Financial Advisor Bradley

Are you in search of a financial advisor to assist with your financial planning and retirement planning? If that’s right, you’ve found the most perfect place. We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are experienced financial advisors. First of all, congratulations on being brilliant enough to seek out professional help in this critically important part of your life.

As you already know, we only get one chance in life and one chance to do this right. Life goes by much too fast. If we decide to go it alone and come in short of where we should be, it’s often challenging to make up for lost funds. The longer you delay, the harder it will be to produce better returns and reach your financial goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, just 52% of Americans look to get the assistance of a financial advisor or financial planner. They also discovered that people who do use professional help have stronger financial results than those who do not. It’s wise to find help from a good financial advisor.

Many people start with basic questions like: (1) How much savings do I need to retire? (2) How much money do you need to retire? (3) How much do I need to save for retirement? (4) Do I need alternative investments? (5) SEP IRA vs ROTH IRA, which is better? The list of questions goes on and on. Finances and investing can be very complex and mind blowing sometimes.

We are known for providing simple, proven and very effective financial strategies to help clients reach your financial and retirement goals. After all, we realize if a solution it too complicated to grasp, it will be too difficult to use and watch and thus will not be acted upon in the first place. That’s why we always keep things simple.

Financial Planning Bradley

Our first goal in financial planning and helping you succeed financially is to first get a baseline of where you are today financially. Are you on track to achieve your financial and retirement goals? Many people have no idea what-so-ever. As we understand, before you can get to where you wish to go, you first need to find out where you are right now.

With our plan and with keeping things simple, we have created a series of our own, custom retirement calculators like; a retirement savings calculator, a retirement planning calculator and various retirement planning tools that are super easy to use, yet very effective. Our simple retirement calculators are totally free to use and they are online, so you can go online and use them at any time it is convenient with you and your schedule.

Many of our clients use them frequently running various “what it” concepts to see how minor changes in their financial planning can impact their total results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you use could not be any simpler to use. You simply key in your age, the age you desire to retire, the amount you currently have saved for retirement now, how much you put in on an annual basis, your desired yearly income during your retirement years, the approximate rate of return you are currently getting on your portfolio and the rate of return that you believe you will achieve during your retirement years. It’s that easy. Now you simply click the calculate button.

The results of your inputs pull up immediately. It will show you if you are on track to obtain your retirement goals or not, and if not, it will tell you exactly how far away you are in funds, years and percentages. If you are not on track, the calculator will even show you the 4 critical areas that you can make changes to to make sure you reach your goals. Based on your findings you can go back and key in some different combinations of numbers and keep going back and forth to see if you can reasonably make edits to obtain your investment goals.

It’s really very fun to do. For most people it’s a real shocker. Finding out where you are now and being honest about your current situation is half the battle.

Note: We work with many high net worth clients who love using our strategies to grow their portfolios and protect themselves from soaring tax rates, creditors, soaring fees and keeping their money private and off the Government radar. However, most of our clients consider themselves to be pretty average.

If you are not on track to reach your goals, please don’t be discouraged. Today 61% of Americans fear running out of money during retirement more than they fear death itself! Our goal and our job is to work with you and help you get your finances on track and help you create a lifetime, tax-free retirement income that will last as long as you last.

As financial planners, most often our next step is to help protect you from spending more than you should on taxes and also protect you from what we think will be, future tax rate increases. Did you know that the amount most Americans spend on taxes is the single biggest financial expense of their life time? Many people have no clue, yet it is true for most of us. The average American spends more on taxes than they do on on any other single expenditure.

That’s why it is so important for us to focus on this major expense and reduce your taxes as much as you can. We believe that our flagship financial plan that we happen to call The Barefoot Retirement Plan is the single most effective way to protect yourself and save on taxes that is legally allowed in this amazing country of ours. It really is that powerful. In a nutshell, this is how our plan works.

You contribute post taxed dollars to The Barefoot Retirement Plan. Yes, unlike your IRA and 401(k) (which are called qualified plans) where you contribute pre-taxed dollars, our program requires you to pay the tax on the money before you put them in. On the surface this may not appear as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please stay tuned. We will clearly demonstrate how our plan will significantly out perform these other plans, bar none!

You funds then grow tax differed within your account. If you need your funds for any reason at all like an illness, an unexpected expense, an unexpected opportunity or investment, university savings or anything under the sun, you can simply take your money out at any time. We will show you exactly how you will be able to get your funds at any time you wish with no penalties, no fees and no taxes.

Then, when you retire, ALL of your retirement funds that you pull out to live on are completely and totally free of taxes. This is such a powerful thing. At the time this is being written, Bernie Sanders is running for President. He is proposing a 92% top Federal marginal tax rate. Yikes! Plus last week the US debt just surpassed the 19 Trillion mark. (If you look at our National Debt Clock, it will amaze you.) It only took us 13 months to go from 18 trillion to 19 trillion. With the way things are going now, most experts believe that the future tax rates will have no option but to rise significantly.

By setting up a Barefoot Retirement Plan you can totally protect yourself from needing to pay any taxes on the money you pull out. This one benefit alone can make or break most people’s retirement dreams.

Retirement Planning Bradley

The next step we take in successful retirement planning is to get you protected from losing money in the stock market. Second to taxes, stock market losses are the next big issue that can destroy your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you hoped to. Large numbers of investors lost upwards of 50% of their funds in the Dot Com crash of 2000. Then, just as soon as most of them were just getting back to where they were before the last crash, we had the mortgage/housing market crash of 2007/2008 and many investors lost another 40% to 50% of their portfolios.

Millions of hard working Americans were just getting ready to enter into retirement. When the crash triggered and they lost about half of everything they had spent a lifetime building up, it was devastating. That is why our team at Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros works so hard every day. We want to get our clients 100% protected from market losses and crashes, and yes, it really is possible.

With our powerful plan you are 100% guaranteed not to lose a single penny due to market downturns, losses or crashes. I cannot even begin to tell you how much peace of mind this provides to our clients. Imagine how much better you could sleep at night knowing that you were guaranteed not to lose a penny in market declines. This one feature of the plan can make the difference between you having the retirement of your dreams or being devastated.

When you get our plan set up, when the stock market goes up, we lock in your gains each year. When the market goes down, you lose nothing and your previous gains are locked in and protected from losses. Our plan is smart on steroids.

Wealth Management Bradley

We also assist our clients with wealth management to insure they reach their investment and financial goals. One of the powerful benefits of our unique and patented flagship plan that we offer is that our program gives you the option, if you wish to use it, to leverage your returns and actually earn 2 different returns, on the exact same money, at the same time. Yes, we know the first time people hear this, it sounds too good to be true and may even question if it is legal. We guarantee you this is squeaky clean and as legal as legal gets.

Until recently plans like ours have primarily been used by wealthy families, politicians and huge corporations. Believe me, they certainly know the best ways to protect their funds from taxes and losses. That’s why they use these plans so widely. Now these plans are more available to the average investor and not just the rich.

Here is a high level look at how the leveraging option could work. Many clients choose our blended index option that has a zero percent floor and a seventeen percent cap. So if the value of the indexes’ tracked goes up 20% in a given year, you earn seventeen percent on your funds, and your gains are always locked in. Or, if the value of the indexes goes down twenty percent, you maintain your zero percent floor and suffer no losses at all.

You then have the option to borrow the majority of the money from your account. (You have to do this correctly and we’ll show you how), and you can then invest that money into ANYTHING in the world that you wish. You don’t have to seek permission from anyone to do this. You are not limited to a list of investment options. You can choose to put your money into anything you want or need to, no problem.

Let’s use an example. Say you have $100,000 in your Barefoot Retirement account. That 100k earns between 0% to seventeen percent each year. Then you decide to borrow $80,000 from the account and put it into a great real estate deal you found. Since you borrowed the funds from your account and did not take them out, your account value remains 100k and you continue to earn the zero percent to seventeen percent on the entire $100,000 account value.

Additionally you earn whatever return you get on your $80,000 that you put into your real estate deal. So you are actually earning 2 different returns on the same money at the same time. This is a powerful strategy and can have a very positive impact on your total returns.

We could go on and on about all of the many benefits of this patented plan but we are limited in space here. The best way to get more information on this program is to give us a call. We’re happy to talk with you and answer any of your questions. More importantly we are happy to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation with you to best determine if this may be a good fit for you and if so, we can run some numbers and show you exactly what a Barefoot Retirement Plan could look like for you.

I encourage you to take action now. You know how things pop up and our attention can be lost in a moment. This is far too important to leave to chance. Don’t hesitate. You have nothing to lose. Give us a call right now and at least take the first step towards what could be the best move of your life. We’re looking forward to talking with you.
