And that's correct. Wroth conversions many people 31 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: talk about. Many advisors talk about it, but they don't 32 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: complete the story because they don't tell you what the 33 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 3: tax modification is going to be. You go to your 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 3: tax prepare and they go ahead and just do your 35 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: tax return. But again, how much should you convert? So 36 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 3: a lot of things you need to be aware of 37 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: when you do convert. It's not just what everyone should do. 38 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: Some people should do it, some people should not. So 39 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: that's why it's so important to work with the right 40 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: advisor who understands investments and income planning. And tax planning 41 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: because if you do it the wrong way, you're going 42 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: to get this tax bill that you owe thousands of 43 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: thousands of dollars for taxes. And it doesn't have to 44 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: be that way, so you don't want to be surprised. 45 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: And that's what we want to talk about today. Is 46 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 3: a Roth conversion right for you? Should you do it? 47 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 3: And those are things that many people have questions on. 48 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: So visit our website at Maggie Tax dot com, pick 49 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: up the phone, schedule time to meet with us eight 50 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: three three Maggie Tax Maggie tax dot com for more 51 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: information and we can help you. 52 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: And one of the things that we do that other 53 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: advisors do not do is we do it from a 54 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: tax return. So if you're thinking of a rough conversion, 55 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: don't just go to your tax guy and convert the 56 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: money and then pay the big tax. Do it strategically 57 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: and have a plan. Here's the question, is it tax 58 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: season right now? Chris? 59 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: It's always tax season in our eyes because taxes are 60 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 3: our biggest expense and you need to always make sure 61 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: that you are aware of the tax liability. 62 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: And the reason why I asked that question because at 63 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 2: Maggie Tax It's tax season all year round, so it's 64 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: not just up to April fifteenth, or October or September, 65 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: whatever the extensions are. It's all year round. And right 66 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: now I think most of you there are concerned about 67 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: if taxes go up. The question is taxes are going 68 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: to go up, how is it going to affect you, 69 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: whether whether you have an IRA or four oh one K. 70 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: That's why we offer the retirement calculator. We do advanced 71 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: tax planning, So now is the time to call eight 72 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 2: three to three Maggie tax. Right now, I have operators 73 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: standing by eight three to three Magi tax. Let the 74 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: operator know that this is urgent and just tell them 75 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: tax planning at eight three to three Maggie tax. I 76 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: don't care how big your IRA or four oh one 77 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: K is. Folks, you have a deferred account that you 78 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: have not paid taxes on. So strategically, no matter what 79 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: age you are, whether it be fifty to fifty five 80 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: or sixty or even seventy, you're going to pay an 81 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: unknown tax. And that's the problem I think that most 82 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: investors have. Most investors hate taxes, but honestly, we enjoy 83 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: the challenge of minimizing taxes. Over the long term. So 84 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: why is tax planning is an essential element in smart investing? Chris? 85 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: Is that play a big part in many of the 86 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: clients that we see where they just commit to buy 87 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: a stock, bond on mutual fund. Well, that's it. 88 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: You know, you want to make sure you do complete planning. 89 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: And let's talk about some examples here, right, So about 90 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: three years ago at a client came in had three 91 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars of their IRA money. 92 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: So what do we do. 93 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: We looked at their tax return and he was receiving 94 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 3: solid security. He had a pension and then marriage so 95 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: she was getting solid security as well. So they had 96 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: three income streams. They were getting about five thousand dollars 97 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: a month of income, very satisfied covered their need. But 98 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: they had three hundred thousand dollars of IRA money. So 99 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 3: this account is fully infected with taxes. And he said 100 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 3: to me, he said, what do we need to do 101 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: to get this money out in the most tax efficient way? 102 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 3: So he's thought about it, and he said, well, let's 103 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: just rip off the band aid and let's go ahead 104 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: and pay the tax. So I ran a couple of 105 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 3: different mock returns and I showed him, let's go ahead 106 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 3: and just take the three hundred thousand added to a 107 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: solid security his pension, and this is what your tax 108 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: liability is going to be. So he sat back and 109 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: it was kind of sticker shocked and he said, I 110 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: don't want to do that, and I said, you don't 111 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: have to. Let's run some more. So what I did 112 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: was do some strategic planning. And what we did was 113 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: we took out thirty thousand dollars a year for the 114 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: next seven years, as with a plan was what it 115 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: was supposed to be, and we did and Morom still 116 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 3: pays to do it. But over the past three years, 117 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: he has paid tax on thirty thousand dollars of conversion, 118 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: and again he's only in the eight percent effective tax 119 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 3: bracket on that amount of money. So he's taken money 120 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 3: out of a taxable environment and converting it to a 121 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 3: tax free environment. 122 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: So over the. 123 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: Past three years, now he's got eighty five thousand dollars 124 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: of money after taxes that he has an a tax 125 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: free zone, plus the interest, which is more than when 126 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 3: he converted. So now he's up to over one hundred 127 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 3: and five thousand dollars of tax free money. Because his 128 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: account has now paid the tax, it's earned money, and 129 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: now it's on its way to earning more tax free 130 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: money in the future. So we got many more years 131 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 3: to do this until he reaches his required minimum distribution age, 132 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 3: which is aged seventy three for him. So he is 133 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 3: on a great path moving forward. And every year we 134 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 3: look at this and we want a tax return, and 135 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: we talk about should we convert more? But he is 136 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 3: in his sweet spot right now. He doesn't have to 137 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 3: worry about the IRMA tax. He doesn't have to worry 138 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: about the Medicare tax, like that's what IRMA is, increase 139 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: of Part B premium. And he's sitting pretty. He's got 140 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 3: his income coming in every month. He's converting money to 141 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: a tax for zone. His accounts are in a safe spot. 142 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 3: And guess what, he is in control of his return. 143 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: Chris, you just gave everyone a reason out there to 144 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: pick up the phone and call eight three to three 145 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: Maggie Tax. Because there are situations that Chris is talking 146 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: about where a long term tax strategy may save you money. 147 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: The only thing is you don't know and you don't 148 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: see it, even though it requires paying more taxes in 149 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: the short term. That's where tax planning comes in and 150 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: what Chris and I do, that's what we do advanced 151 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: tax planning all year round at Maggie Tax and Folks, 152 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: I'll challenge you if you want to come in and 153 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: bring in your information and we'll show you and believe me, 154 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: if we can help you. We're going to tell you 155 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: that we're going to help you. Understand. But guess what, 156 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: like Chris said, if we can make your situation better, 157 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 2: you got to make the final decision, not me or Chris. 158 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: But life has many changes and you have to be 159 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: ready and understand the language why so you can avoid 160 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: unnecessary taxes because what's happening now when the tax cuts expire, 161 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: it's going to go up at least thirty percent. Maybe 162 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: some of you don't see that, but when you get 163 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: your taxes in two years, you're going to see it 164 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: and you go to one to what I could have done. 165 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: So consider the long term tax benefits of Wroth for 166 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: on one case and Roth Iras and Chris. There is 167 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: a difference, right, absolutely there is. 168 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: And that's one thing that we talk about is all 169 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 3: the time is tax free zones, and there is You're right, 170 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 3: the traditional form one K and also the Wroth form 171 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: O K if your employer offers these things. But let 172 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: me go back to the example that well not example, 173 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: but exactly the client that we were working with here 174 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 3: that did this three years ago. When I talk about 175 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: the bucket planning, he said to me, well, what do 176 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: I do with the money? How can I position it 177 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: now where I can have a plan, where I can 178 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: have safety and some risk and take some chances with 179 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: some money. And we put together a bucket strategy using 180 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: red money money and yellow money, and he was blown away. 181 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: He said, my gosh, this is exactly what I was 182 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 3: looking for. And he said to me, he said, in 183 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: two years, so now I might want about maybe another 184 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: five hundred dollars a month of income. So I ran 185 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: another mock tax return and I showed him if we 186 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 3: take five hundred dollars from his IRA money, this is 187 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: a tax for infocations. But if now we use his 188 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: tax free account, he can have more money next six 189 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 3: thousand dollars a year of income and pay no tax. 190 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: And he was blown away. They both wore and they said, 191 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 3: this is exactly what we're looking for. This is a plan, 192 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: this is a tax plan, it's an income plan, it's 193 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: an investment plan. And to make things even better, we 194 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: talked about their accounts again and we said, hey, do 195 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: you want this to go through probate or do you 196 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: want to make sure it goes to your two kids? 197 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 3: And they said, you know the answer to that one. 198 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 3: We want to make sure the money stays in the family. 199 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: So we put that together where he has an estate plan, 200 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: he's got proper beneficiary designation, he's got an estate plan, 201 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: his house, his assets, everything's going to avoid probate and 202 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: go to where they wanted to go. So that can 203 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 3: happened to you too. Just pick up the phone and 204 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 3: schedule time to meet with us. Eight three to three 205 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 3: Maggie tax and. 206 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 2: One other point traditional four and one k's They became 207 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: available in nineteen seventy eight as a way to save 208 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 2: for retirement. But the four and one K was the 209 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: biggest disappointment created. And think about this. You get a 210 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: tax deduction on the front end, and you get that 211 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: for many years, and that's great, But when you start 212 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 2: to withdraw the money, you're going to be paying it 213 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: all back for many years and you're going to be 214 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: paying three to five times more than the tax deduction 215 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 2: that you received. This is why tax planning is so important. 216 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 2: This is why the retirement calculate that I have on 217 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: the website is going to help you understand this. These 218 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: plans are offered by employers. The amount in employee contributes 219 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: to their account is considered pre tax and it is 220 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: deducted from their taxable income. That's fine, that's what a 221 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: lot of people did. The retirement account is tax deferred 222 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 2: until the money is withdrawn during your retirement. Employers often 223 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: contribute a portion of the employer's contributions called a match, 224 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: which is in an added benefit. But it's all taxable, Chris, 225 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: every bit of it. And then when you start talking 226 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: about with drolls, which we'll talk about in the next segment, 227 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: they're taxed as well. But now at what age are 228 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: you taking it out seventy three, seventy four, seventy five, 229 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: How much and how much is it's going to affect 230 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: your income? This is why tax planning is so important. 231 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 2: Right now, pick up the phone eight three three, Maggie, 232 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 2: tax sit down with us and go over this.

It's going to the Trump tax 301 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 2: cuts are going to expire, and the math is very 302 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: clear and very simple.

Like Chris said, what you 308 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 2: don't know and that happens a lot. 309 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: Chris, right, absolutely, And that's why it's so important to 310 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: sit down and have a conversation. Why because you don't 311 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: know what you don't know? And if we can educate 312 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: you and we can show you that this is what 313 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 3: you're doing now and this is what you can do, 314 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 3: would you want to know?

We're gonna have a conversation. You know, 319 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 3: we're gonna learn more about you. We're gonna look at 320 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 3: your situation, your taxes, your accounts, figure out what your 321 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 3: strategy is. Do you have an income plan? Do you 322 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: have a tax plan? Do you have an investment plan? 323 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 3: Do you have an estate plan? Do you have a 324 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 3: Social Security maximization plan? What about a Medicare plan? These 325 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 3: are questions that many retirees are answering in each and 326 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: every day, and they just don't get the answer because 327 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 3: they don't know where to go. Oh well, it's very 328 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 3: simple eight three to three, Maggie tax. 329 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: So think about it. Without these techniques that we're offering, 330 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: you are at the mercy of circumstances beyond your control. 331 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: What do I mean by that called legislative risk. Legislative 332 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: risk means the Congress can change the rules anytime it's 333 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 2: written in pencil, and every year we see this.

And 437 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: it's really simple. Everyone that works you make income, right, 438 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: who's the first one that you have to pay? Uncle Sam? Oh? 439 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 2: So let's just say you make twenty thousand last year 440 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 2: and you make fifty thousand this year, You've increased by 441 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: thirty thousand. Is that thirty thousand free, Chris? Nope, you 442 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: have to pay Uncle Sam. Oh, you have to pay 443 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 2: Uncle Sam. See I'm making light of this because this 444 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 2: is where people getting confused. When I talked about the 445 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 2: five ways that taxes are going to go up, so 446 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: many of you assume that your taxes will be lower 447 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 2: in the future. Not true, it's not true. But as 448 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: today's retireies are discovering, that's often not the case. And 449 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: we see this every day. In a perfect example is 450 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: when you make more money, your tax bracket's gonna go up, 451 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 2: you have to pay more. So if taxes keep going 452 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 2: up and the tax brackets keep rising, you get less. 453 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 2: So we can help you understand the five ways your 454 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: taxes could go up in retirement. And again I have 455 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 2: a brochure. If you want to call my office, just 456 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: give me your email. I'll be glad to send it 457 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 2: to you in an email and you can see for yourself. Well, 458 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 2: come to one of our seminars and I'll give you 459 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: that at the seminar, and how we can help you 460 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 2: mitigate that tax risk. Think about that. Does your advisor 461 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 2: talk about mitigating tax risk? No, they talk about, you know, 462 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 2: putting more money in another account. So from the congressional 463 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 2: spending to tax bracket changes, you're going to learn how 464 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: to position taxes in your retirement. And every news item 465 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: out of Washington seems to include details of a new 466 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: or expanded tax. Let me ask you a question. So, 467 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: the total government revenue in twenty twenty two was four 468 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 2: point nine trillion. That's what the government takes in in 469 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 2: revenue that was in twenty twenty two. Total government spending 470 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 2: in fiscal year twenty two was six point three trillion. 471 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 2: Do the math. It's like, you know, you have a 472 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 2: credit card, you got to pay it back, Okay, but 473 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: we're not even paying back half of it. Chris, Well, 474 00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 2: that's just said. I mean things you can't control. 475 00:21:59,560 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: Right. 476 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 3: We know that the government is spending more. That's not 477 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 3: a topic we want to go into right now. 478 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 2: Is what it is. They're spending more than they take in. 479 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: But what does that mean to you? What does that 480 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: mean to me? Right? What does it mean to our generation? 481 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 3: It means that we are going to pay more in 482 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 3: tax because they know how much money you have in iras, 483 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 3: They know how much money you have in formal case, 484 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 3: they know how much money you have in a TSP 485 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 3: if you're a federal employee. They know these are all 486 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 3: qualified accounts that are infected with tax so very simple. 487 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: You're exposed to tax risk. You're exposed to legislative risk, 488 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 3: where they can change the rules. What I mean by 489 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 3: that is they can change the rules on how much 490 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 3: they tax you they tax me. Right, these are things 491 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: that we need to start controlling today. And you can 492 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 3: if you put together a tax plan. That's why I 493 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 3: ask you, what's your plan? What's your tax plan? If 494 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 3: you don't have one, now is the time to start 495 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 3: really putting one together. And we can help. So pick 496 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 3: up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. Because 497 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 3: when we put together a tax plan, we can put 498 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: together an income plan. And what's better having taxable income 499 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 3: or tax free income, and when you can show a 500 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: tax return like we do to our clients in retirement 501 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 3: that I don't care if they increase taxes because our clients' 502 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,239 Speaker 3: plans have tax free money. So when they retire and 503 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 3: they take income and government says, well we need to 504 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 3: pay our deficet and we need to increase taxes, our 505 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 3: clients aren't affected by that because they have a tax plan. 506 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 2: That's what we can do for you. 507 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 3: So pick up the phone, schedule a time to meet 508 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 3: with us eight three to three Maggi tax. That's eight 509 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: three to three Maggie tax. 510 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 2: And this is a race that we all must learn 511 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 2: to win where we're ahead of it, not behind it, 512 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: because that's when people get in trouble. In at every 513 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: seminar that we do, this is the question that we 514 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: ask the audience, and I'm asking all of you how 515 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: many people think taxes are going up in the future, 516 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 2: And I know everybody raises their hand. Nearly everyone raised 517 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 2: their hands because it's going to go up. So the 518 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 2: point Chris and I are making today is tax planning 519 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: is essential. You've got to start thinking about it. Whether 520 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: you have low income or high income, it doesn't make 521 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: a difference. Yet, while you understand we've entered it into 522 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 2: a rousing tax environment, surprisingly few of you have used 523 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 2: that knowledge to change how you save for retirement. And 524 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: if your advisors not talking to you about this, which 525 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: is why we say, go to my retirement calculator on 526 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: Maggie tax dot com and see for yourself what your 527 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: tax is going to be. Chris, that's very important. Well, 528 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 2: let's just talk about that. 529 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 3: You know, when we meet with clients, what are we seeing, 530 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 3: We're seeing tons of Irrah accounts, tons of form and 531 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: K accounts, tons of these accounts that are deferred. We 532 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 3: see this, and they've been with their advisors for years. 533 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 3: They're not doing the right job. I'll tell you what, Yeah, 534 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 3: anyone can manage your money. You can manage yourself. With 535 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: this market where it's at and the amount of money 536 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 3: they're pumping in and the environment they're playing with the 537 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 3: interest rates, everyone's making money. That's easy, that's the easy 538 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 3: part of it. But what about the end of the game. 539 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 3: You know, when you think about a football game and 540 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 3: you're up at halftime, you're all happy because you're up 541 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 3: by forty points, but guess what, You've got to finish 542 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 3: the game. And that's where Uncle Sam comes in, and 543 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 3: that's where he blows it right by you and you 544 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 3: lose forty three to forty because you did not have 545 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: a tax plan. So pick up the phone, schedule time 546 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 3: to meet with us. Let's put together an investment plan, 547 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 3: Let's put together an income plan. Let's put together that 548 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 3: tax plan that you need to generate guaranteed safety and 549 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 3: also income in the future. What's wrong with going to 550 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 3: the mailbox every month when you're retired pick it up 551 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 3: a check and that's tax free money and spending the 552 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 3: heck out of it and doing it all over again 553 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 3: for the rest of your life. 554 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 2: How cool would that be? 555 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 3: Because when you hear the news and hear all the 556 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 3: drama and they talk about, oh my gosh, taxes are 557 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 3: going to go up, tax are the highest it's ever been, 558 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 3: you can say and put a smile on your face 559 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 3: and say that doesn't affect. 560 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 2: They're not higher, they're lower. This is the lowest point now, Chris. 561 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 3: But how cool could it be in the future when 562 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 3: that happens that you don't have to be affected by it. 563 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 3: That's why we can put together a tax plan eight 564 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 3: three three magi tax. Get the tax plan. We have 565 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 3: office on both sides of the Bay eight three to 566 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 3: three magi tax. 567 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: So if you all continue to defer taxes, which many 568 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: of you do in an IRA four to one K 569 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 2: four or three B on all or most of your 570 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 2: retirement assets, you're going to have a large tax bill 571 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 2: to pay. So why would you do that? If you 572 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: can do strategic planning or like Chris and I talk 573 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 2: about bucket planning, where you have income that may be 574 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 2: tax free, you have growth and you have later money, 575 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 2: but you take that money and you have tax free money. 576 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: We can do that. That's what we do. That's called 577 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 2: the Maggie Plan. It's a tax plan, it's an income plan, 578 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 2: it's an investment plan, and it's a legacy plan. And 579 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 2: please one other thing. Many of you don't have a 580 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 2: will or a trust and you sit back and say 581 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 2: I don't need it, because well you do, so visit 582 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: one of our seminars. Go to my website Maggie tax 583 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 2: dot com. We have two seminars a month. Take a 584 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 2: look at the dates and times and locations and come. 585 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 2: There's no obligation, no lunch, no dinner, no nothing, just 586 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 2: explaining to you what this is about. I think that's 587 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: more important getting you education and understanding the language than 588 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 2: feeding people. And you know what, I've done that for 589 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 2: years and it's okay, but it's not what I want. 590 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 2: If you want information, then you come to my seminar. 591 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 2: I will give you the information because that's what you need. 592 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: So how can we help overcome this disconnect of taxes 593 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,719 Speaker 2: and legislative risk? And at Maggie tex we help our 594 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: clients face new risks. People work with Maggie Tax because 595 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 2: we help. And here's the word mitigate risk. Chris, Does 596 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: any advis are talking about mitigate risk? 597 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 3: No, they don't talk about that. That that's why it's 598 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 3: so disappointing. Think about it. You don't have clients like 599 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 3: we see this. We meet with clients and they come 600 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 3: in with statements. Yeah it's five hundred thousand, Yeah it's 601 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 3: one point two million, Yeah it's three hundred thousand, Yeah 602 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 3: it's four million. It doesn't matter. At the end of 603 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 3: the day, there's no planning. There's no planning. It's just 604 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 3: investment accounts. You've got piles of money. We see in this. 605 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 3: This is what advisors are doing. They're just dealing with investments. Yeah, 606 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,959 Speaker 3: you have money. I don't care. The fact of men 607 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 3: is what's the end of the game look like for you? 608 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 3: The tax side of this, because yeah, you can have 609 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 3: four million bucks, but guess what when we run the 610 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 3: tax time calculator and that four million dollars is not 611 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 3: worth four million, It's worth two million, or it's worth 612 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 3: two point five million. Guess what, Uncle Sam is your partner. 613 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 3: How do you remove Uncle Sam from your partner forever 614 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 3: and ever and ever? So we can show you how 615 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 3: to do this. So here's the mission this day that 616 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 3: you just said that people have. I have a lot 617 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 3: of money. I have two million, I have one million, 618 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 3: I have five hundred thousand. 619 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 2: No you don't. 620 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 3: Here's the question that we ask every single person that 621 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 3: comes into meets with us. How much income do you 622 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 3: need per month? Forget about how much you have? How 623 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 3: much do you need per month? Am I right or wrong? 624 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 3: And then where we going to get it from? And 625 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,239 Speaker 3: then when you start looking at the numbers and you 626 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 3: start budgeting and you start figuring out, well I only 627 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 3: need this amount and I'm okay, let the risk grow 628 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 3: and put on a tax free basis. Why would you 629 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 3: not want to do that? So how do we do that? 630 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 3: It's real simple. We use a process. We have a 631 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 3: process at Maggie Tax. We identify the risk. And this 632 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 3: is so important because older people are taking more risk 633 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 3: than they need to and the advisor's not talking about 634 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 3: risk management we do. We want to quantify that risk 635 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: because maybe you're taking too much risk and we can 636 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 3: reduce the risks so you have more tax free money. 637 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 2: And here's the thing, write this down. We're going to 638 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 2: build a plan to mitigate to mitigate that risk. You 639 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: know what a challenge all of you. Go to your advisor, 640 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: go to CPA and ask them this question, how do 641 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 2: you mitigate my tax risk? And then be quiet. I 642 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 2: guarantee you they're going to look at you, Andre gonna 643 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 2: stare at you like, what are you talking about? Mitigate 644 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 2: lower the tax risk. So it started with the market. 645 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 2: Savers wanted to and this is what Chris was talking 646 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 2: about before, and they needed the power of the stock 647 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: market to grow their funds. It was a simple formula, 648 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: there was nothing wrong with it. They put money aside, 649 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 2: invest in the stock market and watch it grow. Oh man, 650 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 2: this is growing great, right Chris, Until it didn't. Until 651 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: it didn't, and it's gonna happen again. So during the 652 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: market downturn, savers learned about what risks, what kind of 653 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 2: risk Chris, there's different types. Are at market risk? Right? 654 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 3: Inflation risk? We see that, What about tax risk? These 655 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 3: are things we're talking about. So do you have a plan? 656 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 3: Many people out there don't. They just have piles of money. 657 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 3: You get those statements. You have a pile of money, 658 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 3: big deal, But how is it going to come out? 659 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 3: What's the end of the game look like for that account? 660 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 3: Pick up the phone, schedule time to meet with us. 661 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 3: Let's get together.
