tax bracket in retirement. How do 754 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 2: they know? It's your situation, your situation. So get together 755 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 2: with us, let's put together a plan, and let's show 756 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 2: you where you're at now and where you're going to 757 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 2: be in the future. 758 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 3: So the story is also tax procrastination. Nobody's worried about 759 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 3: it until you have to worry about it. And most 760 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 3: times when you worry about it is when you do 761 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 3: your taxes every year. 762 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 2: And it's too late at that point because again, all 763 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 2: you have to file for the previous year. So get 764 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: it ahead of it. And that's what we're talking about. 765 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: We call it strategic planning, and you can do that. 766 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 2: So this and this is another thing here. 767 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 3: Think about that the structure of the four oh one 768 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 3: K was always set up against lower paid or middle 769 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 3: class workers from the very beginning because you're taking money, 770 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 3: you're putting in at tax deferred. Okay, now you get 771 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 3: to retire at seventy three and you have to take 772 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 3: to RMD or before that and it's taxable. But many 773 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 3: retirees payback decades. Write this down decades worth of tax 774 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 3: savings in the first three to six years of retirement 775 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 3: and every three to six years thereafter. So why are 776 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 3: you procrastinating, Why are you believing those stories that are 777 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 3: not true. Take a stance here and get in front 778 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 3: of it. Get in front of it and do some 779 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 3: tax planning. That's what Chris and I do all the time. 780 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 3: And like I said before, I know this is going 781 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 3: to sound weird, but this over fifteen hundred tax strategies 782 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 3: that you can use. Not that every one of them 783 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 3: is going to fit you, but there are some that 784 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 3: you can use. And I'm telling you right now, you 785 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 3: probably don't even know about it. Christ And that's the 786 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 3: mistake people to make it you just don't know what 787 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 3: you don't know. So if you're listening today, you need 788 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 3: to know this is your retirement. Don't get caught up 789 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 3: where we've seen clients that they can't do any thing 790 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 3: about it because they're stuck. Don't get stuck in retirement. 791 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 3: Get ahead of it. That's who we're discussing here today. 792 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 3: So pick up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. 793 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 3: Let's put together a plan. Let's look at what you 794 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 3: have now'll we tell you. We'll tell you if you're 795 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 3: in a good tax situation or you're not. We can 796 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 3: run a mock tax return right in front of you, 797 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 3: and I can show you what your future tax is 798 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 3: going to be. When you're taking Social Security, you know, 799 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 3: when you're taking money from your investments, when you're taking 800 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 3: money from your dividus, whatever it is. I can show 801 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 3: you today what it's going to be. And then you 802 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 3: can say, well, hey, that's not what I want to pay. 803 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 3: I want to pay less. Well, how do you go 804 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 3: about doing it? Then let's put together a plan. Then 805 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 3: do it for you. 806 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 2: Eight three to three Maggie Tax, get ahead of the game, 807 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 2: Magi tax dot com. 808 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 3: So let me throw something else at you. The five 809 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 3: risks in retirement. Number one market risk and Chris, I 810 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 3: mean everybody has money, not everybody, but because a lot 811 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 3: of people have money in the market, but it goes up, 812 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 3: it goes down. 813 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 4: And when you lose money in the market. 814 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 3: You don't get it back, but you still have to 815 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 3: pay taxes on the game if you do. What about 816 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 3: income risk? How many of you were concerned about how 817 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 3: much income? One of the questions that Chris and I 818 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 3: ask everyone that comes in how much income do you 819 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 3: need at the mailbox every month to live your life? 820 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 3: And that is the most confusing question when we ask 821 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 3: that because people don't think about that because when you 822 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 3: retire you have to have guaranteed income. 823 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 2: What about health risk? 824 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 4: Right now? 825 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 3: I had a gentleman the other day. He called me. 826 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 3: He's got a problem with his kidneys. I feel very 827 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 3: bad for him, but he said, Bobby, I don't think 828 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 3: I have a long time to live, and I want 829 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 3: to make sure my wife is going to be taken 830 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 3: care of. So his health is not good, but he's 831 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 3: got his investments correct and his beneficiary is correct. He's 832 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 3: got a state planning.
