Financial Advisor Spencer

Are you searching for 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 experienced financial advisors. First of all, congratulations on being smart enough to seek professional help in this most important area of your life.

As you already know, we only get this one chance in life and one chance to do this right. Life goes by far too fast. If we attempt to go it alone and come in short of where we need to be, it’s often difficult to make up for lost growth. The longer you hold off on this, the more challenging it will be to fight your way back and obtain your financial goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, only 52% of Americans ask for the help of a financial advisor or financial planner. They also discovered that pre-retirees who do seek out professional help have stronger financial performance than those who do not. It’s really smart to seek help from a smart financial advisor.

Many people start with basic questions like: (1) How much do I need to retire? (2) How much money do you need to retire? (3) How much should I save for retirement? (4) What’s the story on alternative investments? (5) ROTH IRA vs 401(k), which is better? The list of questions goes on and on. Finances and investing can be very complex and mind blowing sometimes.

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

Financial Planning Spencer

Our first step in financial planning and helping you succeed financially is to first get a starting point 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 want to go, you first need to learn where you are right now.

In our alignment 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 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.

Many of our clients use them all the time running various “what it” concepts to see how minor tweaks in their financial planning can impact their overall results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you begin with could not be any simpler to use. You simply plug in your age, the age you wish to retire, the amount you currently have saved for retirement now, how much you add to on an annual basis, your desired annual income during your retirement years, the approximate rate of return you are currently earning on your investments and the rate of return that you hope you will achieve during your retirement years. That’s all there is. You then just click the calculate button.

The results of your numbers pull up immediately. It will tell 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’re not on track, the retirement calculator will even show you the 4 key areas that you can make changes to to make sure you obtain your goals. Based on the findings you can go back and key in some different combinations of numbers and keep going back and forth and find out if you can reasonably make edits to reach your retirement 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 standings is half the battle.

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

If you are not on track to reach 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 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 do.

Spencer 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 expenditure 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 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 you can. We believe that our flagship 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 is legally allowed in this fantastic country of ours. It really is that powerful. In a nutshell, this is how our plan works.

You contribute post taxed dollars to our plan. Yes, unlike an 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 money before you put them in. On the surface this may not seem as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please keep an open mind. We will clearly demonstrate how our program will out perform 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 money out at any time. We will show you exactly how you will be able to take out 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 so powerful. At the time this is being written, Bernie Sanders is running for President. He is suggesting 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 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 Spencer

The next step we take in our retirement planning is to get you protected from losing money in the stock market. Next to taxes, stock market losses are the next big event that can end your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you wanted to. Far too many investors lost upwards of 50% of their funds in the Dot Com crash of 2000. Then, just as soon 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 money.

Millions of hard working Americans were just getting ready to retire. When the crash occurred and they lost just about half of everything they had spent a lifetime creating, 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 truly is possible.

With our patented plan you are completely 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 provides to our clients. Imagine how much nicer you could sleep at night knowing that you were completely 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 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 Spencer

We also assist our clients with wealth management to insure they reach their investment and financial goals. One of the strong benefits of our unique and patented flagship program that we offer is that our 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 promise you this is squeaky clean and as legal as legal gets.

Until recently plans like ours have mainly been used by wealthy families, politicians and huge corporations. Believe me, they certainly 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 rich.

Here is a high level look at how the leveraging option could work. Many clients choose our blended index option that has a 0% floor and a seventeen percent cap. So if the value of the indexes’ tracked goes up twenty percent in a given year, you earn seventeen percent on your funds, 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 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 that money 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 100k earns between zero percent to 17% each year. Then you decide to borrow $80,000 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 100k account value.

Additionally you earn whatever return you get on your 80k that you put into your real estate deal. So you are affectively 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 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 might 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 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.
