We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are top notch financial advisors. First of all, congratulations on being wise enough to search for professional help in this really important area 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 decide to go it alone and fall short of where we ought to be, it’s often difficult to make up for lost funds. The longer you hold off on this, the harder it will be to fight your way back and reach your retirement goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, just 52% of pre-retirees ask for the help of a financial advisor or financial planner. The survey also found that individuals who do seek professional help have stronger financial returns than individuals who do not. It’s wise to ask for help from a experienced financial advisor.

Most people start with basic questions like: (1) How much do I need to retire? (2) What’s the real difference between an IRA vs 401k? (3) How much do I need to save for retirement? (4) Do I need 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.

Financial Planning Lamont

Our first goal in financial planning and helping you reach your financial goals is to first get a baseline of where you are today financially. Are you on track to obtain your financial and retirement goals? Lots of people have no idea at all. As we know for sure, 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 easy, 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 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.

Many of our clients use these frequently running various “what it” calculations to see how small changes in their financial planning can impact their total 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 contribute on an annual basis, your desired yearly income during your retirement years, the approximate rate of return you are currently realizing on your portfolio and the rate of return that you hope you will achieve during your retirement years. That’s all there is. Next you simply click the calculate button.

The results of your numbers pull up instantly. It will tell 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 track, the calculator will even show you the 4 key areas that you can make changes to to make sure you reach your goals. Based on your 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 adjustments to achieve your financial 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 quite a few high net worth individuals who love using our strategies to grow their portfolios and protect themselves from rising tax rates, creditors, soaring fees and keeping their funds private and off the Government grid. However, quite a few of our clients consider themselves to be financially average.

If you are not on track to reach your financial 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.

Lamont Financial Planners

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 think will be, future tax rate increases. Did you know that the dollars most Americans spend on taxes is the single biggest financial expense of their life? 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 most important for us to focus on this major expenditure and reduce your taxes as much as you can. We believe that our best financial program that we happen to call The Barefoot Retirement Plan is the single most powerful way to protect yourself and save on taxes that’s legally allowed in this amazing country of ours. It truly is that powerful. In a nutshell, this is how our program works.

You contribute post taxed dollars to our plan. Yes, unlike your IRA and 401(k) (which are called qualified plans) where you invest pre-taxed dollars, our program requires you to pay the tax on the funds before you invest it. On the surface this may not appear as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please keep reading. 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 sickness, an unexpected expense, an unexpected opportunity or investment, college 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 take out your money 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 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 blow you away.) It only took us 13 months to go from 18 trillion to 19 trillion. With the way things are going these days, 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 needing to pay any taxes on the funds you pull out. This one benefit alone can make or break most people’s retirement plans.

Retirement Planning Lamont

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

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 working for, it was devastating. That is why our team at Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros works so hard every day. We strive to get our clients 100% protected from stock market losses and crashes, and yes, it really is possible.

With our patented plan you are totally guaranteed not to lose a single dime 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 nicer you could sleep at night knowing that you were totally guaranteed not to lose a dollar 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 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. This plan is smart on steroids.

Wealth Management Lamont

We also assist our clients with wealth management to insure they reach their investment and financial goals. One of the amazing benefits of our unique and patented flagship plan 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 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 primarily been used by wealthy families, politicians and giant corporations. Believe me, they do know the best ways to protect their wealth 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 our blended index account 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 money, and your gains are always locked in. Or, if the value of the indexes goes down 20%, you maintain your zero percent floor and experience 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 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 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 $100,000 and you continue to earn the 0% to 17% on the entire $100,000 account value.

Additionally you earn whatever return you get on your $80,000 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 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 wait. 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.
