Providence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony Saccaro

401(k), 403b, 457 and other types of retirement accounts usually have either the traditional IRA option or the Roth IRA option. What's the difference between the two? It has to do with when you pay taxes. In a traditional retirement account, you're going to put money into it today without paying any taxes, and you're going to pay taxes on any amount you will withdraw from it at a later point. With a Roth account, you're going to pay taxes today and all of the growth will be tax-free - you'll never have to pay taxes on it again. The question is, which is better? To pay taxes now or to pay taxes later?

I often find that the Social Security Spousal Benefit is not only a missed but also a misunderstood benefit. It is often confused with the Widow's Benefit, but the Spousal Benefit is actually available to you while you are still living as long as you have been married for more than 10 years. Little known-fact: even if you are now divorced but you were married for over 10 years, you can still take advantage of this benefit. Listen in for more tips.  More information about Social Security in our previous podcast:  https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com/podcasts/how-to-maximize-your-social-security-income/ Show website: https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com Find us at: www.providencefinancialinc.com 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/

Even the most successful leaders and athletes have a coach. As a matter of fact, the more successful you are, the more likely it is you didn't get there without a coach, and you won't move forward without one. It's no different when it comes to retirement. Many DIY warriors may do ok during the first phase of life (the accumulation phase), but not so great when it's time to move on to the distribution phase. Some aren't even aware there are two phases, and that you can't invest the same way at 60 as you did at 35.  Show website: https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com Find us at: www.providencefinancialinc.com 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 it comes setting goals, it's smart to be SMART about them. What do I mean?

Welcome to 2023! Perhaps there's no more fitting topic to start the year with than New Years resolutions. In this show, we discuss the 5 most important resolutions any retiree or preretiree should make as we head into 2023:  1. reasses how much risk you're willing to take  2. reasses the investments in your portfolio ("retirement risk assessment")  3. set personal, specific goals regarding what you would like to do this next year and how much it will cost (hobbies, travel, grandkids)  4. have a plan B (what will you do if we do go into a recession and your portfolio loses money - hint: if you're worried about that, you're most likely invested wrong and need our help)  5. consider getting more educated about finances  Show website: https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com Find us at: www.providencefinancialinc.com 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/
