Here is what Mark and Jeff Discuss in this session:

• You cannot get advice about how to maximize your lifetime benefit from a Social Security representative. They are prohibited from giving advice about when to elect your benefit options.

• To get the most out of your Social Security benefit, you need to file at the right time. Every dollar your Social Security income increases is less money you’ll have to spend from your retirement savings to supplement your income.

• An Investment Advisor can help you determine when you should file for Social Security to get your Maximum Lifetime Benefit. 

• Deciding when to take your Social Security benefit is one of the most important decisions you make as a retiree. After the first year of taking the benefit, that amount is locked in for the duration of your lifetime. 

• Social Security is a massive, government-funded program and there are many things about this program that you cannot control. You can, however, control when and how you file for benefits

Outliving their money is what retirees fear the most. Build your retirement income from the sound foundation of Green Money, or Know So Money. The foundation of a retirement strategy depends on knowing how much money you need and when you need it.

• Identify how much of your income you need now, and how much you need later. Once you have your current Need Now income needs supplied, it’s crucial to the longevity of your income to plan for Need Later Money. This offers another opportunity to look at Red Money investments for growth.

• Working with a Registered Investment Advisor will help you compose a clear and concise inventory of your assets, and learn how much they are worth, what rules apply to them, and how they are structured for risk.

Over the course of your lifetime, it is likely that you have acquired

a variety of assets. Assets can range from money that you have

in a savings account or a 401(k), to a pension or an IRA. You

have earned money and have made financial decisions based

on the best information you had at the time. When viewed as a

whole, however, you might not have an overall strategy for the

management of your assets. As we have seen, it’s more important

than ever to know which of your assets are at risk. High market

volatility and low treasury rates make for challenging financial

topography. Navigating this financial landscape starts with planful asset management that takes into account your specific needs

and options.

Even if you feel that you have plenty of money in your 401(k)

or IRA, not knowing how much risk those investments are exposed to can cause you major financial suffering.

“The U.S. has developed a new weapon that destroys people but

leaves buildings standing. It’s called the stock market.”

~ Jay Leno

The stock market has long been relied upon to grow money. During retirement, growth is an important part of asset management

and one solution to the dilemma of running out of money. But

with growth comes risk. How much risk depends on the percentage of your investments connected to stock market volatility.

• Just like planning for a vacation or a trip, your retirement

plan needs to consider your goals and objectives, or it won’t

be a good plan for you. The answers to the question, when

should I retire, will be different for everyone, based on your

lifestyle and the people in it who are important to you.

• There is a difference between a retirement product such as a

mutual fund or annuity and a retirement plan. As you move

out of the working stage of your life, you are no longer earning income.

A shift must be made from the accumulation of

your money to the management of your money. Before you

take off on your retirement trip, identify where you are now

by taking the time to understand what you are invested in

and what those investments are doing for you.

• The rules for retirement planning have changed. Investing

the way your parents did will not pay off and the majority of

investment ideas used by financial professionals in the 1990s

aren’t applicable to today’s markets. That kind of investing

will likely get you in trouble and compromise your retirement.

Today, you need a better PLAN. Having a planful

approach to retirement gives consideration to today’s stock

market and economy, and the individual concerns of you,

the investor.

Kathleen's Husband Jim is a retired ATCS.  Her goal is to prevent anyone from going through the same mistakes they made when they retired.

This is why she became a Financial Advisor and is now a Fiduciary. (which means –  She must do what is right for the client and not what benefits her financially)

Few people understand everything that is involved with their benefits, how they work and what they provide and mostly what they can lose in their later years thinking they are being provided the best option.  This is not always the case.

No one likes to discuss money. We were raised that it is no one else’s business and truly that is correct, but understanding or Financial Literacy is key.

"Not many people can control traffic and there are not many advisors that have been in both places -in my case a wife of a ATCS for 31 years and  I am a Financial Adviser because of it. "
