- 2:43before we get rolling on this week's conversation, speaking of the class Quiz question
- 2:46a week, let's take a look back at last week's question and get the
- 2:49answer there as well. Yeah, so last week, we had a great
- 2:52conversation about social security understanding when you should potentially pull it. Our question was,
- 3:00according to Social Security, if you were born after the year nineteen sixty,
- 3:04what do they consider your full retirement age to be, which we also
- 3:07referred to as FRA around here, is at age sixty five or age sixty
- 3:13seven. So a shout out to our winner last week, Donnie of Manona,
- 3:16correctly answered age sixty seven is considered full retirement age if you were born
- 3:23after the year nineteen sixty. So listen carefully to today's question. Funny thing.
- 3:27Donnie's got a brother in named Danny and he's Danny and Monana. So
- 3:31yeah, you funny guys hi and not as smooth as I hope the congratulations
- 3:38of Donnie. You two can I chance to win a little bit later on
- 3:42in the program this morning. Speaking of last week's show, anytime we get
- 3:46advice and conversation going about social security, there's always a lot of interest and
- 3:52a lot of great information and some great calls and some great questions. You
- 3:54can always listen back to previous shows podcasts up at claus financial dot com.
- 4:00That's Klaas Financial dot com. Speaking of questions. I'd love to get you
- 4:02on the air this morning six two thirteen ten. That's six eight three two
- 4:06one thirteen ten. This week we are going to be talking about retirement readiness,
- 4:11and you know, maybe we're thinking that, you know, mentally,
- 4:14physically, it's time to retire, but suggestions, let's get some of those
- 4:17for making sure everything's in place before we make that decision. That's an important
- 4:21thing to do. Be prepared, isn't it, CJ. It is.
- 4:26Yeah, so many people we speak with have been thinking about retirement for a
- 4:29while, but you know, the question becomes, how do you know that
- 4:32retirement for yourself at a specific age is a possibility. So we thought today
- 4:38that we would just spend some time to go through a retirement readiness checklist.
- 4:44So as we're going through this kind of check things off in your brain as
- 4:46you say, yep, I've taken care of that item or that item,
- 4:49and some of these things are going to be kind of checks and others are
- 4:51going to be considerations because often while you may be able to check a box
- 4:57to say yep, I'm ready, there can be other surprises that come along
- 5:00the way. So we'll talk about that a little bit as well. So
- 5:03the first consideration in our checklist today for retirement readiness is to choose your retirement
- 5:10date. This seems pretty obvious. You have to choose a date to then
- 5:15be able to project whether or not you're going to be prepared for that date.
- 5:17But here's some considerations around choosing that date. Obviously, the longer you
- 5:23work, you are likely to be in a financially better position, since you
- 5:26can delay pulling from your portfolio, and you can be adding more to your
- 5:30retirement accounts and even delay drawing social Security, which will make your social Security
- 5:34benefit bigger. But it's worthwhile to consider your expected retirement date from several additional
- 5:41angles, not just the financial dimension. You want to consider quality of life
- 5:46issues like health and whether you can continue to do your job later in life.
- 5:49Research has suggested that people often do a poor job of estimating when they
- 5:55expect to retire, As it turns out people who thought they would retire on
- 6:00earlier side of things often end up working longer than they estimate it, whereas
- 6:03many who had anticipated delaying retirement weren't able to do so. The reality is
- 6:10that of these there's these unforeseen health issues or unexpected layoffs that often force people
- 6:15out of the workforce earlier than they might consider is ideal. So listen,
- 6:20what we're kind of getting into here is that so I've done some aniogram studying.
- 6:26I don't know if any many of our listeners have done anyagram setting,
- 6:29but there's different personality types, and especially for those who are a perfectionist aniogram
- 6:34type, it can be very hard when plans get derailed. And it's not
- 6:39just perfectionist. Truth be told, we all have some of the anagram numbers
- 6:42in us. When we build plans. The whole idea is to say I
- 6:46got a plan in place, and now that the plans in place, I
- 6:47know where I'm going. And then you get laid off or and then you
- 6:53get sick, and this can sometimes really derail us, both mentally, physically
- 6:59financially, And so we would say any plans you pull together, hold them
- 7:03loosely, because boy oh boy, life has a way of surprising us.
- 7:09So you know, some people continue to work longer than they anticipated because they
- 7:13need to from a financial perspectives, but others work longer because they just love
- 7:18what they're doing, or because as I mentioned, they got laid off and
- 7:24or I'm sorry, they had to because their employer wouldn't give them a retirement
- 7:29benefit until later. So there's a lot of things that can impact how long
- 7:32you will work. You do want to start by setting a date, but
- 7:36you want to hold that loosely and just be flexible as you move forward.
- 7:40Talking this morning with c J, Class and Malia Quaevis, our retirement planning
- 7:43professionals from Claus Financial love to get you on the air this morning. If
- 7:46you've got a question, I got to just pick up phone and gifts call
- 7:48six eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six O eight three two one
- 7:54thirteen ten will get you on the air with Malia and CJ. Our retirement
- 7:57planning professionals from Claus Financially can learn more about financial on their website class Financial
- 8:01dot com that's k l a as Financial dot com and their telephone number six
- 8:07O eight four four two five six three seven at six O eight four four
- 8:11two five six three seven. So some of the reasons why folks may work
- 8:15longer than they had planned, CJ, what are some of those reasons?
- 8:20Oop? Sorry, can you hear me? Yep? Yep, sorry,
- 8:22I had myself on myself get there. I think this is uh yeah,
- 8:28yeah, I think I think blah, this is into your section. Okay,
- 8:31So so you know, back to what CG is discussing about your your
- 8:37goal of win to retire. You know, I kind of think of a
- 8:41goal, as you know, has a specific date so that you're moving toward
- 8:46it, whether you're rather than just like, oh it's floating. I think
- 8:50I'm going to retire. I don't know when I'm gonna tire. We we
- 8:52don't. We can't work towards something we don't have a date associated with it.
- 8:56But understand that date can fluctuate, as he mentioned, with the different
- 8:58types of situations that might occur that you're unaware of and being flexible. So
- 9:03number two on our retirement readiness checklist is really for you to also look at
- 9:09how much you currently spend. So a lot of our listeners, you know,
- 9:11income's coming in, incomes going out, but they don't really pay attention
- 9:16necessarily to their budget. So we really want you to look at your pre
- 9:22retirement spending on a yearly basis, and then we're going to take a look
- 9:26at how much you think you'll spend in retirement. So again reality and what
- 9:31you think perception maybe is a little different. So one common rule of thumb
- 9:35we talk about is maybe the eighty percent rule. So what that says is,
- 9:39in retirement, you'll need to replace about eighty percent of your working income.
- 9:43We fluctuate on this ourselves. It depends on our clients, but some
- 9:48people actually spend seventy percent of their pre retirement income and some spend as much
- 9:54as one hundred percent or more. So again it goes back to a goal.
- 9:58Excuse me, what are your goals in retirement? And so if you
- 10:01think you're going to continue doing the same thing, which is a fairly frugal
- 10:05lifestyle, then maybe you won't need to replace one hundred percent. However,
- 10:09if you're one of those people waiting to get out and see the world and
- 10:13travel, that might cost actually more than you're replacing one hundred percent of what
- 10:18you're doing right now. So we really want you to understand a starting point,
- 10:22what do you spend today, so that we can look at how much
- 10:26you're going to need to be replacing. So what we've seen here is that
- 10:31some new retirees may not necessarily find themselves living unless retirement experience difference for everybody,
- 10:37but a recent Employee Benefit Research Institute survey found that thirty percent of retirees
- 10:45reports spending more than they had originally expected in retirement. So that's important to
- 10:50understand that only nine percent reported they were spending less. So what we would
- 10:54say is, you know, we want to as we exit our current fashions
- 11:00and maybe go out into retirement, we want to be able to do whatever
- 11:03we want to be able to do. You know, we don't want to
- 11:05feel like we can't spend a dollar. But one thing CJ and I have
- 11:11observed over many, many years is that our clients who are frugal, they
- 11:16tend to remain frugal in retirement. They really do. And if you're a
- 11:18spender, I'm sorry to tell you you're probably still going to be a spender
- 11:22in retirement. So we kind of have to adjust what your income is going
- 11:26to look like per your own situation. And that's why we would suggest you
- 11:31sit down with your financial advisor and figure what's proper for you. Really important
- 11:35stuff to be thinking about as you're preparing for and planning for retirement. Don't
- 11:39forget speaking of if you are in that position, you've got some questions.

- 13:26That's six O eight three two one thirteen ten. With the rain we've had,
- 13:30I had a chance to mold along the other day and I was listening
- 13:33to a podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade from Saturday Night Live. And
- 13:37I've listened to it before, and what's interesting is they talk with folks that
- 13:41were on Saturday Night Live and their time there and a lot of them,
- 13:43you know, five ten years, and one of the things you always hear
- 13:46about them is when they're ready to move on. They're always ready to move
- 13:50on. And then they talk about how like a week or month later,
- 13:52they're like, did I do the right thing? Was I prepared? Was
- 13:56I planned? Ready? And I thought, you know, that's kind of
- 13:58like stuff we talk about with c Jan Malia each week, is making those
- 14:01plans and of course executing them obviously on a much smaller scale. And you
- 14:07talk about career on on that show, just a couple of years for a
- 14:09lot of those folks, but really interesting stuff. And along those lines,
- 14:11we're talking this week about getting ready to retire and some some things need to
- 14:18be making sure that are in place before you do it. As we chat
- 14:20with our retirement professionals, CJ Clausumilia Quavis, what about CJ. You knows,
- 14:24as we're looking out for potential income source and retirement also you know the
- 14:30question of running out of money. These are these are obviously very serious things
- 14:35to be to be planning for to prevent. Yes, yeah, they are.
- 14:39I'm just shocked that you didn't do a Simpsons references. I'm still sorry,
- 14:45I'm still recovering versifying. Yes, it was a different show. Yeah,
- 14:48that's right, it's diversifying. That's good. Yeah. So looking at
- 14:52where you will drive your income is the third critical item on our kind of
- 14:56retirement readiness checklist that we're going through here this morning. So considering how much
- 15:01of your income needs will be supplied by sources other than your portfolio in retirement.
- 15:07These would be things like social Security or pensions, or if your spouse
- 15:13is continuing to work, or if you will have part time work in retirement.
- 15:16It's actually important to sit down before you retire and gather those all up
- 15:20and kind of figure out how much how much income is going to be coming
- 15:24in. The reality is Moline. I spent a lot of time doing this
- 15:26because there's a number of people who say, gosh, I just don't think
- 15:30I've saved enough. And sometimes they come in and we go, oh,
- 15:33yeah, you don't have a ton saved. But it turns out they worked
- 15:35for the Stay of Wisconsin and maybe they were a police officer and they have
- 15:39a really generous pension. And so there's a fair number of our clients who
- 15:43do not use their portfolio at all for income in retirement. Let me repeat
- 15:48that there's a fair number of our clients who do not use their portfolios thank
- 15:54you know, four or three b taxable investment account, stocks, bonds,
- 15:58cash at all to meet their monthly income neans in retirement because their socialecurity and
- 16:03pensions are so large. So it's really important to start looking at where your
- 16:07income will come from. The next step is to quantify how much income you'll
- 16:11receive from those sources, and of course consider how those decisions can enlarge or
- 16:17shrink your benefits. So again, if you say, oh, I'm going
- 16:18to receive two thousand dollars a month from soci security, well, what if
- 16:22you worked longer, or what if you retire earlier, or what if you
- 16:26draw social security earlier? How is that going to impact that quote unquote two
- 16:30thousand dollars a month that you think you're gonna get. So if you want
- 16:36to learn more about that, we've done oh about one hundred shows I think
- 16:38on social security, and so understanding social security is one of those big key
- 16:42components of having a successful retirement. Now, on the other hand, opting
- 16:47for your pension payout that doesn't just cover you, but maybe covers you and
- 16:52your spouse. Is another important consideration around this income checklist, because ultimately,
- 16:59if you have a pen, they're going to give you multiple claim options when
- 17:02you go to retire and elect that benefit. What I'm referencing is there's single
- 17:07life joint and fifty percent survivor joint. In one hundred percent survivor for the
- 17:11state of Wisconsin, there's an option called one hundred and eighty Well it's one
- 17:15hundred and eighty months I believe of guaranteed income, but then life for a
- 17:22spouse. So there's a bunch of different claim options that you've got to just
- 17:26be aware of and evaluate, sit down with your financial advisor to figure out
- 17:29what is best for you. These decisions are all very important, and the
- 17:33more of your income that you're able to replace with source security or pension,
- 17:37then the less you'll have to rely on your portfolio to pay your bills.
- 17:41And obviously, if you can get those income streams large enough by working longer,
- 17:47that can also help. So with regard to whether your portfolio will last
- 17:52through retirement. This is kind of number four on our retirement readiness checklist.
- 17:56So let's assume for a moment that you've been listening to me here and going,
- 18:00well, that's great CJ for those people who work for the State of
- 18:03Wisconsin or for any other private pension system. But I'm just going to have
- 18:07Social Security and that is not going to be enough for me. So that's
- 18:11pretty critical to pause and say, all right, then you are going to
- 18:14have to save enough in that portfolio to then decumulate that portfolio and make sure
- 18:19it doesn't run out of money before you pass away. So people will say,
- 18:25well, okay, so what's a reasonable withdrawal rate? And this sounds
- 18:29complex, but it's actually quite simple. It's this concept of if I have
- 18:33I'll just use large numbers. If I have a million dollars saved for retirement
- 18:37and Social Security is not enough for me to live comfortably, how much can
- 18:41I reasonably expect to draw from that portfolio oversay a thirty year retirement. And
- 18:48so for people who've listened to our show before that it depends. It depends
- 18:52on how aggressive you are, It depends on what your goals are in terms
- 18:55of leaving money to beneficiaries, It depends on a lot of different factors.
- 19:00At that rate of withdrawal is going to be somewhere between three and five percent
- 19:03is probably a good target spot for you to begin. If picking that four
- 19:07percent probably be a good place to begin. But you're gonna still want to
- 19:11sit down with a financial planner because you're gonna want to assess what is the
- 19:15risk of that four percent with market volatility, and how should you invest the
- 19:19dollars to make sure that four percent is sustainable to you? And are you
- 19:23retiring at forty or are you retiring at seventy because those withdrawal rates can change
- 19:29dependent upon when you are retiring. But again we would suggest to just be
- 19:33a little bit flexible with these numbers, sit down with a financial planner and
- 19:37make sure that you go through in detail what you can expect to have coming
- 19:41out of your accounts in retirement. Very fascinating stuff, important stuff this week,
- 19:45as we chat with our retirement planning professionals from Class Financial, c J

- 21:30steps when it comes to planning for retirement and getting ready both mentally and physically
- 21:33to retire. And something we haven't talked about, we don't like to talk
- 21:37about, but it's a reality and that's three letters called tax. So let's
- 21:41talk about how important it is when it comes to tax management of retirement income.
- 21:47Aaliyah. Yeah, So this is this is one area that you really
- 21:49do need to slow down a little bit on and a lot of our self
- 21:52doers perhaps have experienced this when they maybe cashed out something and went, WHOA,
- 21:59I wasn't expecting to pay taxes on that. What a surprise. So
- 22:03this is really super important as you ask yourself if you understand the taxation of
- 22:07what your future retirement is going to look like. So this is number five
- 22:11on our readiness checklist today. So it would be really really simple, and
- 22:15for some people perhaps it is, but for most of us it's not.
- 22:18If you could just bring a single portfolio into retirement and just draw off of
- 22:22that would be very very simple to understand the taxation of that, but the
- 22:26reality is generally more complicated. So most retirees hold their assets in a variety
- 22:33of tax silos. Kind of think about them like that, where we might
- 22:37have some tax deferred dollars, which many of us have in four oh one
- 22:41ks or four O three b's, we might have taxable investment accounts that as
- 22:45you take money from those types of investments, you perhaps will pay some capital
- 22:51gains on which is a different type of taxation. And then you might have
- 22:55row I raise out there or off four O one ks. So that money,
- 22:59of course is going to come to you without taxes associated with it.
- 23:03So men, each of those accounts obviously carries its own tax treatment, which
- 23:08is going to have implications for the types of taxes you're going to pay throughout
- 23:12the years. And and so how do we look at harmonizing your income,
- 23:18you know, understanding which tax tax bracket, how your tax bracket is going
- 23:22to be affected every year. You know, can we take extra from one
- 23:26account so we can quote fill up the little brackets so you're not spilling into
- 23:30the next bracket, because we really want to make sure we're not missing,
- 23:33you know, missing something when it comes to tax time for you, and
- 23:37our clients are very good about that because nobody likes surprises in April all of
- 23:41the following year, so very important understand where you're going to take the income
- 23:47from. Also, we look at you know, some people are encountering RMD
- 23:53distributions which keep on getting pushed out. Of course, we're now at age
- 23:57seventy three, used to be seventy and a half. But how are the
- 24:02RMD distributions that you're going to face in retirement going to affect the whole picture?
- 24:07You know? And one thing about rmds, people say, Okay,
- 24:10I'm being forced to take this income out, I'm being forced to pay the
- 24:12taxes on it. This is all true. You will have to start slowly
- 24:18taking it out. However, it doesn't mean you have to spend it.
- 24:21So many people misunderstand that. They're like, Okay, I have to take
- 24:23it out, I have to pay taxes and I have to spend it.
- 24:26No, many people simply turn it into they transferred into an after tax account
- 24:33and it starts growing again. And yes, you eventually do pay more taxes
- 24:36on that as well through the growth. But important understand these different lines of
- 24:41income sources, the Social Security, perhaps your RMD's in the future, money
- 24:48from your wrath. I raise all these different sources coming to fund this monthly
- 24:52income number that we were discussing earlier, So we want to make good choices
- 24:57as we're doing that. And then out side of tax management, just a
- 25:00couple other things to be aware of as you're considering. Am I right?
- 25:06Am I ready for this retirement on date? Do you have a plan for
- 25:10your health insurance? I don't want to go off the air not having pointed
- 25:14that out, you've got to have a plan. And if you're pre sixty
- 25:17five, that's really really important. Is most of my debt paid off?
- 25:21Critical? Very helpful to not have major fixed expenses as you go into retirement.
- 25:26Are your estate plans in order? And do I have ample emergency funds?
- 25:30So so many things to think about. At the same time, we
- 25:33just like to make sure that you're starting to think about them as you assemble
- 25:37your own future retirement. And all these different items we've had on the checklist
