Depew Financial Planning & Retirement Planning – Financial Advisor 405-418-6266

Financial Advisor Depew

Are you trying to find a financial advisor to help with your financial planning and retirement planning? If so, you’ve found the most perfect place. We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are experienced financial advisors. First off, congrats on being smart enough to seek out professional help in this most important part of your life.

As you know, we only get this one chance at life and one chance to make this right. Life goes by way too fast. If we attempt to go it alone and come in short of where we should be, it’s often challenging to make up for lost ground. The longer you hold off on this, the more challenging it will be to catch up and reach your retirement goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, only 52% of investors look to get the assistance of a financial advisor or financial planner. They also found that individuals who do seek professional help have better financial performance than pre-retirees who do not. It’s good to ask for help from a good financial advisor.

Many people start with basic questions like: (1) How much savings do I need to retire? (2) What’s the real difference between a IRA and 401k? (3) How much will I need to retire? (4) What about alternative investments? (5) 401k 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 understand, it will be too difficult to implement and monitor and thus will not be acted upon in the first place. That’s why we know to keep things simple.

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 achieve your financial and retirement goals? Most people have no idea in the world. As we understand, before you can get to where you want to go, you first need to learn where you are right now.

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

Lots of our clients use them all the time running various “what it” concepts to see how minor edits in their financial planning can impact their overall results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you use could not be any easier to use. You simply key in your age, the age you want to retire, the amount you currently have saved for retirement now, how much you invest on an annual basis, your desired yearly income during your retirement years, the approximate rate of return you are currently getting on your investments and the rate of return that you think you will achieve during your retirement years. It’s that simple. You then simply click the calculate button.

The results of your numbers pull up instantly. It will clearly show you if you are on track to reach 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 goal, it will even show you the 4 main areas that you can change to help you reach your goals. Based on your findings you can go back and type in some different combinations of numbers and keep going back and forth to see if you can reasonably make changes to obtain your retirement goals.

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

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

If you are not on track to reach 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 do.

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

That’s why it is so important to focus on this major expenditure and reduce your taxes as much as possible. We believe that our top financial plan that we happen to call The Barefoot Retirement Plan is the single most powerful way to protect yourself and save on taxes that is 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 our plan. Yes, unlike an 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 look as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please keep an open mind. We will clearly show you how our program will blow away these other plans, without a doubt!

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 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 so powerful. At the time this is being written, Bernie Sanders is running for President. He is advocating 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 blow you away.) 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 100% protect yourself from needing to pay any taxes on the funds you pull out. This one benefit alone can make or break most people’s retirement plan.

Retirement Planning Depew

The next step we take in successful retirement planning is to get you protected from market losses. Next to taxes, stock market losses are the next big thing that can destroy your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you planned to. Many investors lost upwards of 50% of their money in the Dot Com crash of 2000. Then, just as most 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 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 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 powerful plan you are completely guaranteed not to lose a single dollar due to market downturns, losses or crashes. I cannot even begin to express to you how much peace of mind this makes possible to our clients. Imagine how much deeper you could sleep at night knowing that you were completely guaranteed not to lose a cent in stock market declines. This one feature by itself can make the difference between you having the retirement of your dreams or being wiped out.

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 unique plan is smart on steroids.

Wealth Management Depew

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 the plan gives you the option, if you choose to use it, to leverage your returns and actually earn 2 different returns, on the 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 promise 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 giant 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 person and not just the rich.

Here is a high level look at how the leveraging option could work. Many clients choose the blended index plan that has a 0% 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 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 funds 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 ask permission from anyone to do this. You are not limited to a list of investment options. You can choose to put your funds 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 17% each year. Then you decide to borrow 80k from the account and put it into a sweet 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 100k 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 two 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 unique 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 may 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.
