Speaker 2: Very good?
Speaker 3: How about you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing really well. Kyle? How have you been?
Speaker 3: I've been doing good. Sean, how about you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing really good and it's great to talk with you.
Speaker 1: We've got a very important conversation ahead. But before we
Speaker 1: get to this week's conversation, one of the really cool
Speaker 1: features as well about Money in Motion is a chance
Speaker 1: to win great prizes. This week you have a chance
Speaker 1: to win a twenty five dollars gift card to Amazon
Speaker 1: from our friends at Coloss Financial. And before we get
Speaker 1: rolling on this week's program, let's actually take a look
Speaker 1: back at last week's class quiz question week Malia and
Speaker 1: get the question and answer there as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so last week we had a really nice conversation
Speaker 2: revolving around our favorite topic. At least our client's favorite
Speaker 2: topic is when to take your Social Security and the
Speaker 2: ins and outs of that. So our question revolved around
Speaker 2: that subject, which was true or false? Once you received
Speaker 2: once you reach your full retirement age we call FRA,
Speaker 2: you are entitled to one hundred percent of your Social
Speaker 2: Security benefit. So true or false? Travis of Oregon. Congratulations
Speaker 2: to him. He called in and answered correctly true. Wait,
Speaker 2: once you reach the FRA you can receive one hundred
Speaker 2: percent of your Social Security benefit, so congratulations to him.
Speaker 2: Listen carefully for today's question.
Speaker 1: If you missed any part of last week's show, or
Speaker 1: miss any part today show, you can always listen back
Speaker 1: at colossfinancial dot com. That's class financial dot com. Speaking
Speaker 1: of the class quiz question, Leak, it pays to pay
Speaker 1: close attention to the program for a number of reasons.
Speaker 1: Great information, but oftentimes both the question and answer to
Speaker 1: the cost quiz question the league come up during the program. Again,
Speaker 1: we'll tell you all the details on how you can
Speaker 1: win that twenty five dollars gift card to Amazon a
Speaker 1: little bit later on in this half hour. So as
Speaker 1: we think about and of course this week, we're going
Speaker 1: to be talking about some of the mistakes people need
Speaker 1: to avoid with the retirement planning. And Kyle, what are
Speaker 1: some of those that we should be aware of when
Speaker 1: it comes to our own planning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Sean. These are obviously with us being retirement planners,
Speaker 3: we want to help people avoid these mistakes. So hopefully
Speaker 3: when you hear us go through these, if you think
Speaker 3: you're making one of these mistakes or haven't thought about them,
Speaker 3: bells should go off and you should proceed with caution
Speaker 3: and probably reach out to the financial advisor. So the
Speaker 3: first one is staying too aggressive in your portfolio. So
Speaker 3: this is where you know, this is hard to bounce
Speaker 3: back from if you're too aggressive right before retirement. So
Speaker 3: the famous one that I remember is from two thousand
Speaker 3: and eight, we had a client come in and they
Speaker 3: were almost in tears, and they had a really nice portfolio,
Speaker 3: and we asked them, you know, what was the issue,
Speaker 3: and he said, well, before last year, I had double
Speaker 3: this amount. So they stayed too aggressive too late in
Speaker 3: their portfolio. Basically had cut in half because of one
Speaker 3: bad year in the market. And so that is very,
Speaker 3: very hard to recover from because obviously if you lose
Speaker 3: fifty percent, it takes one hundred percent to get back
Speaker 3: up to where you were. Obviously, one hundred percent return
Speaker 3: to get that back. So it's very, very easily avoidable,
Speaker 3: which is why we kind of harp on it a
Speaker 3: little bit that the last thing you want to do
Speaker 3: is you get close to retirement is just have too
Speaker 3: much left in the stock market and have something go
Speaker 3: against you. It can be almost basically hard to come
Speaker 3: back from so and so many people try to time
Speaker 3: the market to get in and get out at the
Speaker 3: right time and trying to make up for lost years
Speaker 3: if they didn't start investing early enough, and this is
Speaker 3: just not a good idea like that, Managing that risk
Speaker 3: is the most important part as we get close to retirement.
Speaker 3: Tier The second mistake and the one that people are
Speaker 3: very very familiar with, is retiring without fully considering health
Speaker 3: insurance costs. So many people, as you know, will say
Speaker 3: that I'm working just for the insurance. If you've got
Speaker 3: friends or family members to say that, and it's because
Speaker 3: it is one of the biggest concerns for a lot
Speaker 3: of people. But there are some options out there. So
Speaker 3: many people would be eligible for Cobra continuation health coverage,
Speaker 3: which allows you to remain on your employer's planes for
Speaker 3: a certain amount of time. Generally, it's about eighteen months,
Speaker 3: but you may be required to pay up to one
Speaker 3: hundred and two percent of the planing cause, so what
Speaker 3: you see taken out on your check each week, or
Speaker 3: each every two weeks, whatever it is, you may have
Speaker 3: to double that because you'll have to cover for what
Speaker 3: the employer is currently paying. And generally, COBRA applies to
Speaker 3: all group health plans maintained by private sector employees with
Speaker 3: twenty or more employees, So again, this is one that
Speaker 3: many people will be eligible for, but it doesn't mean
Speaker 3: that it's cheap or it's going to be your best
Speaker 3: option or anything like that, so you should definitely speak
Speaker 3: with your employer for details. Another option when it comes
Speaker 3: to health insurance is if your spouse is going to
Speaker 3: continue working and if you can continue to be covered
Speaker 3: under their coverage. That obviously solves for this as well,
Speaker 3: because generally, when you're working carrying insurance through an employer,
Speaker 3: it's obviously going to be a lot less expensive than
Speaker 3: if you were to pay for it on your own.
Speaker 3: And then some people will have the Veterans Health Insurance
Speaker 3: or VA benefits, so if you're a veteran, you may
Speaker 3: be eligible to enroll to the or go to the
Speaker 3: VA for healthcare. And finally, the one that gets a
Speaker 3: lot of buzz is the Affordable Care Act. So if
Speaker 3: you're retiring more than one year before you turn sixty five,
Speaker 3: you may be looking at justing a major medical insurance
Speaker 3: to the Affordable Care Act. And so this one, they
Speaker 3: actually have a website healthcare dot gov. You can actually
Speaker 3: go through and look at different options for health insurance
Speaker 3: costs and also plans that are available in your area,
Speaker 3: check networks, that kind of stuff. And this is really
Speaker 3: tied to your income. So if you're have a lower income,
Speaker 3: you may be entitled to some pretty good subsidies from
Speaker 3: the government to keep this health insurance and cost pence
Speaker 3: the name the Affordable Care Act. So, like I said,
Speaker 3: insurance is one of the big ones that people are
Speaker 3: concerned with, and with good reason, but there are some
Speaker 3: options out there for most people. Talk and the third
Speaker 3: mistake is cool.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's just because I was gonna mention talking this
Speaker 1: morning with Kyle Kite and Malia Quavis, our retirement planning
Speaker 1: professionals from Class Financial online Coss Financial dot com. That's
Speaker 1: Closs k l a A S Financial dot com. They're
Speaker 1: tel for number six, So eight four, four, two, five, six,
Speaker 1: three seven, And Kyle, sorry about cutting you off there.
Speaker 1: You're going to tell us about mistake number three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, number three is not being tax wise. So this
Speaker 3: is kind of a big thing that you'll hear us
Speaker 3: talk about a lot on the show, is you know,
Speaker 3: there's no getting away from paying taxes, but we want
Speaker 3: to pay them as smartly and as efficiently as possible.
Speaker 3: So some people, you know, their big goal is I'm
Speaker 3: going to pay off my house before I retire, and
Speaker 3: they've saved up a nice mess egg and they're going
Speaker 3: to pull money out of their flour one K to
Speaker 3: pay off the mortgage to retire. And by doing that,
Speaker 3: if you do that with all pre tax money, that
Speaker 3: could crush you as far as taxability. So if you
Speaker 3: pull out one hundred and fifty thousand dollars from your
Speaker 3: four oh one K to knock out your mortgage, that
Speaker 3: whole one hundred and fifty thousand could be income taxable
Speaker 3: to you. They want to be very, very careful and
Speaker 3: that might not be the best option for you.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'd say, it's a great point
Speaker 1: that you bring up there as always Kyle, and I
Speaker 1: know we've done shows as well, where we kind of
Speaker 1: talk about heading into retirement with you know, with debt
Speaker 1: free and some of the calculations need to be made
Speaker 1: and the imports those conversations, Jevick. You can always listen back
Speaker 1: to previous shows those podcasts at class financial dot com.
Speaker 1: That's coss k l aas Financial dot com. Great website there.
Speaker 1: Not only to listen back to the podcast, you can
Speaker 1: even subscribe to the podcast online learn more about the
Speaker 1: Class Financial team again. That all at classfinancial dot com.
Speaker 1: They're tough for number six oh eight four four two
Speaker 1: five six three seven. No charge for the initial get
Speaker 1: to know your appointment tech Loss Financial. It will be
Speaker 1: complimentary to you again the number six oh eight four
Speaker 1: four two five six three seven. So, Malia, let's talk
Speaker 1: about choices when it comes to taking a pension if
Speaker 1: you have one of those, are there mistakes folks can
Speaker 1: make with that decision?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, we were just sitting with some
Speaker 2: clients this week who are looking both of them husband
Speaker 2: and wife, are looking to retire both in February, and
Speaker 2: one of them is gonna have the option for a pension.
Speaker 2: And this is where things get kind of nerve wracking.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, I'm not really sure how much it'll be,
Speaker 2: which choice should I take. I mean, they're giving me
Speaker 2: those preliminary numbers, and there's a lot of anxiety around this,
Speaker 2: and honestly there should be, because this is usually an
Speaker 2: irrevocable decision. Once you mark the little box, it kind
Speaker 2: of stays like that for the rest of your life.
Speaker 2: So it is a very important thing to look at
Speaker 2: with your financial planner before you just mark the box
Speaker 2: and send it in. And we have unfortunately had situations
Speaker 2: where that did happen and it wasn't the best option
Speaker 2: for the client. So you want to slow down, look
Speaker 2: at the options. Make sure you understand the difference between
Speaker 2: if I were able to take it out as a
Speaker 2: lump sum, a lump sum would mean it's all available
Speaker 2: to you right now. You typically would go ahead versus
Speaker 2: annuitizing it as a pension. You could actually take it out,
Speaker 2: roll it into your own IRA, and then you could
Speaker 2: create your own systemized distributions which are kind of like anneutized,
Speaker 2: but it could be shifted however you wanted to. However,
Speaker 2: if you take the traditional pension, which we talk about
Speaker 2: single joint or other choices, single or joint and there's
Speaker 2: several others that will be determined. You know what works
Speaker 2: in your situation. Do you need more income now? Does
Speaker 2: your spouse have a pension perhaps that's been turned on,
Speaker 2: and looking at those those amounts per month, what that
Speaker 2: will do for you. Perhaps the pension is worth more
Speaker 2: to you for the future if you know you have longevity,
Speaker 2: and that might be the best choice for you along
Speaker 2: the way. So just slow down, make sure you know
Speaker 2: what you're signing up for, because this is not going
Speaker 2: to be your only income source. Likely you're going to
Speaker 2: have Social Security. Likely you'll have a nest egg to
Speaker 2: draw off of as well. So we want our clients
Speaker 2: to have the most flexibility when it comes to retirement income,
Speaker 2: and of course we want them to have some type
Speaker 2: of reassurance that they will have monthly income coming in
Speaker 2: regardless of what the market may or may not do.
Speaker 1: Really big decisions being made when it comes to pensions,
Speaker 1: and of course you want to make the right ones,
Speaker 1: the best ones for you. As we talked this morning
Speaker 1: with Malia Quavis and Kyle Kai, our retirement planning professionals
Speaker 1: from Class Financial website Class financial dot Com. That's Closs
Speaker 1: k L aa S Financial dot com. So, Malia, what
Speaker 1: is mistake number five?
Speaker 2: I know Sean's writing these down, so he doesn't make
Speaker 2: any of these. So an important one here is not
Speaker 2: maxing out a company match if your company offers that
Speaker 2: in your retirement plan. So if your company offers it,
Speaker 2: we would suggest you should be signed up maximizing the
Speaker 2: amount you can contribute to take advantage of the entire
Speaker 2: employer match if available. So the match is typically a
Speaker 2: percentage of your salary. So for example, if you contribute
Speaker 2: six percent of your salary, your employer might match up
Speaker 2: to three percent. And so what we like to look
Speaker 2: at is every single year for our clients, when they
Speaker 2: can do this financially, we like them to try to
Speaker 2: max out those retirement plan contributions. So in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: this is the bogie. If if you're under the age
Speaker 2: of fifty, that numbers twenty three thousand that you are
Speaker 2: permitted to put a way into this tax deferred plan
Speaker 2: through your employer, whether it be a four to one
Speaker 2: K or four h three B. And if you are
Speaker 2: over fifty, there's an additional seventy five hundred dollars ketchup
Speaker 2: that you can do for a total thirty thousand, five
Speaker 2: hundred dollars per year combined. So you know, if you
Speaker 2: and your spouse spouse are both working, that's a lot
Speaker 2: of money you're able to not pay taxes on today,
Speaker 2: allowing for it to grow tax deferred. So we want
Speaker 2: to get get into that situation where you're maxing those
Speaker 2: contributions out. Now, I want to mention something, but I
Speaker 2: want to confuse people. I want to mention something exciting
Speaker 2: that in twenty twenty five. So starting in January next year,
Speaker 2: there's going to be the opportunity for what's called a
Speaker 2: super ketchup, and a super ketchup will be for employees
Speaker 2: who are age sixty to sixty three, and instead of
Speaker 2: that extra additional seventy five hundred for employees who are
Speaker 2: sixty to sixty three, they'll be a ketchup of eleven thousand,
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty dollars, which means that you in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five can actually store away as much as
Speaker 2: thirty four thousand, two fifty. So, as Kyle said, we
Speaker 2: don't want people to be too too risk oriented as
Speaker 2: they approach retirement. Flip side is we want you to
Speaker 2: take advantage of being able to defer as much because
Speaker 2: these are typically your higher earning years, so when the
Speaker 2: IRS permits things like this, we are all about taking
Speaker 2: advantage of. Let's get an in as much as we
Speaker 2: can to grow tech deferred for you.

Speaker 1: your appointment Tech Loss Financial. It will be complementary to
Speaker 1: you again the number six oh eight four four two
Speaker 1: five six three seven. Talking this week with Malia and
Speaker 1: Kyle about mistakes to avoid when it comes to planning
Speaker 1: for retirement and Malia, we haven't touched on social secure.
Speaker 1: I've got to guess that there is a mistake involving
Speaker 1: social security, isn't there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know last week we did a whole
Speaker 2: show I'm looking at social Security, but we definitely bring
Speaker 2: this up as a potential mistake that you need to
Speaker 2: make sure you are looking at your income figures properly.
Speaker 2: As far as future dates when you could start social security,
Speaker 2: there are pros and cons to taking it too early,
Speaker 2: you know. Sometimes. You know, again, we're looking at longevity.
Speaker 2: None of us quite knows where that will lie for us.
Speaker 2: But what we want you to take away today is
Speaker 2: you need to remember that the earliest you can draw
Speaker 2: us age sixty two and I'll be honest, most people
Speaker 2: know that because they're like, hey, I'm going to start.
Speaker 2: But full retirement age is probably age sixty six or
Speaker 2: sixty seven for the majority of our listeners. So the
Speaker 2: question is how soon do you take your benefit? And
Speaker 2: as I said, there's a difference between when you can
Speaker 2: first take it or when it actually will be your
Speaker 2: full retirement age. Again fro according to Social Security, if
Speaker 2: you're born between nineteen forty three and nineteen fifty four,
Speaker 2: according to them, your full retirement age is sixty six.
Speaker 2: If you're born between fifty five and fifty nine, your
Speaker 2: full retirement age is sixty six plus some months. And
Speaker 2: then born after nineteen sixty we're looking at age sixty seven.
Speaker 2: So that is the full retirement age at which you
Speaker 2: can collect one hundred percent of your benefit. Now we've
Speaker 2: talked later, we've talked before. Obviously, if you wait from
Speaker 2: full retirement age to age seventy you can accumulate an
Speaker 2: extra eight percent per year. So that's very enticing for people.
Speaker 2: But again, if we make that decision, I just want
Speaker 2: to start Social Security been paying into it for years.
Speaker 2: You know what's that going to look like? Well, you
Speaker 2: can go to SSA doc Gov and get a calculation
Speaker 2: for that. But just know that age sixty two you're
Speaker 2: only going to receive about seventy four percent seventy four
Speaker 2: point two percent of your monthly benefit, so about a
Speaker 2: thirty percent reduction, and that's a permanent reduction. And age
Speaker 2: sixty five you're going to receive about ninety two point
Speaker 2: two percent of your full benefits. So you really want
Speaker 2: to carefully look at this. When does it when? When
Speaker 2: are you maximizing this? Even though we know your benefit's
Speaker 2: going to grow the longer you wait. Though, the fact
Speaker 2: is Social Security data shows us that the average age
Speaker 2: most people begin benefits is around sixty five, and that's
Speaker 2: gradually increased from age sixty two over recent years. So
Speaker 2: what's important is that you figure out what works in
Speaker 2: your scenario, not your neighbors or your brothers or anything
Speaker 2: like that, what is going to make the best sense
Speaker 2: for your family's income as you enter retirement. So sit
Speaker 2: down with someone and map this out.
Speaker 1: Really important decisions to be made. As we talked this
Speaker 1: morning with Malia Quavis and Kyle Kite, they are our
Speaker 1: retirement planning professionals from Class Financial. Of course, we talked
Speaker 1: to as Malia mentioned we did talk so security in

Speaker 1: leak your chance to win a twenty five dollars gift
Speaker 1: card from Amazon from our friends at Class Financial. And
Speaker 1: as we're talking this week about ten mistakes folks need
Speaker 1: to avoid with the retirement planning brings us to number
Speaker 1: seven and Kyle, what are some of these other mistakes
Speaker 1: folks should be avoiding?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sean, one big one here is planning to work indefinitely. So,
Speaker 3: according to the Trans America Center for Retirement Studies, fifty
Speaker 3: three percent of workers expect to work beyond age sixty
Speaker 3: five to make ends meet. So with that being said,
Speaker 3: you can't really count on being able to bring in
Speaker 3: a paycheck if you need it, because as you get older,
Speaker 3: obviously things come up. So while more than half of
Speaker 3: today's workers plan to continue working in retirements, the reality
Speaker 3: is that just one in five aged sixty five and
Speaker 3: over are actually employed. According to the US Department of Labor.
Speaker 3: Now this number has almost doubled. It used to be
Speaker 3: eleven percent forty years ago and we're up to, like
Speaker 3: I said, almost twenty percent now. So it has gotten
Speaker 3: better obviously with you know, medicine and people taking care
Speaker 3: of themselves, longevity, that kind of stuff. This has obviously
Speaker 3: gone up. But this could be out of your control
Speaker 3: and you could be forced to stop working and retire
Speaker 3: early for a number of reasons, one of course being
Speaker 3: health related issues. So either you your own or those
Speaker 3: of a loved one are a major factor. So maybe
Speaker 3: you have to quit to take care of aging parents,
Speaker 3: or you know, you have some unforeseen circumstance that forces
Speaker 3: you to stop. And then there's also employer related issues,
Speaker 3: so downsizing, layoffs, buyout. So this has become quite common
Speaker 3: here recently. Is you know, as people are you know,
Speaker 3: aging workforce, they tend to be higher paid employees, so
Speaker 3: those are kind of the ones that they may be
Speaker 3: able to to you know, buy out and kind of
Speaker 3: force an early retirement so that they can bring some
Speaker 3: younger people, lower paid, skilled into those positions. And then
Speaker 3: also failing to keep your skills up to date is
Speaker 3: another reason older workers can struggle to get hired. So obviously,
Speaker 3: as fast as technology is moving things like that, some
Speaker 3: people kind of get come place and don't keep up
Speaker 3: with with what's changing, and then they're kind of all
Speaker 3: behind the time. So the actionable advice that we have
Speaker 3: for everyone to assume the worst and save early and
Speaker 3: often so only twenty eight percent of baby boomers survey
Speaker 3: by that Trans America study have a backup play and
Speaker 3: to replace retirement income if unable to continue working. So again,
Speaker 3: the worst you can do is just kind of not
Speaker 3: have a plan and just get to these ages and
Speaker 3: something happens, even out of your control, when you're kind
Speaker 3: of stuck. So another one mistake number eight here is
Speaker 3: putting your kids first before your retirement. So we see
Speaker 3: this one a lot, and it's obviously understandable because most
Speaker 3: people want their kids to have the best of everything, right,
Speaker 3: best education, the biggest wedding, all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 3: and if you can afford it, that's great, But footing
Speaker 3: the bill for some of these larger expenses like college
Speaker 3: or big wedding, that kind of stuff at the expense
Speaker 3: of your own retirement savings could come back to hurt you.
Speaker 3: So we see this a lot of times where parents will,
Speaker 3: you know, sign up for the parent plus loans and
Speaker 3: things like that. And unfortunately, with those student loans and
Speaker 3: parent plus loans, it's not like you have an asset
Speaker 3: that you can sell and pay that note off right.
Speaker 3: That cash has to come from somewhere. A lot of
Speaker 3: times it comes out of four to one k's or
Speaker 3: you know, the nest segg that you've been putting away,
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff, and that can really really put
Speaker 3: a damn front things. And remember that you can't borrow
Speaker 3: for your retirement living, so instead you should be exploring
Speaker 3: other avenues other than your four one K plan to
Speaker 3: help fund a child's education. So you should look at scholarships, grants,
Speaker 3: student loans of course, and even less expensive in state
Speaker 3: schools in lieu of liquidating or borrowing from that retirement account.
Speaker 3: So no one plans to run out of money in retirement,
Speaker 3: but it can certainly happen for different reasons. So this
Speaker 3: is why being prudent now may prevent you from having
Speaker 3: to move into your kid's basement later. So I do
Speaker 3: have clients tell me that that I took care of
Speaker 3: my kids long enough in the take care of me now.
Speaker 1: Yes, I have a feeling if you ask asked the kidtles,
Speaker 1: would you rather mom and dad pay for college? Your
Speaker 1: mom and dad end up living in your base and
Speaker 1: they're going to say we'll pass on, We'll figure other
Speaker 1: ways out to pay for college. That is it is
Speaker 1: for sure, not yeah, it's uh, this is all this
Speaker 1: stuff is just absolutely you know, as you guys get
Speaker 1: a chance to work with people day in and day
Speaker 1: out and see this stuff, it's absolutely amazing and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of things folks don't always think about.
Speaker 1: And it's really important. If you missed any part of
Speaker 1: today's program, I you missed any part of those mistakes,
Speaker 1: you can always listen back at Clossfinancial dot com. That's
Speaker 1: cost k l a A s Financial dot com. Artelf
Speaker 1: number six So eight four four, two, five, six three seven.
Speaker 1: I've got two left here, Kyle. What's mistake number nine?
Speaker 3: Yeah, number nine is drawn too much out every year
Speaker 3: from your portfolio. So this is that The question we
Speaker 3: get all the time is how much do I need
Speaker 3: to retire? Right? And unfortunately that number is different for everybody,
Speaker 3: and it comes down to these withdrawal rates and what
Speaker 3: you're going to live on in retirement, what kind of
Speaker 3: lifestyle you're used to, that kind of stuff. So most
Speaker 3: of the time, what you'll read out there is an
Speaker 3: appropriate withdrawal rate out of a retirement account would be
Speaker 3: four to five percent, depending on your age and circumstances,
Speaker 3: and that should replace between seventy to one hundred percent
Speaker 3: of your pre retirement income. So the reason that you'll
Speaker 3: hear that kind of replace eighty percent of your income
Speaker 3: in retirement number out there is because many people don't
Speaker 3: realize that what your salary is, you're not bringing that
Speaker 3: amount home, right, You're paying fight attack is on that,
Speaker 3: you're paying for health insurance, you're putting money into your
Speaker 3: four oh one k, all that kind of stuff. So
Speaker 3: that's always say when you're looking at what you need
Speaker 3: to retire, really focus on your net take home pay,
Speaker 3: right what hits the bank account, because that's what people
Speaker 3: are truly living on. It's not this big salary or
Speaker 3: anything like that. It's what's coming in and going out
Speaker 3: each each month. Obviously, So the five percent bogie that
Speaker 3: we talk about is a good number for most people
Speaker 3: just to get an idea, right. So if you think
Speaker 3: about everybody heard it was an old money magazine I
Speaker 3: think article back in the day that you know you
Speaker 3: need a million dollars to retire. Well, if you do
Speaker 3: the math on that, right, five percent of that's fifty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars plus in social security. You're probably in that
Speaker 3: eighty to ninety thousand and range for most people, which
Speaker 3: is obviously you're not going to be living on the
Speaker 3: street or anything like that. It is fairly comfortable. But again,
Speaker 3: depending on what your goals are and things like that.
Speaker 3: That's why we want to be very, very careful with
Speaker 3: that withdrawal rate because as you know, when you are
Speaker 3: pulling out a higher percentage and you have a bad
Speaker 3: year in the market, that just can really really damage
Speaker 3: the portfolio and it may not ever recover from that.
Speaker 3: So we got to be careful of that. And the
Speaker 3: final mistake, this is the one that Molly and I
Speaker 3: joke about all the time, is that yes we do
Speaker 3: a lot with numbers, but we're also you know, a
Speaker 3: shoulder and an advisor for people and wait outside of money,
Speaker 3: So do not wait till you're retired to develop hobbies
Speaker 3: or to get fit. So begin taking steps today. So
Speaker 3: as you're able to have a healthy transition to the
Speaker 3: next phase of your life mentally and physically. So we
Speaker 3: say we don't want people retiring from something. You know,
Speaker 3: you just want to retire just because you don't like
Speaker 3: your job and you just want to get out of it.
Speaker 3: But you really don't have any hobbies or anything like that.
Speaker 3: You can only read so many books, play so much
Speaker 3: golf that kind of stuff. You've got to find some
Speaker 3: social hobbies to get out and do and things like
Speaker 3: that as well. And we want you to retirement should
Speaker 3: be that time where you are able to you know,
Speaker 3: check that bucket list, trips off, do the stuff you've
Speaker 3: always wanted to do, pick up that new hobby, whatever.
Speaker 1: It is should be should be a fun time for you.
