Knowledge is Power
Retirement is the most expensive purchase you'll ever make; you can't afford to mess it up. It has been compared to a second career. Just like the career you had during your working years, you have to have the knowledge for it. You need to know how to retire. Retirement has also been compared to a puzzle - there are many different pieces that make it up, such as Social Security, IRA and retirement accounts, RMDs, Medicare, investment strategies. In this show, we talk about the different types of financial advisors and how to choose one.

What Are You So Afraid Of?
Here are Providence Financial, our goal is for you to have a stress-free retirement. After being a retirement advisor for almost 25 years, I've realized that most retirees are afraid of the same things - and many of them aren't even aware they're afraid. Here are some common fears: - fear of dying itself - fear of how you're going to die - fear of what will happen to your stuff once you're gone - fear of having to go into a nursing home or assisted living and not having the money to pay for it - fear of running out of money before you run out of life Knowledge and preparation are power and can bring peace of mind.

Investing by Direct Contract v. Indirect Contract
What does it mean to be invested by contract? It means that you have a direct contract with the investment company; you own that contract and you get the guarantees listed in it. Outside of bankruptcy, you can count on those guarantees. If the contract says the investment will pay you a certain income, you can count on that income. At Providence Financial, we believe in retirement planning, not retirement guessing; so investing by contract is something we specialize in. Here are a few other reasons why I believe investing by direct contract is superior to investing by indirect contract - 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/

Your Retirement Flight Plan
I recently attended an air show in Camarillo, California. Between the F18 zooming by at over 700 mph, the WW2 bombing simulations and plane formation aerobatics - it was an amazing experience. What caught my ear was the announcement made before the show started, stating that every single maneuver had been carefully planned; each plane knew exactly when to take off, each turn and twist and loop was meticulously choreographed, and so was the landing. Nothing happened by accident because safety was the utmost goal, and the only way to achieve safety is to carefully plan every single step. Retirement planning is no different. You don't want to fly by the seat of your pants (to stick with the aeronautics theme). Let's discuss. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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/

Overcoming Fear of Spending in Retirement
As a retirement advisor for over 25 years, I've come across many retirees (especially in the last couple of years) who are deathly afraid to spend down their retirement savings. They would never pay for things that they can actually easily afford - such as flying first class, for instance. If you've worked hard and have successfully navigated the accumulation phase of life, you're now in the distribution phase and it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. You do need to be invested properly, however. If you're still invested for growth and, in order to spend money, you have to sell shares, then next month you'll have fewer shares. If you keep cannibalizing your principal, eventually you'll run out. You're in a race against time. So how do you need to be invested in order to actually enjoy your retirement? Find out. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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/
