Financial Advisor Butler

Are you trying to find a financial advisor to assist with your financial planning and retirement planning? If so, you’ve arrived at the right place. We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are top notch financial advisors. First off, congrats on being wise enough to seek out professional help in this very important area of your life.

As you know, we only get this one chance in life and one chance to get this right. Life goes by far too fast. If we decide to go it alone and fall short of where we need to be, it’s often hard to make up for lost results. The longer you delay, the more challenging it will be to catch up and obtain your portfolio goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, just 52% of Americans ask for the help of a financial advisor or financial planner. Forbes also revealed that people who do seek out professional help have more profitable financial returns than people who do not. It’s really smart to seek help from a knowledgeable financial advisor.

Many people start with basic questions like: (1) How much money do I need to be able to retire? (2) What’s the real difference between an Individual Retirement Account and an 401k? (3) How much do I need to save for retirement? (4) Do I need alternative investments? (5) Do I need life insurance? The list of questions goes on and on. Finance and investing can be very complex and mind boggling 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 have learned if a solution it too complex to grasp, it will be too challenging to use and watch and thus will not be acted upon in the first place. That’s why we like to keep things simple.

Financial Planning Butler

Our first goal in financial planning and helping you reach your financial goals is to first get a benchmark of where you are today financially. Are you on track to reach your financial and retirement goals? Many people have no idea in the world. As we know, before you can get to where you want to go, you first need to learn where you are right now.

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

Lots of our clients use these all the time running various “what it” scenarios to see how little shifts in their financial planning can impact their end results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you begin with could not be any simpler to use. You simply type in your age, the age you want 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 realizing on your retirement and the rate of return that you believe you will achieve during your retirement years. It’s that easy. Then you just click the calculate button.

The results of your inputs pull up immediately. It will show you if you are on track to achieve your retirement goals or not, and if not, it will show you exactly how far away you are in funds, years and percentages. If you’re not on goal, the retirement calculator will even show you the four critical areas that you can change to be sure you reach your goals. Based on the findings you can go back and plug in some different combinations of numbers and keep going back and forth and discover if you can reasonably make changes to reach your goals.

It’s really quite fun to do. For most people it’s a real eye-opener. Finding out where you are right now and being honest about your current finances is half the battle.

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

If you are not on track to achieve 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 objective 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 live.

Butler Financial Planners

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 largest 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 expenditure

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

You put in post taxed dollars to our 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 contribute it. On the surface this may not seem as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please stay tuned. We will clearly demonstrate how our plan will blow away 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 sickness, an unexpected expense, an unexpected opportunity or investment, college or anything under the sun, you can simply take your funds out at any time. We will show you exactly how you will be able to access your money at any time with no penalties, no fees and no taxes.

Then, when you retire, 100% of your retirement funds that you pull out to live on are completely and totally free of taxes. This is such a big thing. At the time this is being written, Bernie Sanders is running for President. He is wanting a 92% top Federal marginal tax rate. Wow! 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 our future tax rates will have no choice 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 plan.

Retirement Planning Butler

The next task we take in our retirement planning is to get you protected from losing money in the market. Next to taxes, stock market losses are the next big issue that can end your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you hoped to. Far too many investors lost upwards of 50% of their accounts in the Dot Com crash of 2000. Then, just as soon as many of them were just getting back to where they were before the last crash, we had the next market crash of 2007/2008 and many investors lost another 40% to 50% of their retirement accounts.

Millions of hard working Americans were just getting ready to retire. When the crash happened and they lost just about half of everything they had spent a lifetime working for, 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 truly is possible.

With our unique plan you are 100% guaranteed not to lose a single dime due to market downturns, losses or crashes. I cannot even begin to express to you how much peace of mind this brings to our clients. Imagine how much easier you could sleep at night knowing that you were 100% guaranteed not to lose a dollar in market declines. This one feature by itself can make the difference between you having the retirement of your dreams or not.

When you get our plan set up, when the stock market goes up, you 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. This plan is smart on steroids.

Wealth Management Butler

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 program that we offer is that it gives you the option, if you wish to use it, to leverage your returns and actually earn two different returns, on the exact same funds, at the same time. Yes, we know the first time you 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 mega corporations. Believe me, they 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 wealthy.

Here is a high level look at how the leveraging option could work. Many of our clients choose the blended index account that has a 0% 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 have 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 planet 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 100k in your Barefoot Retirement account. That $100,000 earns between zero percent to seventeen percent each year. Then you decide to borrow 80k from the account and put it into a profitable real estate deal you found. Since you borrowed the funds from your account and did not take them out, your account value remains $100,000 and you continue to earn the 0% to seventeen percent on the entire $100,000 account value.

Additionally you earn whatever return you get on your 80k that you put into your real estate investment. So you are actually earning 2 different returns on the same funds 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 amazing plan but we are limited in space here. The best way to get more information on this plan 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 could 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 put this off. 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.
