Financial Advisor Glencoe

Are you trying to find a financial advisor to help with your financial planning and retirement planning? If so, you’ve found the right place. We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are experienced financial advisors. First off, congratulations on being smart enough to seek 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 do this right. Life goes by far too fast. If we decide to go it alone and fall short of where we should be, it’s often hard to make up for lost ground. The longer you put this off, the harder it will be to catch up and obtain your retirement goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, just 52% of people ask for the help of a financial advisor or financial planner. Forbes also discovered that investors who do seek out professional help have better financial gains than pre-retirees who do not. It’s good to find 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) What about alternative investments? (5) How can I save on taxes? The list of questions goes on and on. Finance and investing can be very complex and mind blowing sometimes.

We are known for 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 complicated to understand, it will be too complicated to put in place and review and thus will not be acted upon in the first place. That’s why we know to keep things simple.

Financial Planning Glencoe

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 reach your financial and retirement goals? Scores 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 at this time.

With our plan and with keeping things simple, we have developed 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 on 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 small shifts in their financial planning can impact their overall results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you begin with could not be any easier 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 annual income during your retirement years, the approximate rate of return you are currently realizing on your investments and the rate of return that you wish you will achieve during your retirement years. That’s it. Then you simply click the calculate button.

The results of your inputs pull up immediately. It will clearly show you if you are on track to achieve 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 goal, the calculator will even show you the four key areas that you can change to make sure you obtain your goals. Based on your findings you can go back and enter in some different combinations of numbers and keep going back and forth and see if you can reasonably make adjustments to obtain your retirement goals.

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

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

If you are not on track to obtain 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 last.

Glencoe Financial Planners

As financial planners, often our next step is to help protect you from spending more than you need to 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 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 their mortgage payments, car payments and college for their kids, etc.

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 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 great country of ours. It really is that powerful. In a nutshell, this is how our program works.

You contribute 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 program requires you to pay the tax on the money before you invest it. On the surface this may not seem as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please keep reading. 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 the funds for any reason at all like emergency, an unexpected expense, an unexpected opportunity or investment, college or anything at all, you can simply take your funds out at any time. We will show you how you will be able to get your funds at any time you wish with zero 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 powerful thing. At the time this is being written, Bernie Sanders is running for President. He is advocating 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 shock 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 sharply.

By setting up a Barefoot Retirement Plan you can completely 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 dreams.

Retirement Planning Glencoe

The next action we take in successful retirement planning is to get you protected from losing money in the stock market. Next to taxes, market losses are the next big issue that can destroy your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you wanted to. Lots of investors lost upwards of 50% of their funds in the Dot Com crash of 2000. Then, just 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 everything.

Millions of hard working Americans were just getting ready to begin retirement. When the crash occurred and they lost just about half of everything they had spent a lifetime building up, 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 powerful plan you are 100% guaranteed not to lose a single dollar due to market downturns, losses or crashes. I cannot even begin to tell 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 totally 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 wiped out.

When you get our plan set up, when the market goes up, you 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 Glencoe

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 program that we offer is that it 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 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 primarily been used by wealthy families, politicians and huge 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 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 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 17% 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 suffer 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 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 $100,000 in your Barefoot Retirement account. That 100k 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 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 investment. So you are affectively 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 amazing 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 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.
