- 0:48Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, good morning, Monday morning.
- 0:50Speaker 3: You're listening to the voice from Charles on five ADAWCHS.
- 0:53Speaker 3: John Burdett back in the studio today. Was my fault
- 0:55Speaker 3: last week that we didn't get on the air. John's
- 0:57Speaker 3: going to be back with me tomorrow. I'm filling in
- 0:58Speaker 3: for Dave Allen tomorrow on five Live, and we're going
- 1:01Speaker 3: to take our show and do a little bit more
- 1:02Speaker 3: of a broad form. Going to ask John about some
- 1:04Speaker 3: stuff that's happening in today's world and some strategies for
- 1:09Speaker 3: planning for retirement. That's what we talk about all the time.
- 1:11Speaker 3: But we're going to kind of reset it for the
- 1:13Speaker 3: nine o'clock hour tomorrow. John's going to be with me
- 1:15Speaker 3: for the last half or so of the show tomorrow
- 1:18Speaker 3: for a new audience.
- 1:19Speaker 2: They'll make up for the show that we missed last week.
- 1:21Speaker 4: I think, yeah, yeah, well and there again you missed
- 1:25Speaker 4: the first one and then I forgot about.
- 1:26Speaker 2: This yeah last week. So yeah, it all works out.
- 1:29Speaker 2: It happens.
- 1:30Speaker 3: John Burdad is here for you this morning if you
- 1:32Speaker 3: want to learn how you can retire right if you
- 1:34Speaker 3: have any questions about what you can do to get
- 1:36Speaker 3: into retirement. Of course, there's so much going on and
- 1:39Speaker 3: when you talk about the financial world and things like
- 1:42Speaker 3: that right now this show, what John likes to try
- 1:45Speaker 3: to relate to you is to turn down the noise
- 1:47Speaker 3: a little bit and to show you how to work
- 1:49Speaker 3: a plan, because if you have a plan and you
- 1:51Speaker 3: work it, it really doesn't matter a whole lot what
- 1:52Speaker 3: goes on on the outside, and numbers bear that out
- 1:55Speaker 3: over a long, long period of time. So if you
- 1:57Speaker 3: have any questions about how you can plan for your
- 1:59Speaker 3: retirement safe way to do it. Maybe you have some questions,
- 2:02Speaker 3: maybe you're a little bit nervous, anything along those lines.
- 2:05Speaker 3: John can try to help you out through that a
- 2:07Speaker 3: little bit this morning and give us a call. Threes
- 2:09Speaker 3: or a four three four five fifty eight fifty eight
- 2:10Speaker 3: three four five fifty eight fifty eight. You can text
- 2:12Speaker 3: threes are a four non three five five zeros you're eight.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Threes are a four non three five five zero zero eight.
- 2:17Speaker 3: We always like to try to start the show talking
- 2:19Speaker 3: about the previous week that happened in the market, and
- 2:21Speaker 3: then we had some earnings reporting and so forth. Last
- 2:24Speaker 3: week things are turning along.
- 2:26Speaker 4: They really are, I mean a pretty much all the
- 2:28Speaker 4: companies met the mark. I mean there were some, you know,
- 2:33Speaker 4: some of the usual things where yes, we beat earnings,
- 2:36Speaker 4: but then the stock goes down a little bit.
- 2:38Speaker 3: How many of us all like the three of those
- 2:39Speaker 3: articles like this is just the stuff that we talk about.
- 2:41Speaker 2: The earnings were great, but not good enough for what's right.
- 2:44Speaker 4: It's right and usually and you saw that last week
- 2:48Speaker 4: most of the stocks that did dip, you know, made
- 2:51Speaker 4: most of it back by the end of the week.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Earnings have grown by double digits. Now for six quarters
- 2:59Speaker 4: in a row. This year it's it's fourteen percent. So
- 3:04Speaker 4: that's a pretty healthy backdrop. You know, companies are really
- 3:07Speaker 4: making money. It seems to be accelerating the economy while
- 3:12Speaker 4: it's not growing gangbusters, it's solid. It's solid. You look
- 3:17Speaker 4: at most of the data points and there aren't any
- 3:20Speaker 4: major red flags out there. So it's a good backdrop.
- 3:24Speaker 2: You know.
- 3:24Speaker 4: Folks that wonder how our suck's going up with what's
- 3:27Speaker 4: going on in the world, Well, what's going on in
- 3:30Speaker 4: the world is the companies are making money, and that's
- 3:33Speaker 4: what matters when you own the company.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, maybe it's not the greatest, greatest time
- 3:38Speaker 3: to be invested in peaceful nations, dot com or like that,
- 3:42Speaker 3: but there are companies out there that know how to
- 3:44Speaker 3: make money during during times like this, you know, and you.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Know, most of those earnings come from our daily living,
- 3:52Speaker 4: the actions we take, and that's pretty resilient. We don't
- 3:55Speaker 4: change our habits that often, so the companies that we
- 3:59Speaker 4: utilize consume in our daily lives, we're still doing that.
- 4:03Speaker 4: And the earnings proved set.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Out meant to send you.
- 4:06Speaker 3: I didn't want to act like your like personal secretary
- 4:09Speaker 3: or annoy you too much this weekend because I got
- 4:12Speaker 3: several ideas that dawned on me with some stuff that
- 4:14Speaker 3: I was reading, and one of the things that I
- 4:16Speaker 3: came across that I don't know, we might have to
- 4:18Speaker 3: talk about this long form at some point because I
- 4:20Speaker 3: thought it was fascinating, but I didn't get a chance
- 4:22Speaker 3: to send it to you. Somebody in the financial spectra
- 4:25Speaker 3: did a deep dive on Michael Jackson and it was
- 4:29Speaker 3: absolutely financing. It was absolutely it was extraordinarily interesting, and
- 4:34Speaker 3: I think that you you would have found it interesting too,
- 4:36Speaker 3: because it examined his history from a financial standpoint and
- 4:40Speaker 3: and examined mistakes that he made along his way on
- 4:43Speaker 3: why he when he died, he died in so much debt,
- 4:45Speaker 3: how he mishandled his music catalog that he bought from
- 4:48Speaker 3: Sony and all that stuff, and then it told the
- 4:51Speaker 3: story of after he passed how the people that took
- 4:54Speaker 3: over his estate have now turned it into what it
- 4:57Speaker 3: should have been, which is a multi billion dollar estate
- 4:59Speaker 3: that is now making tons of money. He's no longer
- 5:02Speaker 3: he's dead, but he's no longer in debt anymore. He
- 5:04Speaker 3: died with a massive debt, and now it's an extraordinarily
- 5:07Speaker 3: profitable estate because they did, honestly, many of the things
- 5:11Speaker 3: that you talk about on this show, allocating out his debts,
- 5:14Speaker 3: figuring out a way to pay those off, and then
- 5:16Speaker 3: figuring out a way to turn those back into profits.
- 5:18Speaker 3: They did it, and he's making and that estate is
- 5:21Speaker 3: now making tons of money again. And when I was
- 5:23Speaker 3: reading it, I was like, holy cow, this is like
- 5:24Speaker 3: a John class.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Well, you know that happened with Elvis too, right, yeah,
- 5:29Speaker 4: right away, he didn't have a whole lot of wealth,
- 5:31Speaker 4: but boy, the estate turned it around. And that goes
- 5:35Speaker 4: to show that it's not always how much you make,
- 5:38Speaker 4: it's what you do with what you make and the
- 5:40Speaker 4: decisions you make. And usually, you know, monkeys and lamas
- 5:44Speaker 4: are bad financial decisions.
- 5:45Speaker 3: This article started off with a story where they had
- 5:48Speaker 3: interviewed well actually they had taken portions of an interview
- 5:52Speaker 3: from that Michael Jackson's bodyguards did. And one of the
- 5:55Speaker 3: stories that this article started off with was him walking
- 5:58Speaker 3: into an antique store sometime it was just a few
- 6:01Speaker 3: years before he died and spending upwards of sixty million
- 6:04Speaker 3: dollars and just twenty minutes just on random like stuff
- 6:09Speaker 3: that you know, according to the people with witnesses and stuff,
- 6:12Speaker 3: he probably never looked at again. He just like went
- 6:13Speaker 3: in there and bought all this stuff, send it to
- 6:14Speaker 3: the ranch or whatever, and then it was in his home,
- 6:17Speaker 3: you know, like no real reason to buy it or
- 6:19Speaker 3: anything else, just it was there and he bought it.
- 6:21Speaker 3: It's just an incredible way to waste money. And not
- 6:24Speaker 3: all of us going to afford to do that on
- 6:26Speaker 3: for sixty million dollars, you know, but certainly, you know,
- 6:28Speaker 3: maybe you have that three hundred dollars xbox or gaming
- 6:32Speaker 3: system or something like that that your kid once or
- 6:34Speaker 3: whatever it might be, it might be really tempting to
- 6:36Speaker 3: get it. Now, go into debt or whatever it might be.
- 6:38Speaker 3: It start, you can start small, whatever it is. It
- 6:40Speaker 3: can start small. Suddenly you can't pay that off, and
- 6:43Speaker 3: then you're looking at well, the next birthday you're going
- 6:44Speaker 3: to have to get something else on it, and then
- 6:46Speaker 3: before you know it, you're you're upside down.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Yep, you're upside down and buying monkeys.
- 6:51Speaker 3: You don't want to buy monkeys, that's for sure. That's
- 6:54Speaker 3: for sure you can get in on the conversation this morning.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Three zerre a four three four five fifty eight fifty eight.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Threes are a four three four five fifty five. It
- 7:00Speaker 3: is our number.
- 7:00Speaker 2: I thought, you know, one of the things that John
- 7:02Speaker 2: has on.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Top of Fourth Avenue Financial, which is located on Court
- 7:05Speaker 3: Street in downtown Charleston, is, of course his wife runs
- 7:10Speaker 3: the business of Inntages Vines over in South Charleston, and
- 7:12Speaker 3: you have a final shop over there. And of course,
- 7:14Speaker 3: of course John is a huge classic rock fan. Yeah,
- 7:18Speaker 3: you like all kinds of music, but we talk about
- 7:20Speaker 3: classic rock a lot and different things along those lines.
- 7:22Speaker 3: So I was playing around this weekend with trying to
- 7:25Speaker 3: match up some classic rock songs with some themes that
- 7:27Speaker 3: we talk about on this program. So I thought there
- 7:29Speaker 3: would be a couple of things here that might be
- 7:31Speaker 3: interesting for us to go down, just to give us
- 7:33Speaker 3: a way.
- 7:34Speaker 2: To talk about some of the stuff that we always
- 7:35Speaker 2: talk about.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Anyway, there's nothing really new here, so I thought we
- 7:37Speaker 3: could start off with Pink Floyd's Money. Right, that's maybe
- 7:42Speaker 3: the most rote to thing in the world to start
- 7:43Speaker 3: with when it comes with finances. It's been the theme
- 7:46Speaker 3: on how many finance shows and everything else. But there
- 7:48Speaker 3: is something to be said about that. There's the sounds
- 7:53Speaker 3: of the cash resorts. They talk about money, and the
- 7:55Speaker 3: thing is, it's actually very succinct because it is what
- 7:58Speaker 3: drives things. I mean money, it's sort of the thing
- 8:01Speaker 3: should that exchanges hands. Cash register, cash register, cash register.
- 8:04Speaker 3: That's true, I mean, that's how society works. And so
- 8:07Speaker 3: the first thing you have to kind of do is
- 8:09Speaker 3: is find a way to make your money go to
- 8:11Speaker 3: work for you.
- 8:12Speaker 4: Absolutely, and you know, and remember too, every time that
- 8:15Speaker 4: cash register rings, you know, that's a transaction. That money
- 8:19Speaker 4: is just how we how we trade and goods and services,
- 8:23Speaker 4: and money is not a finite thing. It expands, you
- 8:27Speaker 4: know if if the way the banking system works, you know,
- 8:31Speaker 4: if I do a deal with you, you take that money,
- 8:36Speaker 4: you put it in the bank. Now the bank then
- 8:38Speaker 4: has that asset and they can leverage that into more
- 8:41Speaker 4: money it via loans and things of that nature. So
- 8:45Speaker 4: you know, money expands when it's being put to use.
- 8:49Speaker 4: And I think a lot of folks you know that
- 8:52Speaker 4: doesn't mean you know, frivolous spending, but it expands it
- 8:59Speaker 4: If you do the right things with money, you attract
- 9:01Speaker 4: more money. It's just the way it works.
- 9:03Speaker 2: And uh.
- 9:04Speaker 4: And it's learning to to do that and uh. And
- 9:08Speaker 4: this is a great song, a great album obviously.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole song is about money.
- 9:13Speaker 4: The whole songs about money. And you know, mentions buying
- 9:16Speaker 4: a football team. That would have been a great investment too,
- 9:18Speaker 4: if I think about But but yeah, you have to
- 9:24Speaker 4: have your money doing the right things for you. You
- 9:27Speaker 4: have to treat it right. And it does not matter.
- 9:30Speaker 4: Just like in the case of Michael Jackson that we
- 9:32Speaker 4: just talked about, it does not matter how much money
- 9:35Speaker 4: you earn. If your habits are not sound, you will
- 9:38Speaker 4: not keep it. Money likes to live where it's treated
- 9:42Speaker 4: well and handled right.
- 9:44Speaker 2: And uh.
- 9:45Speaker 4: And the rules to that are are very simple. But
- 9:50Speaker 4: but you know, life intrudes and our desires sometimes outweigh
- 9:54Speaker 4: our logic, and before you know it, we are on
- 9:59Speaker 4: the wrong side out of that compound interest equation. You
- 10:03Speaker 4: know that power that that compound interest has that works
- 10:09Speaker 4: for you. We talk about that all the time. How
- 10:11Speaker 4: much if you start today small, how great it can
- 10:14Speaker 4: grow to in the future. Well, when you're having consumer debt,
- 10:18Speaker 4: you're paying two or three times the rate of return
- 10:21Speaker 4: that you could earn on that money to someone else.
- 10:25Speaker 4: How are you going to build wealth if you're consistently
- 10:27Speaker 4: doing that.
- 10:28Speaker 2: It's impossible.
- 10:30Speaker 4: It's impossible unless you just happen to know, hit the
- 10:32Speaker 4: lottery or something. But you're not going to earn your
- 10:36Speaker 4: way out of a problem like that unless you have
- 10:38Speaker 4: a little bit of discipline that you put in place.
- 10:40Speaker 3: I have a feeling, and I don't know if this
- 10:42Speaker 3: is true for sure, but one of the barriers for
- 10:44Speaker 3: people maybe even reaching out to you to begin with,
- 10:47Speaker 3: is that people think that living below their means is
- 10:50Speaker 3: like a rich person's job or like something that will
- 10:53Speaker 3: I don't make that much money. There's no way I
- 10:54Speaker 3: can live below my means. And yeah, I know that
- 10:56Speaker 3: it gets harder. It definitely gets harder the less money
- 10:59Speaker 3: you make. And there's problems you having. You got to
- 11:00Speaker 3: do what you need to do to eat and put
- 11:02Speaker 3: food on the table and take care of your family
- 11:03Speaker 3: and stuff like that. There's no question about that. But
- 11:06Speaker 3: have you examined exactly what's going on and exactly what
- 11:09Speaker 3: it means. It doesn't have to start huge. It can
- 11:10Speaker 3: start with small things. Whatever it might be that you
- 11:13Speaker 3: can give yourself a little bit of room, whether it
- 11:15Speaker 3: be canceling some subscriptions, paying off a little credit card
- 11:18Speaker 3: that gives you a little bit of room, whatever it
- 11:19Speaker 3: might be, you can give yourself a little bit of
- 11:21Speaker 3: a breathing room somewhere. You need to find somewhere to
- 11:24Speaker 3: start for it.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like you say, small amounts make big
- 11:27Speaker 4: differences over time. And if you never break that cycle,
- 11:31Speaker 4: if you never get to where you're creating consistent savings
- 11:35Speaker 4: and then ultimately investment out of your monthly budget, you
- 11:40Speaker 4: will never escape that that feeling of you're always on
- 11:43Speaker 4: the treadmill, you'll never escape it. So if you want
- 11:48Speaker 4: to change the way you are financial status is, you
- 11:52Speaker 4: have to make a choice. To change that, you have
- 11:56Speaker 4: to live below your means. And like you say, somebody
- 12:01Speaker 4: that makes a million dollars a year certainly has to
- 12:04Speaker 4: save a whole lot more money to keep that lifestyle
- 12:07Speaker 4: up eventually in retirement. But if you make twenty five
- 12:10Speaker 4: thousand dollars a year, you know, you still have to
- 12:13Speaker 4: do some type of savings or you'll never escape. And
- 12:17Speaker 4: then the next thing is, you know, think about the
- 12:20Speaker 4: things you want. You know, let's say I want a
- 12:25Speaker 4: you know, new car or a new TV or something
- 12:28Speaker 4: like that. You think, well, I can go buy it
- 12:30Speaker 4: with my credit card or taking out a loan that
- 12:33Speaker 4: sort of thing. Well, now that that item costs you
- 12:36Speaker 4: more because that interest is consistently adding to the cost
- 12:40Speaker 4: of that. And that interest not only adds to the
- 12:43Speaker 4: cost of that, that interest restricts you from being able
- 12:47Speaker 4: to create savings and investment. And so you know, sometimes
- 12:52Speaker 4: it's it might be if you want to buy that TV,
- 12:56Speaker 4: just wait three months, wait four months, and save the
- 12:58Speaker 4: money to buy it. You know, that alone saves you,
- 13:03Speaker 4: saves you money because now you're not in that debt
- 13:06Speaker 4: cycle that's so hard to get out of. And and
- 13:09Speaker 4: it's so easy today with these what they call it a.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Firm or a car pay after pay, all those type
- 13:17Speaker 2: of things.
- 13:18Speaker 4: You know, you go to check out and say, hey,
- 13:20Speaker 4: it's interest free, we'll break this into four payments. Well,
- 13:24Speaker 4: before you know it, if you if you do those
- 13:26Speaker 4: type of things, the next thing you know, well you're
- 13:29Speaker 4: not paying it off in four payments. Now you owe
- 13:31Speaker 4: all kinds of interest. I mean, you know these financial
- 13:34Speaker 4: institutions aren't giving you money for free.
- 13:38Speaker 3: Yeah, they know that people want to slip up that
- 13:39Speaker 3: if they do it enough that there's going to be
- 13:41Speaker 3: another a person that can't make the payment the one
- 13:43Speaker 3: month and then they get the interest triggered or whatever
- 13:45Speaker 3: it's going to be that happens to it. There's there's
- 13:47Speaker 3: there's there's a trick. There's a trick. Trust me, they're
- 13:50Speaker 3: not just doing it for free. All just take as
- 13:51Speaker 3: long as you want to pay this back.
- 13:52Speaker 2: It's fine. Yeah.
- 13:54Speaker 4: And and and when you think about money, like we've
- 13:57Speaker 4: talked about before, being the being how we transact goods
- 14:02Speaker 4: and services, the ability to serve someone, create goods and
- 14:06Speaker 4: services and serve other people. That's how you actually build
- 14:11Speaker 4: build wealth. You know, it's not the dollar bill. So
- 14:14Speaker 4: if you want something and you can't afford it at
- 14:18Speaker 4: your station in life, than what should you do? Well,
- 14:22Speaker 4: you shouldn't borrow to get it. You should look at
- 14:25Speaker 4: your internally and say, okay, I need to earn this
- 14:29Speaker 4: amount of money and save this amount of money to
- 14:31Speaker 4: get that. Are there things you can do? Are there
- 14:34Speaker 4: side hustles you can do? Are there things in your
- 14:37Speaker 4: career that you can do and maybe invest in to
- 14:41Speaker 4: allow you to serve at a higher level? You know, skills, qualifications,
- 14:46Speaker 4: things like that that might help you earn more. You know,
- 14:49Speaker 4: think about things a little bit like that, rather than
- 14:53Speaker 4: just I'm at this station and I want that and
- 14:55Speaker 4: I need to go get it. You know, think about
- 14:58Speaker 4: that transaction and what it really what it really means,
- 15:02Speaker 4: and how you can achieve what you want because you
- 15:05Speaker 4: know everything out there. I sometimes, you know, you go
- 15:09Speaker 4: to New York City or you go somewhere and you
- 15:10Speaker 4: see all the buildings and you see all the people,
- 15:12Speaker 4: and and you look around and think, gosh, somebody owns
- 15:16Speaker 4: all this stuff. You know, how did they do it?
- 15:20Speaker 2: Well?
- 15:22Speaker 4: You know, in my mind it's like, well, if somebody
- 15:24Speaker 4: can do it, then I can do it too.
- 15:26Speaker 3: I use that so often with things like even like
- 15:29Speaker 3: when I'm talking to my wife about something that she's frustrated,
- 15:31Speaker 3: I'm like, do you know all of the idiots out
- 15:32Speaker 3: there that can do this?
- 15:33Speaker 2: Right?
- 15:34Speaker 3: I mean, I don't mean but seriously sometimes I don't
- 15:37Speaker 3: mean to be too bold with me.
- 15:39Speaker 4: But it's a mindset that you can you can, you know, say, Okay,
- 15:44Speaker 4: it's not impossible to have the things that I that
- 15:46Speaker 4: I want.
- 15:47Speaker 2: I just need to figure.
- 15:48Speaker 4: Out how people make that happen. And large things that
- 15:53Speaker 4: people have and want. They they have it. They have
- 15:55Speaker 4: it because they know how money works. They know how
- 16:00Speaker 4: that process works, and they're disciplined enough to stick to it.
- 16:03Speaker 4: And you know that's I don't know how we get
- 16:08Speaker 4: the pink Floyd there, but certainly money is what we want. Yeah,
- 16:12Speaker 4: money is something that's right. You know, money is something
- 16:17Speaker 4: that is not It's almost not a physical thing. I mean,
- 16:24Speaker 4: it's it's really how you think about it and how
- 16:27Speaker 4: you attract it. I mean that sounds almost metaphysical, but
- 16:30Speaker 4: but there's something to that.
- 16:32Speaker 2: That's great information.
- 16:33Speaker 3: Genre Dad from Fourth Avenue Financial, we take a break
- 16:37Speaker 3: here in just a few minutes. We're kind of pairing
- 16:39Speaker 3: up some financial disciplines with some some classic rock music,
- 16:43Speaker 3: trying to have a little bit of fun with that.
- 16:44Speaker 3: We're talking about money, which is what makes the whole
- 16:47Speaker 3: thing go around. That's what makes retirement and everything work.
- 16:50Speaker 3: And if we move on from from the hiss of
- 16:52Speaker 3: the vinyl on dark side of the mood and put
- 16:54Speaker 3: on put on the Beatles and maybe something a little
- 16:57Speaker 3: brighter sounding, a little bit more, a little bit more wistful,
- 17:01Speaker 3: and that would be the long and winding road from
- 17:03Speaker 3: that's McCartney singing there and that does describe a bit
- 17:07Speaker 3: when it comes to retirement. What I thought would be
- 17:09Speaker 3: interesting to talk about when we talk about this journey
- 17:11Speaker 3: on the long and winding road for retirement. We talk
- 17:14Speaker 3: about that journey a lot, but what does a healthy
- 17:16Speaker 3: retirement look like at the end? What do we want
- 17:19Speaker 3: the person when they finally pull the pin on their
- 17:22Speaker 3: retirement and they're ready to go, What should their life
- 17:25Speaker 3: look like for their next for the next era of
- 17:28Speaker 3: their life.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Well, of course that's going to vary for everybody. I think.
- 17:32Speaker 4: I think the thing that you want to achieve is
- 17:36Speaker 4: emotional satisfaction and some confidence built around it, whatever that is.
- 17:42Speaker 4: You know, some people are fine being retired living on
- 17:48Speaker 4: two thousand a month. Some people need twenty thousand a
- 17:50Speaker 4: month to have that same satisfaction level. I think that
- 17:55Speaker 4: there again, money is important, but it is still a mindset. Know,
- 18:00Speaker 4: what are you going to do in retirement as the
- 18:04Speaker 4: next chapter to make yourself feel like you're making a
- 18:09Speaker 4: contribution in some fashion? You know, what is the next
- 18:13Speaker 4: chapter is?
- 18:14Speaker 2: It?
- 18:14Speaker 4: Is it traveling around and seeing things you want to see?
- 18:17Speaker 4: Great that that's fulfilling to you. That's an emotional thing.
- 18:20Speaker 4: Is it spending more time with the family, you know,
- 18:23Speaker 4: is it volunteering at charities?
- 18:25Speaker 3: Is it?
- 18:26Speaker 4: You know, the folks that I find that that seem
- 18:30Speaker 4: to be most pleased with retirement, Yes they have money,
- 18:35Speaker 4: but they also have purpose and and that's really not
- 18:40Speaker 4: different than what we just talked about. You know, what
- 18:43Speaker 4: is your purpose to? You know, yes, I want these
- 18:46Speaker 4: things and I want to achieve these things, but there's
- 18:49Speaker 4: a while behind everything.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Why do we want to?
- 18:53Speaker 1: So?
- 18:53Speaker 4: Why do and understanding that and working towards that is
- 18:57Speaker 4: this that doesn't really change in retirement. It's just you're
- 19:00Speaker 4: able to do things. If you've done the correct financial
- 19:04Speaker 4: steps a long way, you're able to do them without
- 19:07Speaker 4: putting in the eight hour day anymore. And so it
- 19:10Speaker 4: gives you more time to go into that next chapter
- 19:14Speaker 4: and turn that that you know, long and winding road
- 19:17Speaker 4: into a longer road hopefully where you can spend more time,
- 19:23Speaker 4: even if it's not as the same number of years
- 19:26Speaker 4: maybe that you had before. Now you control all of
- 19:28Speaker 4: your time because you've put your money to work correctly.
- 19:32Speaker 3: That's Jombredet and Fourth Avenue Financial talking a little bit
- 19:35Speaker 3: about the long and winding road for retirement this morning,
- 19:37Speaker 3: using your money. We're going to talk about maybe some
- 19:39Speaker 3: ways that you don't want to ge fooled again when
- 19:41Speaker 3: we come back. That's going to maybe plant to see
- 19:44Speaker 3: there just a little bit. Johnbredet is in studio with

- 21:10Speaker 6: Conservative justice Gerald Titus spent his career fighting for both.
- 21:14Speaker 6: As a prosecutor, Titus took on criminals and traffickers. Now,
- 21:19Speaker 6: as a justice, he applies the law as written fairly
- 21:23Speaker 6: and independently endorsed by law enforcement. He stands with those
- 21:28Speaker 6: who protect and serve because when courts uphold the law,
- 21:31Speaker 6: criminals are held accountable, and communities are safer. For Justice Titus,

- 22:16Speaker 1: oh four nine three five fifty oh eight.
- 22:32Speaker 3: It's kind of a long intro, but I've always loved it.
- 22:34Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know what it is right off the
- 22:35Speaker 3: top of your head. You're listening to retire Right Radio FIVEWHS.
- 22:38Speaker 3: The voice of charleson am Deel Cooper in studio with
- 22:40Speaker 3: me is John Bredett from Fourth Avenue Financial talking a
- 22:43Speaker 3: little bit this morning about the themes of investing in
- 22:47Speaker 3: retiring rights. Pete Townsend, who's going to take us into
- 22:53Speaker 3: not being fold again, which I think is an important
- 22:57Speaker 3: part because when we talk about when we talk about
- 22:59Speaker 3: things about investing, things along those lines, being fold is
- 23:03Speaker 3: something that I mean, I think sometimes it just it
- 23:06Speaker 3: can just happen to you, right, I mean, everybody can
- 23:07Speaker 3: make a mistake every once in a while. Townsend's anthem
- 23:10Speaker 3: is about revolution that circles back to the same place,
- 23:13Speaker 3: the new bass same as the old ball boss and investing.
- 23:16Speaker 3: This is the cycle of market hype. Every generation gets
- 23:18Speaker 3: fooled by a new wave of speculation, the tech bubble,
- 23:21Speaker 3: crypto memes, thoughts, whatever it might be that look different
- 23:23Speaker 3: on the surface but runs the same psychological pattern underneath.
- 23:26Speaker 4: There you go, and I will say, I think that
- 23:28Speaker 4: song maybe if you if you want a song to
- 23:34Speaker 4: represent what rock is, I think that's a good pretty dark, close,
- 23:37Speaker 4: pretty darn clothes. It's got attitude, it's got the you know,
- 23:41Speaker 4: it's got the guttural scream in the middle of it.
- 23:44Speaker 2: You know, it pretty much checks all the all the
- 23:46Speaker 2: rock box No I get you, Yeah, like that.
- 23:48Speaker 3: The Who and Zeppelin I think really embody some of that,
- 23:52Speaker 3: just like what when you think about rock and roll,
- 23:54Speaker 3: sometimes they really embody that.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Sometimes I think I get where you're coming from there anyway.
- 24:00Speaker 2: But yeah, it's one good fooled again.
- 24:01Speaker 4: You know, there's all kinds of things out there that
- 24:04Speaker 4: that we fall victim of. And you know, one of
- 24:09Speaker 4: the things, and we've we've hit on this before. I
- 24:11Speaker 4: think right now, it's this concept of gambling and the
- 24:17Speaker 4: gamification of things, thinking that that is actually a path
- 24:22Speaker 4: to future wealth and and and that's totally different from investing.
- 24:28Speaker 4: And and it's a it's a fools game to gamble
- 24:31Speaker 4: because you know that if you play long enough, you're
- 24:33Speaker 4: going to you're going to lose. You might win a
- 24:36Speaker 4: few from time to time, but over time you're going
- 24:39Speaker 4: to lose because that's the way the game is set up.
- 24:42Speaker 4: That's not how investing works. You know, investing, you're putting
- 24:45Speaker 4: your money to work in companies that are serving people,
- 24:50Speaker 4: providing value for people, and if they're successful, they grow
- 24:53Speaker 4: and nobody loses in that scenario. That's a whole different,
- 24:59Speaker 4: different thing. It might seem similar because oh, you see it.
- 25:04Speaker 4: You know, your balance in your account going up and
- 25:07Speaker 4: down in the gambling account as well, but it's a
- 25:09Speaker 4: totally different structure. And I think that that is the
- 25:12Speaker 4: biggest fools game around.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Right now you can see the shells of these moment
- 25:19Speaker 3: by moment things that blip on the screen. I was
- 25:25Speaker 3: reading this article. This was a few weeks ago, but
- 25:28Speaker 3: it was so stark in that I think they took
- 25:30Speaker 3: maybe eight or ten of the top crypto slash what
- 25:34Speaker 3: were those things called with the monkeys, the the digital monkeys.
- 25:38Speaker 3: I can't even remember what they were called, now, you
- 25:39Speaker 3: know what I mean? Yeah, the digital a in NFL
- 25:43Speaker 3: n f not nil, the n f TS, yeah, the NFTs. Gosh, man,
- 25:47Speaker 3: it's like it wasn't even that long ago, right, it
- 25:49Speaker 3: took Like, of course, cryptocurrency is still around, but these
- 25:52Speaker 3: were the people that were that were the highest influencers
- 25:55Speaker 3: around the time of the n f T, S, Bitcoin,
- 25:59Speaker 3: all these different things that they were influencing about the
- 26:01Speaker 3: meme stocks.
- 26:02Speaker 2: So there were these people that were that that was.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Their stock in trade and be a millionaire in a
- 26:06Speaker 3: minute or whatever it might be, right, and so this
- 26:09Speaker 3: article traced back to their social media accounts, every single one.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Now of course it was it was probably picking from
- 26:15Speaker 3: the dozen, so I mean, you know, so you go
- 26:17Speaker 3: in and you find eight that have failed, so that
- 26:18Speaker 3: maybe there were some that have succeeded, but these were
- 26:20Speaker 3: huge influencers at the time. And of the I think
- 26:22Speaker 3: it was eight of the eight, five of them you
- 26:25Speaker 3: no longer could find a social media presence for, and
- 26:28Speaker 3: three of them had pivoted on to completely something else.
- 26:30Speaker 3: And then I think one guy was into like wick
- 26:32Speaker 3: and stuff or something like that, you know. So, I
- 26:34Speaker 3: mean it's like people just find moved from scam to
- 26:37Speaker 3: scam to scam.
- 26:38Speaker 4: And the thing about it, you know, in those type
- 26:39Speaker 4: of things, somebody does make money. Now they make money
- 26:43Speaker 4: by pickpocketing all.
- 26:45Speaker 2: The people that get sucked into the into the well.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Like a pyramid scheme at that point, Yeah, that's exactly
- 26:51Speaker 3: what happens.
- 26:51Speaker 4: And you have to understand what you're doing with your money.
- 26:56Speaker 4: You have to understand, you know, I'm putting this money
- 26:59Speaker 4: to work here. Why am I putting this money to
- 27:02Speaker 4: work here? I'm putting it to work here because I
- 27:05Speaker 4: believe that the company I'm investing in is valuable to
- 27:10Speaker 4: people and will continue to be valuable to people, and
- 27:13Speaker 4: will innovate and become more.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Valuable to people.
- 27:16Speaker 4: And if you just stick with that that what is
- 27:19Speaker 4: the ultimate purpose and invest along that line That doesn't
- 27:24Speaker 4: mean every investment you make is going to be great,
- 27:27Speaker 4: but you're moving in the right direction and that filter
- 27:32Speaker 4: you put on that will keep you from being fooled
- 27:35Speaker 4: with some of the you know, flash in the pan
- 27:38Speaker 4: things that come come along, and I'm sure there will
- 27:42Speaker 4: be more things that we can't even imagined that that
- 27:45Speaker 4: will tempt us in the future as well. But if
- 27:49Speaker 4: you have that filter, is this valuable to somebody? Am
- 27:52Speaker 4: I serving people?
- 27:53Speaker 2: Is it? You know?
- 27:55Speaker 4: If I win at this, does that mean somebody else
- 27:57Speaker 4: has to lose? Well? If if the answer is you know,
- 28:02Speaker 4: yes to that, then that's not something you want to
- 28:05Speaker 4: be involved in, you know, because then that's a game
- 28:07Speaker 4: of chance. That's not an investment.
- 28:10Speaker 3: And you can learn from even if you made a
- 28:12Speaker 3: mistake on an NFT or something along those lines. You
- 28:14Speaker 3: can think about the amount of money whatever. I mean,
- 28:16Speaker 3: some people were doing millions of dollars. I don't know
- 28:18Speaker 3: if there was really a like a normal person retail
- 28:22Speaker 3: and to that. I don't know if you could spend
- 28:23Speaker 3: like five hundred dollars or on an FT. I don't
- 28:25Speaker 3: know if that if that market existed or not, ye
- 28:27Speaker 3: could so if that market existed, and maybe you lost
- 28:29Speaker 3: your five hundred dollars or whatever. It is, just you know,
- 28:31Speaker 3: not to give yourself a heartache, but go back and
- 28:33Speaker 3: look at investments you could have made for five hundred
- 28:34Speaker 3: dollars and see where you would have ended up if
- 28:35Speaker 3: you would have done it, and where that would have
- 28:37Speaker 3: ended up in thirty years or whatever it might be.
- 28:39Speaker 3: Not to give yourself heartache, to be like, Okay, I
- 28:41Speaker 3: won't get fooled again. You know, I'll learn from this
- 28:43Speaker 3: the next hot thing that comes along that everybody on
- 28:46Speaker 3: TikTok's telling me I should do. And as you get older,
- 28:48Speaker 3: I think you probably, I mean, what does it mean anymore?
- 28:50Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Whatever the more mature way of looking at things are
- 28:54Speaker 3: going to be in the future, that's probably what people
- 28:55Speaker 3: are going to gravitate towards. And hopefully you won't make
- 28:57Speaker 3: those kinds of mistakes again.
- 28:59Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's and and also that maturity. That's why
- 29:02Speaker 4: people wake up sometimes around age forty and say, hey,
- 29:07Speaker 4: I need to get my head in the game.
- 29:09Speaker 3: I'm no longer in my thirties. I'm no longer the
- 29:11Speaker 3: party guy or the party girl. I need to think about.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they think about the future.
- 29:15Speaker 4: But if you could figure out how to, you know,
- 29:18Speaker 4: take that young person and and I part some of
- 29:22Speaker 4: that information change, it's life changing.
- 29:25Speaker 3: I'm gonna kind of we have about seven minutes left
- 29:27Speaker 3: in the program, so I want to take the last
- 29:28Speaker 3: couple of themes from the classic cro crossover that we're
- 29:31Speaker 3: doing here in kind of combine them into one because
- 29:32Speaker 3: I think that it works. The first first of those,
- 29:34Speaker 3: we talked about how Dark Side of the Moon was
- 29:36Speaker 3: basically an album about money, and so I think Tom
- 29:39Speaker 3: works really well in that as a daring reminder that
- 29:41Speaker 3: Tom is passing, whether you notice it or not. Then
- 29:43Speaker 3: it delivers the gut punch. You are young and life
- 29:46Speaker 3: is long, and then there's time to kill today. Then
- 29:48Speaker 3: one day you find ten years have gone behind you.
- 29:50Speaker 3: Yeah it's the truth. Yeah you missed that. You missed it, man,
- 29:55Speaker 3: but that's not to say. And that's one of the
- 29:56Speaker 3: things that we do on this show.
- 29:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:58Speaker 3: Sure, it'd be great if you were nineteen with your
- 30:00Speaker 3: very first job and you created your own maybe IRA
- 30:03Speaker 3: or something like that, and then you got your first
- 30:05Speaker 3: four O one K with your corporate job, and you've
- 30:07Speaker 3: been investing since you were first since you first had
- 30:09Speaker 3: your job. I had my first salary job when I
- 30:11Speaker 3: was fifteen. Boy, I wish I would have been taking
- 30:13Speaker 3: some of that wheeler money and stocking it away.
- 30:15Speaker 2: You know.
- 30:16Speaker 3: I wasn't doing that though, honestly. But just because you
- 30:19Speaker 3: don't get started there, you should and you can contact
- 30:21Speaker 3: John to do it. But there's some strategies where you
- 30:23Speaker 3: can get caught up and you can help with that.
- 30:25Speaker 2: But you still need time of some kind.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Yeah, time is uh uh. You know you'd need a
- 30:29Speaker 4: long and winding road time work for sure to your advantage.
- 30:34Speaker 4: But yeah, this is a great song. This song is
- 30:37Speaker 4: almost financial planning one oh one. I actually wrote an
- 30:41Speaker 4: article called I Remember that actually the dark side of
- 30:43Speaker 4: the Moon that's around You know about this song, but
- 30:46Speaker 4: uh uh, but yes, you know, you you put it off,
- 30:50Speaker 4: You put it off, you put it off, and then
- 30:53Speaker 4: it's a shock when you realize how much time has
- 30:55Speaker 4: gone by and you've not done anything productive with it,
- 30:59Speaker 4: and weekends and you you know, money is one thing.
- 31:04Speaker 4: I mean, you might do something foolish with money and
- 31:09Speaker 4: you can learn from that, but you can't get the
- 31:12Speaker 4: time back. You know, time is the most valuable piece
- 31:16Speaker 4: of the puzzle and if you have time on your side,
- 31:19Speaker 4: you know, grab it. The sooner you grab it and
- 31:22Speaker 4: start doing productive things, the better off you're going to be.
- 31:26Speaker 4: It's not a as far as we know, unless quantum
- 31:31Speaker 4: physics jumps in. It's not a renewable resource, you know.
- 31:36Speaker 4: It's just something that is finite, and we have to
- 31:39Speaker 4: make the most of it and not let it pass.
- 31:41Speaker 4: And like I say, pass mistakes you've made with money,
- 31:46Speaker 4: that's okay. If you've learned something from it, that's tuitions.
- 31:51Speaker 4: You know, you have today and you have tomorrow and
- 31:56Speaker 4: hopefully many more tomorrows to change your financial well being,
- 32:03Speaker 4: and it's best to start today. Start today. Don't beat
- 32:07Speaker 4: yourself up over about what's happened in the past, because
- 32:10Speaker 4: that's the past. Try to learn lessons from that to
- 32:13Speaker 4: carry forward.
- 32:14Speaker 3: That details nicely into the last song theme that we're
- 32:16Speaker 3: going to talk about, which is Fleetwood mix Don't Stop.
- 32:18Speaker 3: Christy mcveee wrote this song during the most chaotic period
- 32:21Speaker 3: of Fleetwood Mike's personal and professional lives, and it became
- 32:24Speaker 3: an anthem about pushing forward anyway. Yesterday is gone isn't denial.
- 32:27Speaker 3: It's financial planning philosophy, Whether it's a market crash, a
- 32:30Speaker 3: bad investment in a decade of not saving. The best
- 32:33Speaker 3: time to start was then the second best time is now.
- 32:36Speaker 3: There you go. That's exactly what what you just said.
- 32:38Speaker 3: And so you don't want to start. I mean, even
- 32:41Speaker 3: if you screwed up, you lost investments, you know whatever,
- 32:44Speaker 3: it could have happened to you, what are you going
- 32:46Speaker 3: to do? You just want to give up? You got
- 32:47Speaker 3: you got to start. You gotta you don't give up.
- 32:50Speaker 3: Don't get food again, but just don't stop. You gotta,
- 32:53Speaker 3: you gotta keep going.
- 32:54Speaker 4: And you know, speaking of Tom and this is off
- 32:56Speaker 4: the subject, but this song, every time I hear it now,
- 32:59Speaker 4: I think of Bill Clinton's presidential Oh I know, yeah,
- 33:02Speaker 4: and this song when I thought, wow, that was an
- 33:06Speaker 4: old song then then right, it's.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Been almost thirty five years ago. Right, it's crazy. It's crazy.
- 33:14Speaker 3: I was thinking about that when I was putting this together,
- 33:15Speaker 3: because some songs, continuing the aside, sometimes some songs get
- 33:19Speaker 3: so baked into a cultural zeitgeist that I wonder if
- 33:23Speaker 3: it ever detaches from that, like as the Rolling Stones
- 33:26Speaker 3: start Me Up ever really recovered from being the Microsoft song,
- 33:30Speaker 3: Like I can't listen to it normally, Like every time
- 33:31Speaker 3: I hear it, I'm like, oh, Windows ninety five, you know,
- 33:33Speaker 3: it's like I can't get it out of my head.
- 33:35Speaker 3: Of a certain age, I guess people older than me
- 33:36Speaker 3: may not get that. I don't know, but some songs
- 33:38Speaker 3: are just baked into the thing that there that they
- 33:41Speaker 3: were most known for. And certainly when I think of
- 33:43Speaker 3: this song right away, it's like such a big part
- 33:45Speaker 3: of the Clinton I mean, even if you didn't like
- 33:47Speaker 3: or know that, I mean, it's just such a big
- 33:48Speaker 3: part of his campaign.
- 33:49Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah. And and like you say, that's now,
- 33:53Speaker 4: that's been way longer.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy to think it.
- 33:56Speaker 4: Though, then the song was old when it was used
- 33:59Speaker 4: for that, so it's it's pretty amazing. But anyway, yes,
- 34:03Speaker 4: I mean, you have to look for tomorrow. You you
- 34:05Speaker 4: want to have a balance. Yes, you want to live
- 34:09Speaker 4: for today, but also you have to think about tomorrow
- 34:13Speaker 4: if you want to make the most of it. And
- 34:16Speaker 4: and so I think finding the right balance. You know,
- 34:19Speaker 4: if you if you have debt, you've got to buckle
- 34:21Speaker 4: down and pay that off and break that consumer debt cycle. Yeah,
- 34:27Speaker 4: you just have to do that or you'll never make
- 34:29Speaker 4: any headway. But you know, you have to live for
- 34:34Speaker 4: today too. That's why when you're when you're creating a
- 34:39Speaker 4: financial plan, you need to think, Okay, what do I
- 34:42Speaker 4: want to achieve not just tomorrow but today, and how
- 34:45Speaker 4: do I balance those things out? And we've talked about
- 34:48Speaker 4: it a little bit before with the fifty thirty twenty budgeting.
- 34:52Speaker 4: You know where twenty percent of your money is towards
- 34:55Speaker 4: saving his investment, fifty percent is towards the needs that
- 34:59Speaker 4: you have to spend money on shelter, food, and et cetera.
- 35:03Speaker 4: At least thirty percent that you can do with whatever
- 35:05Speaker 4: you want to live today. You know, if you can
- 35:08Speaker 4: get yourself out of debt and then focus on a
- 35:11Speaker 4: plan like that something that looks similar to that, you
- 35:14Speaker 4: can find a balance there where you're not giving up
- 35:17Speaker 4: all of today, but yet you're going to be taking
- 35:19Speaker 4: care of tomorrow. And I think that's important.
