Financial Advisor Marshall

Are you trying to find a financial advisor to assist with your financial planning and retirement planning? If that’s right, you’ve arrived at the best place. We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are top notch financial advisors. First off, congrats on being smart enough to look for professional help in this really important part of your life.

As you already know, we only get one chance in life and one chance to do this right. Life goes by way too fast. If we attempt to go it alone and fall short of where we should be, it’s often difficult to make up for lost funds. The longer you put this off, the more difficult it will be to come back and reach your financial goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, just 52% of individuals ask for the help of a financial advisor or financial planner. The survey also found that those who do ask for professional help have stronger financial gains than pre-retirees who do not. It’s really smart to find help from a smart financial advisor.

Most people start with basic questions like: (1) How much money do I need to be able to retire? (2) How much money do you need to retire? (3) How much will I need to retire? (4) What’s the story on alternative investments? (5) Is a 401k better than an IRA? The list of questions goes on and on. Money and investing can be very complex and mind blowing sometimes.

We are known for providing simple, proven and very effective financial strategies to help you reach your financial and retirement goals. After all, we know if a solution it too complicated to learn, it will be too challenging to implement and review and thus will not be acted upon in the first place. That’s why we know to keep things simple.

Financial Planning Marshall

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 reach your financial and retirement goals? Many people have no idea in the world. 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 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 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.

Lots of our clients use these very often running various “what it” scenarios to see how small tweaks in their financial planning can impact their total results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you start with 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 put in on an annual basis, your desired yearly income during your retirement years, the approximate rate of return you are currently earning on your portfolio and the rate of return that you hope 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 immediately. 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 track, it will even show you the 4 main areas that you can change to be sure you reach your goals. Based on the findings you can go back and plug in some different combinations of amounts and keep going back and forth to see if you can reasonably make changes 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 a lot of high net worth people who love using our plans to grow their funds and protect themselves from rising tax rates, creditors, soaring fees and keeping their accounts private and off the radar. However, many of our clients consider themselves to be mostly average.

If you are not on track to achieve your 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.

Marshall Financial Planners

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 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 time? Lots of people have no idea, yet it is true for most of us. The average American spends more on taxes than they do on on any other expenditure

That’s why it is so important for us to focus on this major expenditure and reduce your taxes as much as possible. We believe that our main financial program that we happen to call The Barefoot Retirement Plan is the single most successful way to protect yourself and save on taxes that is legally allowed in this great country of ours. It truly is that powerful. In a nutshell, this is how our plan works.

You contribute after taxed dollars to the 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 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 plan will significantly out perform these other plans, without a doubt!

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 exactly how you will be able to access your money at any time 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 so powerful. At the time this is being written, Bernie Sanders is running for President. He is proposing 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 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 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 Marshall

The next step we take in successful retirement planning is to get you protected from losing money in the stock market. Second to taxes, stock market losses are the next big issue that can end your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you wanted to. Lots of investors lost upwards of 50% of their money 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 mortgage/housing 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 retire. When the crash occurred and they lost almost 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 strive to get our clients 100% protected from market losses and crashes, and yes, it truly is possible.

With our powerful plan you are completely 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 provides to our clients. Imagine how much nicer you could sleep at night knowing that you were totally guaranteed not to lose a dollar in stock market declines. This one feature of The Barefoot Retirement 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 stock market goes up, you 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 Marshall

We also assist our clients with wealth management to insure they reach their investing and financial goals. One of the amazing benefits of our unique and patented flagship plan that we offer is that the plan gives you the option, if you want to use it, to leverage your returns and actually earn 2 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 guarantee you it is squeaky clean and as legal as legal gets.

Until recently plans like ours have mainly been used by wealthy families, politicians and mega corporations. Believe me, they 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 average investor and not just the rich.

Here is a high level look at how the leveraging option could work. Many clients choose our blended index option that has a zero percent floor and a 17% cap. So if the value of the indexes’ tracked goes up twenty percent 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 have 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 that money 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 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 100k earns between zero percent to seventeen percent 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 $100,000 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 patented 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 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 might 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.
