Providence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony Saccaro

Many listeners think that in order to invest for income they need to invest more aggressively. In fact, the exact opposite is true. Investing for income is more conservative than being invested for growth - and if you're in retirement, that's a win-win: you need income and you need to protect your portofolio from losses since you're not adding to it anymore like you did in your working years.  Here are 3 reasons why investing for income is more conservative:  it is tied to a contract income-based investments tend to fluctuate less  value stocks are more conservative than growth stocks  Listen in.  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  LET’S CONNECT Show website: https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com Find us at: https://www.providencefinancialinc.com Get to know Anthony: https://anthonysaccaro.com Anthony's book: https://morelifethanmoneybook.com Amazon Author Page: https://amazon/author/anthonysaccaro YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AnthonySaccaro/featured Radio: https://www.providencefinancialradio.com Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/providence-financial-and-insurance-services-inc-woodland-hills Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Providence.FinancialInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnthonySaccaro LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonysaccaro/

Retirement accounts are any IRA, 401(k), 403(b) SEP IRA, simple IRA or other employer-sponsored retirement accounts - any type of pre-tax account.   You put money into them pre-tax and postpone the tax; you save the tax dollars now but have to pay them later when you make your withdrawals. That's the first perceived benefit.  The second perceived benefit is that you get tax deferral on that money until you decide to take it out. Because the money is growing inside of a retirement account, you don't pay any tax on the growth at all. Kind of nice, right? Many of you are putting into retirement accounts as much as possible because you want to save as much money in taxes as possible.  But ultimately - you still have to pay taxes on it. You're just postponing paying it. When you start taking withdrawals later, you're going to be in a smaller tax bracket so you're going to pay fewer taxes - or so you think. But as a retirement planner for decades, I can tell you that's just a theory that doesn't work in practice. When people retire, they're often making more money and are in a higher tax bracket than 15-20 years earlier.  Listen in for more.  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  LET’S CONNECT Show website: https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com Find us at: https://www.providencefinancialinc.com Get to know Anthony: https://anthonysaccaro.com Anthony's book: https://morelifethanmoneybook.com Amazon Author Page: https://amazon/author/anthonysaccaro YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AnthonySaccaro/featured Radio: https://www.providencefinancialradio.com Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/providence-financial-and-insurance-services-inc-woodland-hills Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Providence.FinancialInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnthonySaccaro LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonysaccaro/

How do you know when it's time to hire a financial advisor? If you know how to diagnose a financial problem but don't know how to handle it, you might consider hiring an advisor. The engineer-types who think they can handle it all may also benefit from considering a second opinion. Interestingly enough, our firm has more engineer clients than any other type of profession. So are you a DIYer or do you like the peace of mind of working with a professional?

Historically, annuity companies do really well when interest rates are high. At the moment, interest rates are almost at the same level as in 2008. Annuities that are being offered today are much better than those offered 10 or 15 years ago, and for this reason many of our clients have benefited from an annuity upgrade recently. Does an upgrade make sense for your annuity?  We start today's podcast with a primer on annuities (hint: we're referring to fixed indexed annuities here) and we continue with the main reasons why upgrading an annuity might make sense.  Listen in.  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  LET’S CONNECT Show website: https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com Find us at: https://www.providencefinancialinc.com Get to know Anthony: https://anthonysaccaro.com Anthony's book: https://morelifethanmoneybook.com Amazon Author Page: https://amazon/author/anthonysaccaro YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AnthonySaccaro/featured Radio: https://www.providencefinancialradio.com Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/providence-financial-and-insurance-services-inc-woodland-hills Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Providence.FinancialInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnthonySaccaro LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonysaccaro/

When you're headed towards retirement, you have an accumulation plan. Once you retire, you should make the shift towards a distribution plan.  Switching to investing for income can be difficult if all you've been doing for decades is investing for growth.  In this episode, I'm going to use a farming analogy which you might find very helpful in understanding this paradigm shift.

New money is money earned while you're still working and saving in your retirement accounts whenever you get paid.  Old money refers to the investments you already have.  One of the biggest mistakes I see as a retirement planner and financial advisor is not differentiating between how one invests new money compared to old money.  Because they should be invested differently.
