We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are smart financial advisors. First off, congrats on being smart enough to seek professional help in this really important area of your life.

As you are aware, we only get this one chance in life and one chance to do this right. Life goes by much too fast. If we try and go it alone and fall short of where we ought to be, it’s often hard to make up for lost ground. The longer you wait, 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. Forbes also discovered that pre-retirees who do seek professional help have more profitable financial gains than those who do not. It’s smart to find help from a knowledgeable financial advisor.

Lots of people start with basic questions like: (1) How much do I need to retire? (2) What’s the real difference between an Individual Retirement Account and an 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 boggling sometimes.

That’s why we know to keep things simple.

Our first goal in financial planning and helping you reach your financial goals is to first get a starting point of where you are today financially. Are you on track to achieve your financial and retirement goals? Lots of people have no idea at all. As we know, before you can get to where you need to go, you first need to determine where you are at this time.

With our plan and with keeping things easy, 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 super 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 them frequently running various “what it” ideas to see how little changes in their financial planning can impact their end 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 would like 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 getting on your portfolio and the rate of return that you believe you will achieve during your retirement years. It’s that simple. Then you simply click the calculate button.

The results of your inputs pull up instantly. It will clearly show you if you are on track to obtain 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’re not on goal, the retirement calculator will even show you the four critical areas that you can make changes to to help 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 and discover 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 finances is half the battle.

Note: We work with quite a few high net worth investors who love using our strategies to grow their accounts and protect themselves from rising tax rates, creditors, soaring fees and keeping their money private and off the Government radar. However, most 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 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, usually our next step is to help protect you from spending more than you need to 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 largest financial cost of their life time? 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 expense and reduce your taxes as much as you can. We believe that our flagship financial program 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 fantastic 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 invest pre-taxed dollars, our plan requires you to pay the tax on the money before you put them in. On the surface this may not appear as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please trust us. 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 savings or anything under the sun, you can simply take your funds out at any time. We will show you 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, 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 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 shock you.) It only took us 13 months to go from 18 trillion to 19 trillion. With the way things are going at this time, 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 Lawton

The next step we take in successful retirement planning is to get you protected from market losses. Second to taxes, market losses are the next big event that can crush your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you planned to. Large numbers of investors lost upwards of 50% of their accounts 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 money.

Millions of hard working Americans were just getting ready to begin retirement. When the crash triggered 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 strive to get our clients 100% protected from market losses and crashes, and yes, it truly is possible.

With our powerful plan you are totally guaranteed not to lose a single dime 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 easier you could sleep at night knowing that you were guaranteed not to lose a cent in stock market declines. This one feature alone 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 unique plan is smart on steroids.

Wealth Management Lawton

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 plan gives you the option, if you choose 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 it 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 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 17% 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 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 under the sun 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 get to choose to put your money into anything you want or need to, no problem.

Let’s use an example. Say you have 100k in your Barefoot Retirement account. That $100,000 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 0% 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 actually 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 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 may 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.
