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

Today 245 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: we're talking about investment planning, but not just in terms 246 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: of charts and returns. We're talking about investing in your future, 247 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: in your family and your freedom, and that's what you 248 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: all should be thinking about. I'll never forget one client, 249 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: a single mom working two jobs, just trying to make 250 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: ends meet, and she didn't think investing was for her. 251 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: But we started small, like I said before, with a 252 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: plan built around her goals. Five years later, she had 253 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: enough saved to buy her first home and start a 254 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 2: college fund. For her daughter and she cried. She cried 255 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: in my office when we told her, well, she told 256 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: me actually not because of the money, but because she 257 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: finally felt secure and she finally felt hope. And that's 258 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 2: what all of you might be feeling right now. But 259 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 2: it can be done. That's what investment planning is really about. 260 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: It's not just about wealth. It's about possibility. And today 261 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: we're going to explore how you can take control of 262 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: your financial future, one smart decision at a time. And Chris, 263 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: I think what the problem is that most people feel 264 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 2: they got to do it all at once and they 265 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: don't realize that. Think about it. We all grew up 266 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: as a baby. Okay, we didn't just jump into college. 267 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: You know, we didn't run. We crawled and then we walked, 268 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: and then we ran and then life goes on. It's 269 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: the same thing with you know, investing for your retirement 270 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 2: for life. Isn't that correct? 271 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 3: Absolutely? And that's why you have to define your purpose 272 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 3: before you start with different products, and investment planning is key. 273 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 3: And my dad said said it, well, it's about possibility, 274 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 3: and investment planning starts with the question or the word 275 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 3: why why are you saving for retirement? Why are you 276 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: saving for a child's education, Why are you saving for 277 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 3: a financial independence? These are things that we need to 278 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 3: understand what your goals are. 279 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 2: Right. 280 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: Knowing your goals help determine your risk tolerance, your time horizon, 281 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: as well as the right mix of assets to choose from. 282 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 3: So at our firm, we do complete planning and as 283 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 3: a registered investment advisory firm, we have a plethora of 284 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: strategies and investments that we can help you. Whether it's safety, 285 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: whether it's for growth, whether it's for inflation, whether it's 286 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: for a lot of dividend producing, whatever it is, we 287 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 3: can help you. We just need to understand what you're 288 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 3: looking for. 289 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 2: You know, it reminds me when I was younger, and 290 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 2: many many people out there I might remember what I'm 291 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: going to talk about, but I used to save for 292 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: a Christmas club because I'd save, you know, five dollars 293 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: a week or ten you could do twenty and probably 294 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: many of you shaking your head. But at the end, 295 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: by October November, I used to get a check from 296 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: the bank for five hundred dollars or one thousand dollars 297 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: to buy Christmas presents. And that's how I learned how 298 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: to shop, but I also learned how to save. But 299 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: here's the thing, you know, what is your risk level 300 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: when you do that? How do you invest money to 301 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: make money not to lose money? Because many people just think, 302 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: you know, it's the best stock, it's the best bond. 303 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 2: That's not the case. It's investment planning and risk tolerance. 304 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 2: Chris and you talk about risk all the time, and 305 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: this is for everybody, young and old. You can take 306 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: some risk when you're young, you can take less risk 307 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: when you're older. 308 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: And that's the thing.

I mean there's different types of 324 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 3: CDs or straight fixed innuities or index and uities, but 325 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 3: a well diversified portfolio can weather market volatility and keep 326 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 3: your long term goals on track. And Dad, we talk 327 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: about this the rule of one hundred. How much money 328 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: should you have them we call green money?

We just talked about how to 415 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 3: grow your wealth through smart investment planning, but now we 416 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: turn to something even more important, protecting that wealth for 417 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 3: people you love. Because true financial success isn't just about 418 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: what you build, It's about what you leave behind. Estate 419 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 3: planning is the bridge between your hard work and your legacy, 420 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 3: and without it, your assets could end up tangled in probate, 421 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: delayed and drained far from your future that you and 422 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 3: envision for your family. And you don't want that. So 423 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 3: today you want to start out and show you and 424 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 3: make sure that your home, your accounts, your business, everything 425 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: you work so hard for passes smoothly, privately and powerfully 426 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 3: to the next generation, because that's what you deserve. It's 427 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 3: not about just having millions of dollars and only the 428 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 3: wealthy can do that. Everybody can do that if you 429 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 3: just do the right planning. So let's talk about trusts 430 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 3: and wills and benefit sery designations and the tools that 431 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 3: turn planning into peace of mind. So this is more 432 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 3: than just paperwork. It's your legacy, and you know, let's 433 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 3: protect it together. And Dad, how many times do we 434 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: see people come in they got no plan, they got 435 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 3: piles of money, they come in all happy, Hey, this 436 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 3: is what I say. You look at my accounts, and 437 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: but again it's pretty much there's nothing under it to 438 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: protect it. 439 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: Well, because no one took the time to educate them. 440 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 2: And think about it. You go to school to learn 441 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: and then you have to take a topic or a 442 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 2: subject and you get a test on it. And I 443 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 2: don't think anyone's ever you know, tested anybody on investment 444 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: planning or what we're talking about, you know, a state planning. 445 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: So let's kind of recap some of the things on 446 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 2: the investment plan that we talked about. Think about it. 447 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 2: You've built the wealth, now let's protect it. But the 448 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: other thing, like Chris is mentioning what do you do 449 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: with it? So a state planning, it's not just about money, 450 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 2: it's about meaning, what are you going to do with it? 451 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: How do you want it to pass your beneficiary? Is 452 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: I have a trust? Okay, anything happens to me, my 453 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 2: wife gets it. Anything apps to my wife and I 454 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 2: my two boys get it, and anything happens to them. 455 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 2: Guess where it passes down to the grandkids. So when 456 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 2: you think about that, is that the kind of plan 457 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: you have or you don't even know yet, so you 458 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 2: know it's basically an emotional hook. What happens to your 459 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 2: assets when you're gone? And Chris, this is where I 460 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: think people get I would say sidetracked. But when they 461 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 2: meet with an advisor, it's all about selling them something. 462 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: Think about it. They come in with their statement, they 463 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 2: give it to you know, a custodian, and they invest it. 464 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: But what happens after that? What do they do with it? 465 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: Do they keep it, do they lose it? And then 466 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 2: when they need money to then the big question when 467 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 2: you ask everybody this is always a funny question, how 468 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 2: much do you need every month coming in the front door. 469 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 2: When you ask that question, people go I don't know, 470 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 2: and that just bewilders me all the time because no 471 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: one that's a perfect point, Chris, No one talks about it. 472 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 3: That's just it. And you know, I was listening to 473 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 3: you and you made a great question and to the 474 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 3: listener here and to me as well, listening what happens 475 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 3: when your assets went to your assets when you're gone? 476 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 3: Think about that. Let that digest for a minute. Do 477 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 3: you know? And if you know totally in confirmation, is 478 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 3: one hundred percent that you know where it's going to go, 479 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 3: then that's a great thing. But I bet you that 480 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 3: most listeners today have a doubt, they have questions in mind. 481 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 3: They don't know really where it's. 482 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: Going to go. 483 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 3: I'm talking about your bank accounts. I'm talking about your 484 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 3: form of case. I'm talking about your IRA, your roth IRA, 485 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 3: your brokenge account. Think about those accounts. What about the 486 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 3: savings accounts that you have? What about your house? So? 487 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: What do you do? 488 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 3: Why is the state planning so essential because you want 489 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 3: to avoid probate? What's probate? Probates the court system that's 490 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 3: who's going to make decisions on your state and doesn't 491 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 3: have to be that way.

When Chris and I are talking about 521 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 2: and what we see every day, it's really sad that 522 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 2: you don't know about something simple enough to get a 523 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: will or a trust you know, or which one is better? 524 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: Even like if you have a home, I'll mention this 525 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: a quick claim deed or a lady bird deed. Why 526 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: am I mentioning that to avoid one thing? Chris, it's 527 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 2: called probate. How many clients do we see every day 528 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: they have you mentioned it before, millions of dollars in 529 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 2: their IRA four oh one K and they don't have 530 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 2: any of these documents. And you know how we find 531 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 2: out when the children come in and they say, you know, guys, 532 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 2: I can't get my money from my parents, it's going 533 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 2: through probate. Yeah, you think that's the reason. Why, So 534 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: do you want that to happen to you? And it's 535 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 2: the cheapest thing you could do? 536 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know when we hear those stories, we 537 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 3: just cringe and then we start looking into where they 538 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 3: came from. And then you come to find out that 539 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 3: mom and dad had their advisor for twenty twenty five 540 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: years and then you say they didn't talk to them 541 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 3: about this. Wow, they manage their money really great. But 542 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 3: guess what now you got probaate cost and time and money. 543 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 3: How do you go about doing that? And that's why 544 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: if you have an advisor now and that's not talking 545 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 3: about total estate planning and income planning and tax planning, 546 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 3: then I really raised the question that you should come 547 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 3: in and meet with us, because let's have a conversation. 548 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 3: If you're looking for a complete plan, we can help 549 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 3: eight three to three maggie tax. That's eight three to 550 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 3: three maggie tax. Well, let me hurt you a little 551 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 3: bit more.

Because what Chris 554 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 2: just mentioned when some people pass and then we look 555 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 2: at the beneficiary. Guess what, It's not what you thought 556 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 2: it was because you did this ten, fifteen, twenty years ago. 557 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: So I challenge all of you give us a call, 558 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: sit down with us.

What 562 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: happens if something happens to you and you need a 563 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: healthcare decision to be made, Who's gonna make it? Okay, 564 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: this is what we see every day, and this is 565 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 2: why we do the show because there's so many things 566 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 2: that you could do to make it better.

Doesn't that bother you? 571 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: I think it should and I know it bothers me 572 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: when I see it all the time, and Chris and 573 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 2: I see it all the time. There's not that I 574 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: can do about it unless you want to do something 575 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 2: about it.

Just get the Maggie planned. 581 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 3: Visit our website at Maggie tax dot com. That's m 582 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 3: A G G I T A X dot com. All 583 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 3: their informations right there. But I'll give a quick example. 584 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 3: I never forget this story. I've been this a business 585 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 3: over twenty years, and I tell you the second year 586 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: I was in this business, I came across a client 587 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: who had twenty thousand dollars to her name, but her 588 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 3: brother passed away who lived in California, and he had 589 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 3: two million dollars. So we met with our client and 590 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 3: we took care of her because it's not about how 591 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 3: much money you have, it's about the whole process. So 592 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 3: she came on in and she told us, you know, 593 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,239 Speaker 3: her brother passed away, and we felt terrible for her. 594 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 3: And we found that this information that he had two 595 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 3: CDs with the same bank. One million dollars was with 596 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 3: one CD and the other million dollars, which is with 597 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: the other. But guess what. The one CD had proper 598 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 3: beneficiary designation where the other one did not. So the 599 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 3: million dollars went to her and avoided probate because it 600 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 3: was the right transfer, very quickly and efficiently. But the 601 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 3: other million it took eighteen months, eighteen months through probate. 602 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 3: He had attorney costs, he had fees, everyone knew about 603 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 3: his public record and everything. And guess what, the call 604 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 3: could have been avoided. So the same bank, we had 605 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 3: this all mess up because they didn't do the proper play. 606 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 3: So pick up the phone, schedule appointment today. Don't let 607 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 3: this happen to you. Eight three three magi tax. That's 608 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 3: eight three three magi tax. 609 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 2: Let me make it simple. Your legacy starts now, and 610 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 2: think about it. You've worked hard, you've saved, you invested 611 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 2: and built a life worth protecting. But without a plan, 612 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: everything that you've built could be left to chance. That's 613 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 2: not a good plan. A state planning isn't just about 614 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 2: avoiding probriate. It's about making sure that your family doesn't 615 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: have to fight through red tape while grieving. That's the 616 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 2: worst time. It's about clarity, compassion, and control. So ask yourself, 617 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: if something happened tomorrow, would your loved ones know what 618 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 2: to do? Would your wife know what to do? Would 619 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 2: your children know what to do? Would your assets go 620 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 2: to where you intended? Would your legacy be protected? And 621 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 2: that's important? Okay, if you're not sure, it's time to 622 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 2: act eight three to three Maggie Tax call us today. 623 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: Let's build a plan that honors your life, protects your family, 624 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: and gives you peace of mind. Because your legacy deserves 625 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: more than hope. It deserves a strategy. And Chris, so 626 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 2: many times when we meet with people, we get through 627 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 2: an appointment, it's always like, what do you have? It's 628 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: not what we have, it's what would you like to do? 629 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: What is your planet? Why are you here to see 630 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: Chris and I today? And I think all of you 631 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: out there have to start asking that question. If you're 632 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: going to meet with the advisor, how can they help you? 633 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: What are they going to help you with? Just an investment? Folks, 634 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 2: that's not good. And that's why we're successful at what 635 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: we do on the Maggie Plan because we talk about taxes, 636 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 2: we talk about investments, we talk about social security, pensions. 637 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: We talk about wills, trust and everything else that goes 638 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: along with it. And you know what, if your advisor 639 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: is not doing that, shame on them. And one thing 640 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 2: Chris mentioned before, So what if you had an advisor 641 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 2: for twenty years, now go back and ask them why 642 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 2: they didn't finish the job. 643 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 3: But that's it, and that's why it's so important, and 644 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 3: your future begins with one phone call. Pick up the phone, 645 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 3: schedule time to meet with us.

Every Sunday at ten 672 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: thirty on ABC TV, tune into the Maggie Tax and 673 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: Financial Show. We talk about a lot of things that 674 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 2: might help you out, So give us a call eight 675 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 2: three to three Maggie Tax, and think about it. You've 676 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: built the life, protected your legacy, and made sure you'll 677 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 2: love the ones won't be burdened by probate. We talked 678 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 2: about that before, but here's the question we really ask, 679 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: who's helping you connect all the dots? Because the state 680 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 2: planning is just one piece of the puzzle, and if 681 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 2: the rest of your financial life isn't aligned, even the 682 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 2: best plan can fall short. And here's the problem. The 683 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: problem too often is that people work with a tax 684 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: preparer in one corner and intment advisor in another, and 685 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 2: maybe in a state attorney somewhere down the line, but 686 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 2: no one's talking to each other. And that's how things 687 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 2: get messed up. That's how things get missed. Beneficiaries don't 688 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 2: match tax strategies, conflict with income plans, and opportunities slip 689 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 2: through the cracks. And that's the probably the biggest mistake 690 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 2: and the most common mistake most people make. So, Chris, 691 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: what's the solution to all this? How simple can it be? 692 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 3: Well, that's so important, and that's why you need a 693 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 3: complete advisor, someone who sees the full picture your taxes, 694 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 3: your investments, your retirement income, and your a state plan 695 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 3: and brings it all together. And a complete advisor doesn't 696 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 3: just react to problems, they anticipate them. They build strategies 697 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 3: that work in harmony, not isolation, and that's what we 698 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 3: do here. We call it the Maggie Plan, and that's 699 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 3: why we want you to visit our website, Maggie tax 700 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 3: dot com, because we can put it all together. If 701 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 3: you ever felt like your financial life is a stack 702 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 3: of disconnected folders, do you ever think about that, Well, 703 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: it's time to change that. And that's why you can 704 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 3: just pick up the phone. It starts with you. Pick 705 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 3: up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. Let's 706 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 3: sit down and build a plan that's not just smart, 707 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 3: it's complete because your future doesn't deserve to have fragments. 708 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 3: It deserves a team that sees the whole view and mind. 709 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 3: And that's why we talk about complete planning. There's transactional 710 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 3: advisors out there, but then there's complete planners. And that's 711 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 3: why we set up our company this way because we 712 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 3: understand the tax side of things, the investment side, the 713 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 3: income planning, the estate planning, you know what about social 714 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 3: security and medicare planning. We can help it all this. 715 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 3: So we have the people in place in house, so 716 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 3: you don't have to go each and everywhere, and that's 717 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 3: why all you got to do is schedule appointment to 718 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 3: meet with us A three three Maggie tacks. 719 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 2: You know, as you're talking about that, thing came to 720 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 2: my mind. I mean, you know how silly I could get. 721 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 2: But what I'm gonna do is make a puzzle. And 722 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 2: it's like a small puzzle, maybe an eight and a 723 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 2: half by eleven. And when clients come in, we're going 724 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 2: to give them the puzzle and see if they could 725 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 2: put it together. Maybe that might work. 726 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 3: It's hard enough with them as it is, because many 727 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 3: people see all honesty, You've made a joke about it. 728 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 3: But you know, people come in and and they're confused 729 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 3: and they want help, right and they've been saying, I've 730 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 3: been wanting this for years, and I've listen to your 731 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 3: show for a long time, and you know, it hit 732 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 3: me a lot of times, and I want to do this. 733 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 3: And I asked them why haven't they done it? And 734 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 3: they said, well, time, you know, I just haven't gotten 735 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 3: to it, or you know, I've been looking in but 736 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 3: I haven't found h This is a lot of different reasons, 737 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 3: but now is a time. The time is now. You 738 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 3: can't start over, but you can start right now. 739 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 2: And that's why we call it the Maggie Plan. It's 740 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 2: simple and easy to understand, and it's even easy if 741 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 2: we put the puzzle together for you. So eight three 742 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: three Maggie tax. This is on you, folks, It's on you. 743 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 2: All you got to do is pick up the phone, call, 744 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 2: spend some time, make an hour an appointment with us. 745 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 2: Let's go over the problems that you have. And like 746 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 2: I said before, what keeps you up at night? Is 747 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 2: it a state planning? Is it you had? Do you 748 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 2: have it in order? Do you have a will or trust? 749 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 2: Is it correct? Do you have a beneficiaryform? Is it correct? 750 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: Is it updated? We talk about the risk of you know, 751 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 2: maybe sometimes I think people get the wrong advice, Chris, 752 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 2: and I understand that, you know, they go to one 753 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 2: advisor and they get another one. But you know, many 754 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 2: people work with separate professionals, maybe a CPA, a financial advisor, 755 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 2: and then a state planning attorney, and if they're not communicating, 756 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 2: which I mentioned before, critical details get missed. And Chris, 757 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 2: we've talked about this where we have a tax client 758 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 2: done the tax return and it was done incorrectly, and 759 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 2: then they go to a CPA and the CPA gives 760 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 2: some different advice. Wow, how I mean? It's confusing? 761 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 3: So you're talking about like fragmented advice, all right? Is 762 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 3: that we're talking about the risk of that. And many 763 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 3: people work with separate professionals. As you just mentioned, they're 764 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 3: not communicating together. For you, critical details get missed, leading 765 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 3: into tax inefficiencies, probate surprises, even lost opportunities, poor tax decisions, 766 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 3: outdated beneficiary designation. So what is a complete advisor? What 767 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 3: do they do? 768 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 2: They do complete planning. They do everything from tax planning, 769 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,240 Speaker 2: from income planning, from an investment planning, from a state 770 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 2: planning to wills and trust. Even took kids for the 771 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 2: for college. 772 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 3: That's right. They build strategies that work together. That's not 773 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 3: in isolation exactly. And if you don't have a strategy, 774 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 3: you're not going to win. Here's another thing. 775 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 2: If you don't have a plan, or if you're going 776 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 2: to be traveling and you don't have a roadmap, where 777 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 2: are you going to go? 778 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense exactly. And it leads us to 779 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 3: an example that I'm talking about here. We had a 780 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 3: client that had a great investment plan when they first 781 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 3: met with us, but guess what, there was no estate strategy. 782 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 3: Their assets were tied up in probate for over a year, 783 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 3: and we went through this with the client and we said, 784 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 3: oh my gosh, I wish we would have got to 785 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 3: you sooner to help you avoid all this. So don't 786 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 3: settle for fragmented advice.

And if you've ever felt 791 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 2: like your financial life is scattered across spreadsheets, statements and 792 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 2: separate advisors, and we have clients come in with statements 793 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 2: they've never opened over there, So think about this.
