Financial Advisor Mounds

Are you seeking a financial advisor to help with your financial planning and retirement planning? If so, you’ve arrived at the right place. We are Oklahoma City Financial Planning Pros and we are experienced financial advisors. First off, congrats on being brilliant enough to seek professional help in this very important area of your life.

As you know, we only get one chance in life and one chance to do this right. Life goes by much too fast. If we decide to go it alone and fall short of where we ought to be, it’s often hard to make up for lost growth. The longer you hold off on this, the more difficult it will be to catch up and achieve your financial goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, just 52% of Americans seek out the assistance of a financial advisor or financial planner. The survey also discovered that investors who do seek professional help have better financial gains than pre-retirees who do not. It’s really smart to find help from a good financial advisor.

Many 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 do I need to save for retirement? (4) What’s the story on alternative investments? (5) What can I do to insure I never lose money? The list of questions goes on and on. Finances and investing can be very complex and mind boggling sometimes.

We specialize in providing simple, proven and very effective financial strategies to help investors reach your financial and retirement goals. After all, we realize if a solution it too difficult to grasp, it will be too complicated to use and monitor and thus will not be acted upon in the first place. That’s why we keep things simple.

Financial Planning Mounds

Our first goal in financial planning and helping you reach your financial goals is to first get a benchmark of where you are today financially. Are you on track to achieve your financial and retirement goals? Many people have no idea at all. As we know, before you can get to where you wish to go, you first need to learn 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 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 them all the time running various “what it” concepts to see how minor changes in their financial planning can impact their net results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you use could not be any simpler to use. You simply type in your age, the age you wish 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 believe you will achieve during your retirement years. It’s that simple. Next 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 show you exactly how far away you are in funds, years and percentages. If you are not on track, the retirement calculator will even show you the 4 main areas that you can change to make sure you obtain your goals. Based on your findings you can go back and key in some different combinations of amounts and keep going back and forth to see if you can reasonably make changes to reach your goals.

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

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

If you are not on track to obtain 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.

Mounds 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 dollars most Americans spend on taxes is the single largest financial cost of their life? 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 for us to focus on this major cost and reduce your taxes as much as you can. We believe that our top 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 amazing country of ours. It truly is that powerful. In a nutshell, this is how our plan works.

You invest after taxed dollars to The Barefoot Retirement 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 contribute it. On the surface this may not seem as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please stay tuned. We will clearly show you how our program will blow away these other plans, bar none!

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 exactly how you will be able to access your funds 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 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 amaze 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 our future tax rates will have no option but to rise sharply.

By setting up a Barefoot Retirement Plan you can 100% 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 plan.

Retirement Planning Mounds

The next task 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 cause that can end your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you planned to. Many investors lost upwards of 50% of their money 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 mortgage/housing market crash of 2007/2008 and many investors lost another 40% to 50% of their retirement accounts.

Millions of hard working Americans were just getting ready to enter into 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 our 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 unique plan you are completely guaranteed not to lose a single penny due to market downturns, losses or crashes. I cannot even begin to tell you how much peace of mind this brings to our clients. Imagine how much better you could sleep at night knowing that you were 100% guaranteed not to lose a dollar in market declines. This one feature of our plan can make the difference between you having the retirement of your dreams or not.

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. This plan is smart on steroids.

Wealth Management Mounds

We also assist our clients with wealth management to insure they reach their investment 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 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 it 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 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 0% floor and a seventeen percent 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 twenty percent, 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 those funds into ANYTHING in the planet 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 funds 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 profitable 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 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 affectively earning two 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 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 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 hesitate. 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.
