Financial Advisor Canton

Are you looking for a financial advisor to assist with your financial planning and retirement planning? If so, you’ve found the best place. We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are top notch financial advisors. First of all, congratulations on being brilliant enough to search for professional help in this really important part of your life.

As you are aware, we only get one chance at life and one chance to make this right. Life goes by far too fast. If we attempt to go it alone and fall short of where we need to be, it’s often challenging to make up for lost funds. The longer you put this off, the more challenging it will be to catch up and reach your portfolio goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, just 52% of individuals look to get the help of a financial advisor or financial planner. Forbes also found that pre-retirees who do look for professional help have better financial results than individuals who do not. It’s really smart to seek help from a good financial advisor.

Lots of people start with basic questions like: (1) How much money do I need to retire? (2) What’s the real difference between an IRA vs 401k? (3) How much should I save for retirement? (4) What about alternative investments? (5) How can I save on taxes? The list of questions goes on and on. Money and investing can be very complex and mind blowing sometimes.

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

Financial Planning Canton

Our first goal in financial planning and helping you succeed financially is to first get a starting point of where you are today financially. Are you on track to obtain your financial and retirement goals? Most people have no idea in the world. As we understand, before you can get to where you wish to go, you first need to learn where you are right now.

In our alignment 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 simple and easy to use, yet very effective. Our simple retirement calculators are completely free to use and they are online, so you can log on and use them at any time it is convenient with you and your schedule.

Many of our clients use them all the time running various “what it” calculations to see how little edits in their financial planning can impact their total results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you start with could not be any easier to use. You simply plug in your age, the age you wish to retire, the amount you currently have saved for retirement now, how much you contribute on an annual basis, your desired yearly income during your retirement years, the approximate rate of return you are currently earning on your portfolio and the rate of return that you think you will achieve during your retirement years. It’s that simple. Then you just click the calculate button.

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

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

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

If you are not on track to achieve your investment 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.

Canton Financial Planners

As financial planners, usually 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 expenditure of their life? Many people have no clue, yet it is true for most of us. The average American spends more on taxes than they do on any other expense.

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

You put in after taxed dollars to The Barefoot Retirement Plan. Yes, unlike an IRA and 401(k) (which are called qualified plans) where you put in pre-taxed dollars, our plan requires you to pay the tax on the funds before you put them in. On the surface this may not seem as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please keep an open mind. We will clearly show you how our plan will out perform these other plans, bar none!

You funds then grow tax differed within your account. If you need the funds for any reason at all like emergency, an unexpected expense, an unexpected opportunity or investment, university savings or anything at all, you can simply take your money out at any time. We will show you how you will be able to get your money at any time you wish with zero 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 big 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 choice but to rise significantly.

By setting up a Barefoot Retirement Plan you can completely protect yourself from having 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 Canton

The next step we take in our retirement planning is to get you protected from market losses. Second to taxes, market losses are the next big cause that can ruin your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you planned to. Lots of investors lost upwards of 50% of their funds 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 portfolios.

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

With our one-of-a-kind plan you are completely 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 brings to our clients. Imagine how much easier you could sleep at night knowing that you were guaranteed not to lose a dime in market declines. This one feature of The Barefoot Retirement Plan 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 Canton

We also assist our clients with wealth management to insure they reach their investing and financial goals. One of the amazing benefits of our unique and patented flagship plan that we offer is that the plan gives you the option, if you choose 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 assure you this is squeaky clean and as legal as legal gets.

Until recently plans like ours have mainly been used by wealthy families, politicians and mega corporations. Believe me, they do 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 main stream and not just the wealthy.

Here is a high level look at how the leveraging option could work. Many clients choose the blended index plan that has a zero percent floor and a 17% cap. So if the value of the indexes’ tracked goes up 20% in a given year, you earn seventeen percent on your account, and your gains are always locked in. Or, if the value of the indexes goes down 20%, you maintain your 0% floor and experience 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 those funds into ANYTHING in the world that you wish. You don’t have to ask 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 $100,000 and you continue to earn the zero percent to 17% on the entire 100k account value.

Additionally you earn whatever return you get on your 80k that you put into your real estate investment. So you are affectively earning two 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 powerful 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 speak 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 would 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.
