According to a recent Forbes survey, only 52% of Americans look to get the help of a financial advisor or financial planner. They also discovered that people who do seek out professional help have more profitable financial performance than investors who do not. It’s really smart to seek help from a smart financial advisor.

Most 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?

Our first step 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 exceed your financial and retirement goals? Lots of people have no idea what-so-ever. As we understand, before you can get to where you wish to go, you first need to determine 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 really 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 frequently running various “what it” concepts to see how small shifts in their financial planning can impact their net 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 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 estimate you will achieve during your retirement years. That’s it. Next you simply click the calculate button.

The results of your numbers pull up right away. It will show you if you are on track to reach your retirement goals or not, and if not, it will show 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 main areas that you can make changes to to help you reach your goals. Based on the findings you can go back and type in some different combinations of numbers and keep going back and forth and discover if you can reasonably make edits to reach your investment goals.

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

Note: We work with quite a few high net worth individuals who love using our strategies to grow their net worth and protect themselves from rising tax rates, creditors, soaring fees and keeping their investments private and off the radar. However, lots of our clients consider themselves to be pretty 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 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.

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 amount most Americans spend on taxes is the single biggest financial cost of their life time? Many people have no idea, 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 so important to focus on this major expenditure and reduce your taxes as much as possible. We believe that our best financial program that we happen to call The Barefoot Retirement Plan is the single most effective 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 it works.

You invest after taxed dollars to our plan. Yes, unlike your 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 invest it. On the surface this may not look as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please trust us. We will clearly show you how our program will beat the pants off of 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 funds out at any time. We will show you how you will be able to access your funds at any time you wish 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 suggesting 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 our future tax rates will have no option but to rise sharply.

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

Retirement Planning Forest Park

The next action we take in successful retirement planning is to get you protected from losing money in the stock market. Second to taxes, market losses are the next big thing that can crush your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you wanted to. Far too many investors lost upwards of 50% of their money 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 everything.

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

With our patented plan you are completely guaranteed not to lose a single penny due to market downturns, losses or crashes. I cannot even begin to express to you how much peace of mind this gives to our clients. Imagine how much better you could sleep at night knowing that you were 100% 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 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 all of your previous gains are locked in and protected from losses. Our plan is smart on steroids.

Wealth Management Forest Park

We also assist our clients with wealth management to insure they reach their investing 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 two different returns, on the same money, at the same time. Yes, we know the first time most people 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 giant corporations. Believe me, they do know the best ways to protect their money 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 of our clients choose the blended index option 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 funds, and your gains are always locked in. Or, if the value of the indexes goes down twenty percent, you maintain your 0% 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 those funds into ANYTHING under the sun that you wish. You don’t have to get permission from anyone to do this. You are not limited to a list of investment options. You get to 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 zero percent to 17% each year. Then you decide to borrow 80k 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 0% 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 affectively 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 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.
