I think a lot of folks get confused 46 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: about income planning. So we're going to talk about why 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: income planning isn't just for retirees. It's for everyone listening 48 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: to today's show, whether you're young, or middle aged or retired, 49 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: you have to start thinking about income planning. How aligning 50 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: income with life goals creates financial clarity. Again, many people 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 2: don't think about, you know, longevity about you know, you're 52 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: in your forties. I'm older obviously, But if you start 53 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: young and you start putting a plan together, that's what 54 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: income planning is about. And I want to talk about 55 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: common myths that hold people back from planning effectively. I 56 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: don't have time, I'm not making enough money, you know, 57 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: because you talk about this all the time. And when 58 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: you were younger, and I know when I was younger, 59 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: I used to cut grass, I used to you know, 60 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: shovel snow, and I used to get twenty bucks or 61 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: twenty five dollars, And my dad would say, you've got 62 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: to put and you've got to put something away. Take 63 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 2: five dollars, put it away, ten dollars, put it away, 64 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: and just put it away and forget about it like 65 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: you never got it. And I think the mistake that 66 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: people make is that they spend. They spend, they spend. 67 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: And now, as you and I know, I've been doing 68 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: this for over thirty years, how many people we see 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: that do not plan for retirement and are not ready 70 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 2: to retire or they think they got a work pissed 71 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: a certain age because they just didn't plan. And I 72 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: think Chris, for you, you're a young guy, and for 73 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: young people out there, you have to start somewhere. Well. 74 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: As just said, so you know when you're discipline and 75 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: I know, life happens, right, you have kids, you have 76 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 3: a job. People, a lot of people are moving jobs 77 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: and they have old form one k's which you need 78 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 3: to roll these old forone on cas New Ira and 79 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: we can show you how to do that. So if 80 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: you have a a couple of different old form one case, 81 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: we can show you. But in coomplaining is start thinking 82 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: about your own paychecks and play checks. That's the biggest thing. 83 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: And that's some of the myths that people have. Would 84 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: you just say, you know, you have to keep up 85 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: with some of the expenses, and you have to pay 86 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: our mortgage and our car payment, and life happens. 87 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: I get it. 88 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: But if you could just understand, if you're early enough 89 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 3: and you're young enough, put money away consistently. You know, 90 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: you try to live off of one person's income, but 91 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 3: if that doesn't happen, but then you need to live 92 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 3: off of both. But you still can try to find 93 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 3: to put money away in a bucket because it's going 94 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 3: to you need to create your own income plan in 95 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: the future. And if you're about to retire or you're retired, 96 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: and if you have these buckets that are just piles 97 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 3: of money, you need to turn it into an income stream. 98 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 3: So the power is so important with your future income 99 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: and you need to have a purpose to do it. 100 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: And while you're saving, put that money away. But when 101 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: you have the buckets, let's create an income stream. 102 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: And one thing that I would use, it's a habit, 103 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: and it's a habit that you have to do. Like 104 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: you brush your teeth every day, you take a shower. 105 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: That's a habit. It's the same thing with saving, Chris, 106 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: I mean your daughter and your son. Give an example, 107 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: my granddaughter or your daughter seve years old, and I 108 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: said to her yesterday, what do you do when you 109 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: get money? She says, I put it in my piggy bank. 110 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: I said, what does your brother do? Oh, he spends 111 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: it on baseball cards? I said, does he save? She 112 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 2: says no, not exactly. So there's a perfect example. And 113 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: this is coming from your kids. This is the truth. 114 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: Your Your daughter's a she's a thrill. I mean, she's 115 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: I save it. She said, it goes in my piggy bank. 116 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: So what what what example does that set? You know? 117 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: Well, that's just it the discipline. You know, she's seven, right, 118 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: but that's just her mentality. She doesn't want to want 119 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: to spend it. 120 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: She keeps it. 121 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 3: But you got my son who wants to spend on 122 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: everything he's got. 123 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: So what do you do. 124 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 3: You have to have a discipline approach, right, And that's 125 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 3: why when you're early on, try to save as much 126 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: as you can. But when you're at the point you 127 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: need to create income buckets. 128 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 2: Well stay with that for a second, because people don't 129 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: know how much to save. That's a big question you 130 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 2: and I get all the time. And if you use 131 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: your age minus one hundred where you can start putting 132 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: money into safe investments or even part into a savings account, 133 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: and then as you get older and time goes on, 134 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: you could start bumping that up and then it becomes 135 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: a lot of money. 136 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 3: That's right, you know, in time, time is great when 137 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 3: you have the value of time and the interest rates 138 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 3: and a compounding interest. We can show you how to 139 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: create those buckets and invest those buckets. So diversifying income 140 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 3: streams and building financial resilience is as important as putting 141 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: money away. You know, you want to explore active income 142 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: sources and also passive income sources. Do you have rental properties, 143 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: do you have interest dividends or your investments giving you 144 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 3: the income you want? Or is it from social security 145 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 3: or a pension. These are things that we have to 146 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: talk about. So when you come in to meet with us, 147 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: we can put together an income plan for you. You know, 148 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 3: what about what about side hustles or you know, putting 149 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: money getting money from side investments. It could be maybe 150 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 3: your own contractor or a part time job. You know, 151 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 3: these are things that we're talking about, but there are 152 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,119 Speaker 3: real life examples of diversified income strategies that work. People 153 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: are living off of their income streams. They are buckets 154 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 3: of money that are generating income. So if you have 155 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 3: questions and want to know how to do that for yourself, 156 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: pick up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. 157 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: Let's get together. Eight three three, Maggie tax, let's talk 158 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: about income. What about tax efficient income strategies? 159 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: Well, good point. There the biggest problem I see, you 160 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: know a question we get how to structure income to 161 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 2: minimize tax liability. It's pretty simple. The more money you make, 162 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: the more tax you're going to pay. But every year 163 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: I hear the same thing and they tell Chris and 164 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: I I'm paying too much in taxes, and the truth 165 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: is you're not paying enough in taxes. And right now 166 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: we all know that Trump tax cuts were extended, which 167 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: is a good thing. So when you come in and 168 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: meet with us, we can explain to you how it's 169 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: going to benefit you not hurt you. And I think 170 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: that's going to be It's a big question. It's a 171 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: big question on everybody's mind. So you know, once you 172 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: understand what you make and what you have to pay 173 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: in taxes and the deductions. You might be surprised because 174 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: you might not pay as much tax as you think 175 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: you're going to. 176 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: Well, let's just sit too, and let's add on that. 177 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: Because the people get income, we meet with clients and 178 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 3: we do reviews. They get any income, but a lot 179 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: of them are the most tax efficient way. But then 180 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: we see new clients come in and they're getting income 181 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: and paying a lot in tax, and then their sole 182 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: securities getting taxes as much as eighty five percent. They're 183 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 3: not really sure how to way is to reduce it. 184 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: That's why tax efficient income strategies are so important, and 185 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: the role of your retirement accounts and capital gains tax 186 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: and tax brackets. You know, these are things that you 187 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: have to be aware of. And if you're working with 188 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: an advisor who's not even talking about tax efficient income, 189 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: then you need to do something about it because you're 190 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: going to be paying more in tax. You're leaving money 191 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: on the table that's going to Uncle Sam, that should 192 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: be going to you and your family. And I was 193 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 3: giving an example at a client that came in last week. 194 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 3: Perfect example. They would take it out ten thousand dollars 195 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: from their IRA account and the broker said, go ahead 196 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 3: and do that. Meanwhile, if they took the ten thousand 197 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: from the non IRA account, they'll pay no tax. The 198 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 3: solid security wouldn't got taxed. But now the broker advised 199 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: them to take it from a different distribution source and 200 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 3: it caused more tax, and the solid security got tax 201 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: on top of it. And that's where it's so important 202 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: to make sure you have tax efficient strategies. 203 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: And that's what we can help you with. Well, go 204 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 2: back to one thing. We talk about retirement accounts. Right now, 205 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: the biggest question people ask is the rmds and how 206 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: much they have to take out, you know, what capital 207 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 2: gains they have on their retirement accounts. These are all 208 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: questions that you have that you need to call us 209 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 2: right now. Income planning for retirement turn your assets into paychecks. 210 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: Turn your assets into paychecks. And the only reason why 211 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 2: I say that twice is because you probably don't know 212 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 2: how to do that, how to transition from earning to withdrawing. 213 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: You know, you work all your life, you save, but 214 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: then you have to know how to withdraw that money, 215 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 2: and like Christen, in the most tax efficient way. You know, 216 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 2: there are strategies for sustainable withdrawals. The rule was four 217 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 2: percent rule, you know, take four percent out, four percent out, 218 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: but that's changed. What we do is we do bucket planning. 219 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 2: And bucket planning is a lot easier to understand than 220 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: just withdrawing and deleting that account. So social security, we 221 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 2: talk about pensions and annuities. What to know and how 222 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 2: to plan.

Today 247 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: we're talking about investment planning, but not just in terms 248 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: of charts and returns. We're talking about investing in your future, 249 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: in your family and your freedom, and that's what you 250 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 2: all should be thinking about. I'll never forget one client, 251 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: a single mom working two jobs, just trying to make 252 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 2: ends meet, and she didn't think investing was for her. 253 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: But we started small, like I said before, with a 254 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: plan built around her goals. Five years later, she had 255 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: enough saved to buy her first home and start a 256 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 2: college fund for her daughter and she cried. She cried 257 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: in my office when we told her, well, she told me, 258 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: actually not because of the money, but because she finally 259 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: felt secure. She finally felt hope. And that's what all 260 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: of you might be feeling right now. But it can 261 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: be done. That's what investment planning is really about. It's 262 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 2: not just about wealth. It's about possibility. And today we're 263 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: going to explore how you can take control of your 264 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: financial future, one smart decision at a time. And Churse, 265 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: I think what the problem is that most people feel 266 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 2: they got to do it all at once and they 267 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: don't realize that. Think about it. We all grew up 268 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: as a baby. Okay, we didn't just jump into college. 269 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 2: You know, we didn't run. We crawled and then we walked, 270 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: and then we ran and then life goes on. It's 271 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: the same thing with you know, investing for your retirement 272 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: for life. Isn't that correct? Absolutely? 273 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 3: And that's why you have to define your purpose before 274 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 3: you start with different products. And investment planning is key 275 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: and my dad said it, said it well, it's about possibility. 276 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 3: And investment planning starts with the question or the word 277 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 3: why why are you saving for retirement? Why are you 278 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: saving for a child's education? Why are you saving for 279 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 3: financial independence? These are the things that we need to 280 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: understand what your goals are. Right. Knowing your goals help 281 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 3: determine your risk tolerance, your time horizon, as well as 282 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: the right mix of assets to choose from. So At 283 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 3: our firm, we do complete planning and as a registered 284 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 3: investment advisory firm, we have a plethora of strategies and 285 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 3: investments that we can help you. Whether it's safety, whether 286 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 3: it's for growth, whether it's for inflation, whether it's for 287 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 3: a lot of dividend producing, whatever it is, we can 288 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: help you. We just need to understand what you're looking for. 289 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: You know, it reminds me when I was younger, and 290 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: many many people out there might remember what I'm going 291 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: to talk about, But I used to save for a 292 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: Christmas club because I'd save, you know, five dollars a 293 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 2: week or ten. You could do twenty and probably many 294 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: of you shake in your head. But at the end, 295 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: by October November, I used to get a check from 296 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: the bank for five hundred dollars or one thousand dollars 297 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 2: to buy Christmas presents. And that's how I learned how 298 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: to shop but I also learned how to save. But 299 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: here's the thing, you know, what is your risk level 300 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 2: when you do that? How do you invest money to 301 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 2: make money not to lose money? Because many people just think, 302 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: you know, it's the best stock, it's the best bond. 303 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: That's not the case. It's investment planning and risk tolerance. Chris, 304 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: and you talk about risk all the time, and this 305 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: is for everybody, young and old. You can take some 306 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 2: risk when you're young, you can take less risk when 307 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: you're older.

We just talked about how to grow your 417 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 3: wealth through smart investment planning, but now we turn to 418 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 3: something even more important, protecting that wealth for people you love. 419 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 3: Because true financial success isn't just about what you build, 420 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 3: It's about what you leave behind. Estate planning is the 421 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: bridge between your hard work and your legacy, and without it, 422 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 3: your assets could end up tangled in probate, delayed, and 423 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 3: drained far from your future that you and vision for 424 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 3: your family, and you don't want that. So today we're 425 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: going to start out and show you and make sure 426 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 3: that your home, your accounts, your business, everything you work 427 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: so hard for passes smoothly, privately and powerfully to the 428 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 3: next generation, because that's what you deserve. It's not about 429 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 3: just having millions of dollars and only the wealthy can 430 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 3: do that. Everybody can do that if you just do 431 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: the right place planning. So let's talk about trusts and 432 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 3: wills and benefit serity designations and the tools that turn 433 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 3: planning into peace of mind. So this is more than 434 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 3: just paperwork. It's your legacy, and you know, let's protect 435 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 3: it together. And Dad, how many times do we see 436 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 3: people come in they got no plan, they got piles 437 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 3: of money, they come in all happy, Hey, this is 438 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 3: what I say. You look at my accounts, and but 439 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 3: again it's pretty much there's nothing under it to protect 440 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 3: it well. 441 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 2: Because no one took the time to educate them. And 442 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 2: think about it. You go to school to learn and 443 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: then you have to take a topic or a subject 444 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: and you get a test on it. And I don't 445 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: think anyone's ever you know, tested anybody on investment planning 446 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: or what we're talking about, you know, a state planning. 447 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: So let's kind of recap some of the things on 448 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 2: the investment plan that we talked about. Think about it. 449 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 2: You've built the wealth, now let's protect it. But the 450 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: other thing, like Chris is mentioning what do you do 451 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 2: with it? So a state planning, it's not just about money, 452 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: it's about meaning, what are you going to do with it? 453 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: How do you want it to pass your beneficiaries? Trust? Okay, 454 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 2: anything happens to me, my wife gets it. Anything apps 455 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 2: to my wife and I my two boys get it, 456 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: and anything appens to them. Guess where it passes down 457 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 2: to the grandkids. So when you think about that, is 458 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 2: that the kind of plan you have or you don't 459 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: even know yet? So you know it's basically an emotional hook. 460 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 2: What happens to your assets when you're gone? And Chris, 461 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 2: this is where I think people get I would say sidetracked. 462 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 2: But when they meet with an advisor, it's all about 463 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: selling them something. Think about it. They come in with 464 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: their statement, they give it to you know, a custodian, 465 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: and they invest it. But what happens after that? What 466 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: do they do with it? Do they keep it, do 467 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 2: they lose it? And then when they need money to 468 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 2: then the big question when you ask everybody this is 469 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 2: always a funny question, how much do you need every 470 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: month coming in the front door. When you ask that question, 471 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: people go, I don't know and that just bewilders me 472 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: all the time because no one that's a perfect point, Chris. 473 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 2: No one talks about it. That's just it. 474 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 3: And you know, I was listening to you and you 475 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 3: made a great question to listen listener here and to 476 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 3: me as well, listening. What happens when your assets to 477 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 3: your assets when you're gone? 478 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: Think about that. Let that digest for a minute. 479 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 3: Do you know and if you know totally in confirmation, 480 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 3: is one hundred percent that you know where it's going 481 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 3: to go, then that's a great thing. But I bet 482 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 3: you that most listeners today have a doubt, they have 483 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 3: questions in mind. 484 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 2: They don't know really where it's going to go. 485 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 3: I'm talking about your bank accounts. I'm talking about your 486 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 3: form case. So I'm talking about your IRA, your roth IRA, 487 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 3: your brokerage account. Think about those accounts. What are the 488 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 3: savings accounts that you have? What about your house? So 489 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 3: what do you do? Why is the state planning so 490 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 3: essential because you want to avoid probate? 491 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 2: What's probate? 492 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 3: Probates the court system that's who's going to make decisions 493 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 3: on your state and doesn't have to be that way. 494 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 3: There's delays, there's cost there's public exposure. 495 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 2: My gosh. 496 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 3: We have a piece in our office on celebrities who 497 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 3: went through probate.

Well, Chris and I are talking about 524 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 2: and what we see every day. It's really sad that 525 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 2: you don't know about something simple enough to get a 526 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: will or a trust you know or which one is better? 527 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: Even like if you have a home, I'll mention this 528 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: a quick claim deed or a lady bird deed. Why 529 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: am I mentioning that to avoid one thing? Chris, it's 530 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 2: called probate. How many clients do we see every day 531 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 2: they have you mentioned it before, millions of dollars in 532 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 2: their IRA four oh one k and they don't have 533 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: any of these documents. And you know how we find 534 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: out when the children come in and they say, you know, guys, 535 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 2: I can't get my money from my parents, it's going 536 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 2: through probate. Yeah, you think that's the reason. Why, So 537 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 2: do you want that to happen to you? And it's 538 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: the cheapest thing you could do? 539 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know when we hear those stories, we 540 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 3: just cringe. And then we started looking into where they 541 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 3: came from. And then you come to find out that 542 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: mom and dad had their advisor for twenty twenty five 543 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 3: years and then you say they didn't talk to them 544 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 3: about this. Wow, they manage their money really great. But 545 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 3: guess what now you got probaate cost and time and money. 546 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 3: How do you go about doing that? And that's why 547 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 3: if you have an advisor now and that's not talking 548 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 3: about total state planning and income planning and tax planning, 549 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 3: then I really raised the question that you should come 550 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: in and meet with us, because let's have a conversation. 551 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 3: If you're looking for a complete plan, we can help 552 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 3: eight three to three Maggie tax.

Okay, this is really important. 555 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 2: How many of you have done a beneficiary change or 556 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: a benefit Have you checked your beneficiaries? Because what Chris 557 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 2: just mentioned when some people pass and then we look 558 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 2: at the beneficiary. Guess what, it's not what you thought 559 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 2: it was because you did this ten, fifteen, twenty years ago. 560 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: So I challenge all of you give us a call, 561 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: sit down with us. Eight three to three, Maggie Tax. 562 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 2: Let's review your documents to see if they're correct.

How many of you have or 564 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 2: have not a power of attorney on healthcare directives? What 565 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: happens if something happens to you and you need a 566 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 2: healthcare decision to be made, Who's going to make it? Okay, 567 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 2: this is what we see every day, and this is 568 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: why we do the show because there's so many things 569 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: that you could do to make it better.

There's not that I 577 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: can do about it unless you want to do something 578 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 2: about it.

Visit our 585 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: website at Maggie tax dot com. That's M A G G, 586 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: I T A X dot com. All their informations right there. 587 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 3: But I'll give a quick example. I never forget this story. 588 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 3: I've been this a business over twenty years, and I'll 589 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 3: tell you the second year I was in this business, 590 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 3: I came across a client who had twenty thousand dollars 591 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 3: to her name, but her brother passed away who lived 592 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 3: in California, and he had two million dollars. So we 593 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 3: met with our client and we took care of her 594 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 3: because it's not about how much money you have, it's 595 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 3: about the whole process. So she came on in and 596 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 3: she told us, you know, her brother passed away, and 597 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 3: we felt terrible for her, and we found that some 598 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 3: information that he had two CDs with the same bank. 599 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 3: One million dollars was with one CD and the other 600 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 3: million dollars, which is with the. 601 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 2: Other But guess what. 602 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 3: The one CD had proper beneficiary designation where the other 603 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 3: one did not. So the million dollars went to her 604 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 3: and avoided probate because it was the right transfer, very 605 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 3: quickly and efficiently. But the other million it took eighteen months. 606 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 3: Eighteen months through probate. He had attorney costs, you had fees, 607 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: everyone knew about his public record and everything. And guess 608 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 3: what it call could have been avoided. So the same bank, 609 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 3: how did this all mess up? Because they didn't do 610 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 3: the proper planning. So pickup phone, schedule appointment today. Don't 611 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 3: let this happen to you.

You've worked hard, you've saved, you invested 615 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: and built a life worth protecting. But without a plan, 616 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: everything that you've built could be left to chance. That's 617 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 2: not a good plan. A state planning isn't just about 618 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: avoiding propriate It's about making sure that your family doesn't 619 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 2: have to fight through red tape while grieving. That's the 620 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 2: worst time. It's about clarity, compassion, and control. So ask yourself, 621 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: if something happened tomorrow, would your loved ones know what 622 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: to do? Would your wife know what to do? Would 623 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 2: your children know what to do? Would your assets go 624 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: to where you intended? Would your legacy be protected? And 625 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 2: that's important?

Why are you here to see 634 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 2: Chris and I today? And I think all of you 635 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 2: out there have to start asking that question. If you're 636 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 2: going to meet with the advisor, how can they help you? 637 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: What are they going to help you with? Just an investment? Folks, 638 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 2: that's not good. And that's why we're successful at what 639 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: we do on the Maggie Plan because we talk about taxes, 640 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 2: we talk about investments, we talk about social security, pensions. 641 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 2: We talk about wills, trust and everything else that goes 642 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 2: along with it. And you know what, if your advisor 643 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 2: is not doing that, shame on them. And one thing 644 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 2: Chris mentioned before, So what if you had an advisor 645 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 2: for twenty years, now go back and ask them why 646 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 2: they didn't finish the job. 647 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 3: But that's it, and that's why it's so important.

Every Sunday at ten 677 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: thirty on ABC TV, tune into the Maggie Tax and 678 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 2: Financial Show. We talk about a lot of things that 679 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: might help you out, So give us a call eight 680 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: three to three Maggie Tax, and think about it. You've 681 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 2: built the life protected your legacy and made sure you'll 682 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 2: love the ones won't be burdened by probate. We talked 683 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 2: about that before, but here's the question we really ask, 684 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 2: who's helping you connect all the dots? Because the state 685 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: planning is just one piece of the puzzle, and if 686 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 2: the rest of your financial life isn't aligned, even the 687 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 2: best plan can fall short. And here's the problem. The 688 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 2: problem too often is that people work with a tax 689 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: preparer in one corner, an investment advisor in another, and 690 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 2: maybe in a state attorney somewhere down the line. But 691 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: no one's talking to each other. And that's how things 692 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 2: get messed up. That's how things get missed. Beneficiaries don't match, 693 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 2: tax strategies, conflict with income plans, and opportunities slip through 694 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 2: the cracks. And that's the probably the biggest mistake and 695 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 2: the most common mistake most people make. So, Chris, what's 696 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 2: the solution to all this? How simple can it be? 697 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 3: Well, that's so important, and that's why you need a 698 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 3: complete advisor, someone who sees the full picture your taxes, 699 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 3: your investments, your retirement income, and your a state plan 700 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 3: and brings it all together. And a complete advisor doesn't 701 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 3: just react to problems, they anticipate them. They build strategies 702 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 3: that work in harmony, not isolation. And that's what we 703 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 3: do here. We call it the Maggie Plan, and that's 704 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 3: why we want you to visit our website, Maggie tax 705 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 3: dot com, because we can put it all together. If 706 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 3: you ever felt like your financial life is a stack 707 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 3: of disconnected folders, do you ever think about that, Well, 708 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 3: it's time to change that. And that's why you can 709 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 3: just pick up the phone. It starts with you pick 710 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 3: up the phone, schedule to meet with us. Let's sit 711 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 3: down and build a plan that's not just smart, it's 712 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 3: complete because your future doesn't deserve to have fragments. It 713 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 3: deserves a team that sees the whole view and mind. 714 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 3: And that's why we talk about complete planning. There's transactional 715 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 3: advisors out there, but then there's complete planners. And that's 716 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 3: why we set up our company this way because we 717 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 3: understand the tax side of things, the investment side, the 718 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 3: income planning, the estate planning, you know what about social 719 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 3: security and medicare planning. We can help it all this. 720 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 3: So we have the people in place in house, so 721 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 3: you don't have to go each and everywhere, and that's 722 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 3: why all you got to do is schedule appointment to 723 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 3: meet with us A three three Maggie Tacks. 724 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 2: You know, as you're talking about that thing came to 725 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 2: my mind. I mean, you know how silly I could get. 726 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 2: But what I'm going to do is make a puzzle. 727 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 2: And it's like a small puzzle, maybe an eight and 728 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 2: a half by eleven. And when clients come in, we're 729 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 2: going to give them the puzzle and see if they 730 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 2: could put it together. Maybe that might work. 731 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 3: It's hard enough with them as it is, because many 732 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 3: people see all honesty, you made a joke about it. 733 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 3: But you know, people come in and and they're confused 734 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 3: and they want help, right and they've been saying, I've 735 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 3: been wanting this for years, and I've listen to your 736 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 3: show for a long time, and you know, it hit 737 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 3: me a lot of times, and I want to do this. 738 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 3: And I asked them why haven't they done it? And 739 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 3: they said, well, time, you know, I just haven't gotten 740 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 3: to it. Or you know, I've been looking in but 741 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 3: I haven't found. Uh. This is a lot of different reasons, 742 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 3: but now is the time. The time is now. You 743 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 3: can't start over, but you can start right now. 744 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 2: And that's why we call it the Maggie Plan. It's 745 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 2: simple and easy to understand, and it's even easy if 746 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 2: we put the puzzle together for you. So eight three 747 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,919 Speaker 2: three Maggie Tax. This is on you, folks, It's on you. 748 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 2: All you got to do is pick up the phone, call, 749 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 2: spend some time, make an hour and appointment with us. 750 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 2: Let's go over the problems that you have. And like 751 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 2: I said before, what keeps you up at night? Is 752 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 2: it a state planning? Is it you had? Do you 753 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 2: have it in order? Do you have a will or trust? 754 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 2: Is it correct? Do you have a beneficiary reform? Is 755 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 2: it correct? Is it updated? We talk about the risk 756 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: of you know, maybe sometimes I think people get the 757 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 2: wrong advice, Chris, and I understand that, you know, they 758 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 2: go to one advisor and they get another one. But 759 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 2: you know, many people work with separate professionals, maybe a CPA, 760 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 2: a financial advisor, and then a state planning attorney, and 761 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 2: if they're not communicating, which I mentioned before, critical details 762 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 2: get missed. And Chris, we've talked about this where we 763 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 2: have a tax client done the tax return and it 764 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 2: was done incorrectly, and then they go to a CPA, 765 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 2: and the CPA gives some different advice. Wow, how I mean? 766 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 2: It's confusing? 767 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 3: So you're talking about like fragmented advice, all right? Is 768 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 3: that we're talking about the risk of that. And many 769 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 3: people work with separate professionals. As you just mentioned, they're 770 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 3: not communicating together. For you, critical details get missed, leading 771 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 3: into tax inefficiencies, probate surprises, even lost opportunities, poor tax decisions, 772 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 3: outdated beneficiary designation. So what is a complete advisor? What 773 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 3: do they do? 774 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 2: They do complete planning. They do everything from tax planning, 775 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 2: from income planning, from an investment planning, from a state 776 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,280 Speaker 2: planning to wills and trust. Even took kids for the 777 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 2: for college. That's right. 778 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 3: They build strategies that work together. That's not in isolation exactly. 779 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 3: And if you don't have a strategy, you're not going 780 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 3: to win. Here's another thing. 781 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 2: If you don't have a plan, or if you're going 782 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 2: to be traveling and you don't have a roadmap, where 783 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 2: are you going to go? 784 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense exactly. And it leads us to 785 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 3: an example that I'm talking about here. We had a 786 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 3: client that had a great investment plan when they first 787 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 3: met with us, but guess what. There was no estate strategy. 788 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 3: Their assets were tied up in probate for over a year. 789 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,439 Speaker 3: And we went through this with the client and we said, 790 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 3: oh my gosh, I wish we would have got to 791 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 3: you sooner to help you avoid all this.
