Financial Advisor Taloga

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

As you are aware, we only get one chance in life and one chance to make 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 funds. The longer you hold off on this, the harder it will be to catch up and obtain your portfolio goals. According to a recent Forbes survey, only 52% of pre-retirees seek out the assistance of a financial advisor or financial planner. Forbes also found that pre-retirees who do seek out professional help have more successful financial results than people who do not. It’s smart to seek help from a knowledgeable financial advisor.

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

We focus on providing simple, proven and very effective financial strategies to help people reach your financial and retirement goals. After all, we have learned if a solution it too complicated to learn, it will be too challenging to put in place and watch and thus will not be acted upon in the first place. That’s why we always keep things simple.

Financial Planning Taloga

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 exceed your financial and retirement goals? Most people have no idea in the world. As we know for sure, before you can get to where you need to go, you first need to find out where you are at this time.

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 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” scenarios to see how little edits in their financial planning can impact their end results. The first simple retirement calculator we suggest you begin with could not be any easier to use. You simply enter 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 retirement and the rate of return that you think you will achieve during your retirement years. It’s that simple. Now you just click the calculate button.

The results of your numbers pull up instantly. It will show you if you are on track to achieve your retirement goals or not, and if not, it will show you exactly how far off you are in funds, years and percentages. If you’re not on goal, it will even show you the four main areas that you can make changes to to insure you reach your goals. Based on those findings you can go back and enter in some different combinations of numbers and keep going back and forth and find out if you can reasonably make edits 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 a lot of high net worth clients who love using our strategies to grow their accounts and protect themselves from rising tax rates, creditors, soaring fees and keeping their accounts private and off the Government radar. However, lots of our clients consider themselves to be pretty average.

If you are not on track to obtain 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 live.

Taloga Financial Planners

As financial planners, usually our next step is to help protect you from spending more than you should 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 expenditure of their life? Most 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 for us to focus on this major expenditure and reduce your taxes as much as you can. We believe that our main financial program that we happen to call The Barefoot Retirement Plan is the single most effective 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 program. Yes, unlike your IRA and 401(k) (which are called qualified plans) where you put in pre-taxed dollars, our program requires you to pay the tax on the funds before you invest it. On the surface this may not seem as good as your IRA or 401(k) but please trust us. We will clearly show you how our plan 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 emergency, an unexpected expense, an unexpected opportunity or investment, university savings or anything at all, you can simply take your funds out at any time. We will show you how you will be able to get your funds at any time 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 powerful 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 now, most experts believe that the future tax rates will have no option but to rise significantly.

By setting up a Barefoot Retirement Plan you can totally protect yourself from needing to pay any taxes on the money you pull out. This one benefit alone can make or break most people’s retirement dreams.

Retirement Planning Taloga

The next action we take in our retirement planning is to get you protected from losing money in the market. Next to taxes, market losses are the next big issue that can destroy your retirement dreams and keep you working for much longer than you needed to. Many investors lost upwards of 50% of their money 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 portfolios.

Millions of hard working Americans were just getting ready to enter into retirement. 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 stock market losses and crashes, and yes, it actually is possible.

With our unique plan you are 100% 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 easier you could sleep at night knowing that you were totally 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 wiped out.

When you get our plan set up, when the market goes up, we 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 plan is smart on steroids.

Wealth Management Taloga

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 the plan gives you the option, if you want 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 you 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 wealth from taxes and losses. That’s why they use these plans so widely. Now these plans are more available to the average person and not just the rich.

Here is a high level look at how the leveraging option could work. Many clients choose the blended index account that has a zero percent 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 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 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 that money into ANYTHING under the sun 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 0% to seventeen percent 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 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 80k 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.
