- 1:10Speaker 3: as far as the weather goes, and had a really
- 1:12Speaker 3: nice weekend Saturday. A little more rainy yesterday than what
- 1:16Speaker 3: Saturday was, but still overall pretty nice weekend. Gorgeous morning
- 1:19Speaker 3: to kick off the week, at least so far. A
- 1:21Speaker 3: lot of sun, abundant warmth. As you're getting out there
- 1:24Speaker 3: to the car, it feels like it feels like spring
- 1:26Speaker 3: and summers finally starting to kick into gear a little
- 1:28Speaker 3: bit after May was a herky jerky for a long time.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Here to talk about the weather forecast of a different type.

- 1:39Speaker 3: Monday morning. John, How you doing this morning. I'm doing wonderful,
- 1:42Speaker 3: looking forward to our discussion this morning as always. But
- 1:45Speaker 3: how was your weekend? Everything going all right? Yeah, it
- 1:47Speaker 3: was pretty good.
- 1:48Speaker 4: We had V one hundred out to my wife's shop
- 1:51Speaker 4: both as Bridget Vines and we did a remote there
- 1:54Speaker 4: with the Department of Records and Vintage and Bonds and
- 1:57Speaker 4: that was that was a pretty pretty good time.
- 2:00Speaker 3: There's all kinds of fun things. It's really nice over
- 2:02Speaker 3: to South Charleston. Of course, you have your shop over
- 2:04Speaker 3: there with vintage and vines. The new farmers market opened
- 2:06Speaker 3: up over there. My wife and I had a chance
- 2:08Speaker 3: to go over there this weekend. Nice, really nice area.
- 2:10Speaker 3: A lot of nice stuff over there, by the way.
- 2:12Speaker 3: The strawberries they sell over there, holy cow, like some
- 2:16Speaker 3: of the best I've ever had in my life. I've
- 2:18Speaker 3: all three of us in my family have been eating
- 2:21Speaker 3: packs and packs of strawberries this weekend. They've been very good. Anyway,
- 2:24Speaker 3: it was a nice weekend. It was a nice weekend
- 2:25Speaker 3: to get out about a lot of stuff going on
- 2:26Speaker 3: around Charleston. It's just nice for the weather to finally
- 2:29Speaker 3: break and for I think folks to get out and
- 2:31Speaker 3: to start moving around just a little bit. We're taking
- 2:34Speaker 3: your phone calls this morning or your text. You can
- 2:35Speaker 3: give us a call three zero four three four five
- 2:37Speaker 3: fifty eight fifty eight three four five fifty eight fifty eight.
- 2:39Speaker 3: You can text three zerre four nonine three five five
- 2:40Speaker 3: zero zero eight three zero a four none three five
- 2:43Speaker 3: five zero zero eight. We'll be talking this morning about
- 2:45Speaker 3: a lot of different things, but we're mostly going to
- 2:47Speaker 3: be talking about some smart strategies and rules of thumbs.
- 2:51Speaker 3: You hear all types of you know, kind of slogans
- 2:53Speaker 3: and sayings and things like that when it comes to investing.
- 2:55Speaker 3: A lot of them are great advice, some of them
- 2:57Speaker 3: are situation contingent. Some of them are just saying, we're
- 3:00Speaker 3: going to find out what those things are this morning
- 3:02Speaker 3: and how they might apply to you, And the easiest
- 3:05Speaker 3: way to figure that out is to give us a
- 3:06Speaker 3: call three zero four three four five fifty eight fifty eight.
- 3:09Speaker 3: We always take look back at how the market performed
- 3:11Speaker 3: the week before, though, so more of the same. I
- 3:15Speaker 3: guess as far as the market.
- 3:16Speaker 4: For about two months now off of the bottom of
- 3:19Speaker 4: the market from the swing we had, we're still down
- 3:23Speaker 4: about three percent or so from all time highs. But
- 3:26Speaker 4: we're knocking on the door of all time highs again.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean things have just like we talked about,
- 3:33Speaker 3: even the sort of the scattershot of trade war and
- 3:38Speaker 3: no trade war, and eventually that stuff gets just gets
- 3:41Speaker 3: kind of baked in, you know.
- 3:42Speaker 4: And I think, you know, as far as that goes,
- 3:44Speaker 4: I believe it's July ninth is when they you know,
- 3:49Speaker 4: the pause is off, so we'll see what happens.
- 3:52Speaker 3: We need I think we need about eighty eight deals
- 3:54Speaker 3: for things to train together.
- 3:55Speaker 4: But I think even the expectation there is that it's
- 4:01Speaker 4: likely to be paused again. So we'll see what happens.
- 4:04Speaker 3: But it's more like a mouse and mouse game than
- 4:06Speaker 3: a cat and mouse game. It seems like, well, like
- 4:09Speaker 3: you know, there could be some volatility around that.
- 4:12Speaker 4: Who really knows, but that is that is kind of
- 4:17Speaker 4: the thing that's out there that I think is keeping
- 4:19Speaker 4: the lid on the market. Earnings are good, Earnings are
- 4:23Speaker 4: up about twelve and a half percent over the quarter.
- 4:27Speaker 4: The expectation of earnings this year are are pretty solid,
- 4:30Speaker 4: so you know, that gives you a good background for
- 4:33Speaker 4: the market to make progress. We just have that that
- 4:38Speaker 4: issue looming out there that nobody really knows how it's
- 4:41Speaker 4: going to break yet.
- 4:42Speaker 3: It seems like some of the pressure has been purposely
- 4:44Speaker 3: taken off from the administration to get the market back
- 4:47Speaker 3: up to speed a little bit. And if you learn
- 4:50Speaker 3: any lessons from that, maybe you eventually just say, okay,
- 4:52Speaker 3: well let's just get back to where we were right
- 4:55Speaker 3: because it was pretty good, honestly. So I guess we'll see,
- 4:58Speaker 3: we'll see how those things shake out. But it's just
- 5:00Speaker 3: like you predicted, Like a lot of folks talked about, Yeah,
- 5:03Speaker 3: there were some turmoil things that are going on, and
- 5:05Speaker 3: who knows how this stuff is going to settle down.
- 5:07Speaker 3: But the thing is that's different than planning for your retirement.
- 5:10Speaker 3: All of that other stuff that's in the headlines and
- 5:12Speaker 3: all that other stuff that's turmoil. There's a backdrop to it,
- 5:15Speaker 3: and there's strategies you might need to deploy, and there's
- 5:17Speaker 3: things you need to pay attention to. But in the
- 5:19Speaker 3: bottom line is if there's ability for you to make
- 5:23Speaker 3: amends during that to help during your retirement. If people
- 5:25Speaker 3: made the right moves during the calamity of the month's previous,
- 5:29Speaker 3: they ended up being in pretty decent shape right now,
- 5:32Speaker 3: you know. I mean, there's you just have to be
- 5:34Speaker 3: smart about these things and not be knee jerk.
- 5:37Speaker 4: Well I don't know about you, but I don't remember
- 5:39Speaker 4: a time where there wasn't news. Right, There's always something
- 5:44Speaker 4: to talk about, there's always something to worry about, and
- 5:47Speaker 4: the market deals with that. And if you look at
- 5:51Speaker 4: a chart, finds higher highs pretty regularly, so you know
- 5:56Speaker 4: you will have downturns every now and then. But if
- 5:59Speaker 4: you focus on what you can control. Hey, i'm living
- 6:02Speaker 4: below my means, I'm creating saving some investment constantly. You're
- 6:06Speaker 4: going to move towards your goals. Over time, you're gonna
- 6:08Speaker 4: be better off than those who don't make those decisions.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Even my wife, who is a natural pessimist and has
- 6:13Speaker 3: like some financial interests of her own from before we
- 6:16Speaker 3: were married, has been a very doom and gloom, and
- 6:19Speaker 3: so I think on my advice. I told her, I said,
- 6:21Speaker 3: just stop looking, don't pay attention, just go away for
- 6:24Speaker 3: a while, and then one of these days you'll be like, oh,
- 6:25Speaker 3: I better check that again and see, and you're gonna
- 6:27Speaker 3: be surprised. That happened recently because she checked again for
- 6:30Speaker 3: the first time and lost. She's like, hey, things aren't
- 6:31Speaker 3: as bad as that what they were. They actually look
- 6:33Speaker 3: pretty decent. I'm like, yeah, I mean, just wait for
- 6:35Speaker 3: a little while.
- 6:36Speaker 5: Man.
- 6:37Speaker 4: A lot of times too, you see a stock and
- 6:38Speaker 4: it's down and it looks stagnant, But oftentimes they pay dividends.
- 6:43Speaker 5: Right.
- 6:43Speaker 3: That's the other thing too, Right.
- 6:45Speaker 4: Before long, those dividends start to start to really add up.
- 6:49Speaker 4: So you know, there's lots of different ways. It's not
- 6:52Speaker 4: just the capital appreciation but it's also the income that
- 6:55Speaker 4: those investments can potentially produce as well.
- 6:58Speaker 3: So the bottom line is, as you listen to this show,
- 7:00Speaker 3: so you know, we talk about a lot of different things.
- 7:01Speaker 3: John tries to focus mostly on strategies that's going to
- 7:04Speaker 3: help you to retire right and the tried and trude
- 7:06Speaker 3: methods that go in behind that. And I think that
- 7:09Speaker 3: the proof is in the putting those things work out.
- 7:10Speaker 3: We touch on the headlines things because that's what everybody does,
- 7:13Speaker 3: but mostly it's to try to we touch on him
- 7:15Speaker 3: to tell you don't worry about it, you know. I mean,
- 7:17Speaker 3: it could affect other parts of your life. We're not
- 7:19Speaker 3: saying don't worry about it in general. You never know.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I mean, that's not for us to say. But as
- 7:23Speaker 3: far as planning for your retirement, there's opportunity. There's ways
- 7:27Speaker 3: to take advantage of these things, or at least to
- 7:29Speaker 3: be safe and to come out of things. Okay. You
- 7:31Speaker 3: just have to pay attention to that and not worry
- 7:33Speaker 3: so much about exactly what the headline says. You know
- 7:35Speaker 3: what it reminds me of. I was thinking about this
- 7:37Speaker 3: driving in this morning because I have this conversation with
- 7:39Speaker 3: my wife every time there's a storm in the forecast,
- 7:42Speaker 3: storm's going to come through, it's going to be lightning,
- 7:46Speaker 3: there's a thunderstorm warning, all these things. All of these
- 7:48Speaker 3: things existed when I was a kid, you know. I mean,
- 7:51Speaker 3: maybe we have better forecasting now, you know, But as
- 7:53Speaker 3: far as it's going to storm, there's a thunderstorm warning
- 7:56Speaker 3: coming through. We're getting reports that where the storm came
- 7:59Speaker 3: through before, there was a hob winds. All of this
- 8:01Speaker 3: stuff existed when I was a kid. Every single one
- 8:03Speaker 3: of these things existed when I was a kid. For
- 8:05Speaker 3: some reason, now though, it is like emergency preparedness one
- 8:08Speaker 3: oh one every single time a storm gets ready to
- 8:10Speaker 3: come through town. And not that there's necessarily anything wrong
- 8:13Speaker 3: with that. I mean, it's good to be prepared or
- 8:15Speaker 3: whatever it might be. But man, sometimes a storm's just
- 8:17Speaker 3: a storm. Sometimes it's just like I went through hundreds
- 8:20Speaker 3: of these growing up. We've gone through thousands of them
- 8:22Speaker 3: as grown people. Sometimes you need to be prepared, but
- 8:25Speaker 3: sometimes the storm's just a storm. Sometimes with the economy,
- 8:28Speaker 3: a story's just a story. It's just it's not It
- 8:30Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily mean the end of the world on these things,
- 8:33Speaker 3: especially when you're not talking specifically about we're talking about retirement.
- 8:36Speaker 3: We're not talking about the news headlines. We're not talking
- 8:38Speaker 3: about politics, we're not talking about things like that. We're
- 8:40Speaker 3: talking about how you can retire right well.
- 8:41Speaker 4: And sometimes, you know, you hear about a storm and
- 8:45Speaker 4: they tell you to fill your bathtubs up. There's a
- 8:47Speaker 4: big blizzard coming and it doesn't happen as it had.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Or everybody buys a toilet paper and then suddenly you're
- 8:51Speaker 3: just out of toilet paper, but the weather's fine. You know,
- 8:53Speaker 3: you got to be careful about those things.
- 8:55Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, pretty much focus on what you
- 8:58Speaker 4: can control. That's the best advice that I think exists
- 9:01Speaker 4: out there. You do the best you can for yourself
- 9:04Speaker 4: and your family and those around you, and you'll move forward.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Yeah, very true. I think that there's a sage advice
- 9:11Speaker 3: that's in there, and John's willing to share some of
- 9:13Speaker 3: that with you and give us a call this morning.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Threes are a four three four five fifty eight fifty eight.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Threes are A four three four five fifty eight fifty eight.
- 9:18Speaker 3: There's a lot of things we wanted to talk about
- 9:20Speaker 3: this morning, and I like when we do this, when
- 9:21Speaker 3: we kind of dive into the in the non financial world,
- 9:25Speaker 3: it would be like the old wives tales or the
- 9:27Speaker 3: folks sayings or whatever. It might be like an apple
- 9:31Speaker 3: a day keeps a doctor away. You know what does
- 9:33Speaker 3: that really mean? You know, does it really mean if
- 9:35Speaker 3: you eat an apple a day that keeps a doctor away?
- 9:36Speaker 3: Or do you go deeper into it? Well, if you
- 9:38Speaker 3: eat an apple a day, it means that you consume
- 9:39Speaker 3: a lot of fruit. If you consume a lot of fruit,
- 9:41Speaker 3: maybe it means you're balanced, if you're dots more balanced.
- 9:43Speaker 3: You know what does it mean? How deep does it go?
- 9:45Speaker 3: And there's a lot of those things around the financial
- 9:47Speaker 3: market as well. So there's just kind of these sayings
- 9:49Speaker 3: that and these rules of thumb that we go by,
- 9:53Speaker 3: and there's a lot of those that karkall that start off.
- 9:56Speaker 3: But some things we wanted to talk about this morning is,
- 9:59Speaker 3: for example, fired minimum distributions and things along those lines
- 10:03Speaker 3: that could be a little bit confusing because the age
- 10:04Speaker 3: that starts at it is a little older. I mean,
- 10:06Speaker 3: those are that in the seventies, right.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Yes, And our MD frequently will hear that that's required
- 10:12Speaker 4: minimum distribution. That's where the government basically makes you take
- 10:18Speaker 4: distributions from your tax deferred money. I think you're four
- 10:21Speaker 4: h one k your traditional iras when you reach age
- 10:25Speaker 4: seventy three. And that's where the confusion is here lately,
- 10:28Speaker 4: because that has changed multiple times. It was seventy and
- 10:32Speaker 4: a half, and then it went to seventy two. Now
- 10:34Speaker 4: it's at seventy three. It's seventy three. You have to
- 10:38Speaker 4: start taking distributions from those tax deferred vehicles and the
- 10:43Speaker 4: tax deferred investments. So there's a calculation that's based on
- 10:47Speaker 4: life expectancy, and every year it has to be recalculated
- 10:52Speaker 4: and that money pulled out, and if you don't handle
- 10:55Speaker 4: that correctly, it's a pretty healthy tax penalty if if
- 11:00Speaker 4: you neglect taking that money out of that account. And
- 11:04Speaker 4: so it's very important to stay on top of that.
- 11:07Speaker 4: That's one of those things that you don't think about
- 11:10Speaker 4: those things as you're contributing and saving for retirement. But
- 11:15Speaker 4: that's something that's frequently missed really by those doing it
- 11:19Speaker 4: on their own, you know, they forget to take it. Well,
- 11:23Speaker 4: all of a sudden, there's a big tax penalty.
- 11:25Speaker 3: What is the date trigger there? Is that the day
- 11:27Speaker 3: you turn was, as you said, seventy three is that
- 11:31Speaker 3: or is about the end of that calendar year, by
- 11:33Speaker 3: the end of the year, okay, Yeah, so you just
- 11:36Speaker 3: have to be aware of that, okay.
- 11:38Speaker 4: And you know, sometimes people are already meeting those requirements
- 11:41Speaker 4: if they're taking income out for retirement. But you know,
- 11:45Speaker 4: let's say you have retirement income elsewhere and you have
- 11:49Speaker 4: this tax deferred money and you're not taking anything out
- 11:52Speaker 4: of it. The government forces you to take it out,
- 11:54Speaker 4: and that's one of those things that you know, a
- 11:57Speaker 4: lot of people don't like that, but you know, the
- 12:00Speaker 4: ver's got to fund the fund whatever they fund, so
- 12:04Speaker 4: they're asking you for the they're asking you for the money.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Tommy wise, does this get any tricker for winter babies,
- 12:10Speaker 3: like when the end of the year is so close
- 12:12Speaker 3: to wing your birthday is or does it not necessarily
- 12:14Speaker 3: matter because it's just a paperwork.
- 12:17Speaker 4: No, there is a date, and I don't know that
- 12:21Speaker 4: right off the top of my head. Mayra in my office,
- 12:24Speaker 4: she's the one that takes care of all the r
- 12:27Speaker 4: m ds, And like you say, it's a whole process
- 12:29Speaker 4: that we have in our office where we have spreadsheet
- 12:33Speaker 4: of everybody's birthdates and we get notified that, hey, these
- 12:36Speaker 4: folks are required to take the distribution this year, and
- 12:40Speaker 4: we assist our clients in making sure that the money
- 12:44Speaker 4: comes out when it needs to come out. Doesn't mean
- 12:47Speaker 4: you have to spend the money, you know, it just
- 12:49Speaker 4: means you have to take it out of the tax
- 12:51Speaker 4: deferred account and pay taxes on it. Frequently, if folks
- 12:55Speaker 4: haven't been taking the money out for retirement income, they'll
- 12:58Speaker 4: want to reinvest that. So let's say ten thousand dollars
- 13:03Speaker 4: has to come out of the account and there's eight
- 13:07Speaker 4: thousand dollars left after taxes. We then to take that
- 13:11Speaker 4: eight thousand and you can put that in a brokerage
- 13:13Speaker 4: account and reinvest it, and then that that pool of
- 13:17Speaker 4: money is not tax deferred anymore, so there is no
- 13:20Speaker 4: requiredment of distribution on that.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Pool of money.
- 13:24Speaker 4: So you know, everybody's situation is different, but that's one
- 13:26Speaker 4: of the things that you know if you're working with
- 13:30Speaker 4: an advisor, if you're working with us at our office,
- 13:32Speaker 4: we really do stay on top of that for you
- 13:34Speaker 4: so that you don't miss those those distributions and pay
- 13:38Speaker 4: those tax penalty.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Because a lot of the work is getting too retirement,
- 13:42Speaker 3: but there is work to be put in, like once
- 13:43Speaker 3: you're retirement, to make sure that you're dotting on your
- 13:46Speaker 3: eyes and crossing your tea's basically, I mean, you want
- 13:48Speaker 3: to make sure that you're doing all this stuff right
- 13:49Speaker 3: because you don't want to pay excess penalties or forget
- 13:51Speaker 3: about something. I mean, there's ways to go about doing
- 13:53Speaker 3: even your retirement right. Once you get there, that's great
- 13:56Speaker 3: and congratulations, but there's still things that you need to
- 13:58Speaker 3: manage and make sure that you're doing right even in
- 14:00Speaker 3: your retirement.
- 14:00Speaker 4: And that distribution requirement changes every single year because it's
- 14:05Speaker 4: a factor of your age and life expectancy. But it's
- 14:08Speaker 4: also calculated on the December thirty first value of the
- 14:12Speaker 4: previous year. Well that changes as well, so you have
- 14:16Speaker 4: different amounts that have to be taken. So it's not
- 14:19Speaker 4: as simple as saying, well, I'm going to do the
- 14:22Speaker 4: math the first year and get it set. You have
- 14:26Speaker 4: to recalculate it every single year.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Man See, I would be somebody that would have to
- 14:30Speaker 3: be reminded at I like setting and forgetting things, so
- 14:33Speaker 3: I would be some way that needed to be reminded
- 14:35Speaker 3: of that quite a bit of time. It kind of
- 14:37Speaker 3: related to that. The second item on kind of the
- 14:40Speaker 3: notes that you sent me was the four percent rule
- 14:42Speaker 3: or the I guess we should call it the rule
- 14:44Speaker 3: of thumb guidance. That's not necessarily necessarily rule, because it
- 14:48Speaker 3: could change for all people, for different people. But with
- 14:50Speaker 3: drawing four percent of your portfolio in year one of
- 14:53Speaker 3: your retirement and adjusting for inflation after that, is that
- 14:56Speaker 3: still a relatively good starting point? And what does that
- 14:58Speaker 3: help folks do?
- 14:59Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 14:59Speaker 4: It is is there. It was brought into question A
- 15:04Speaker 4: little bit or caution was was put around that when
- 15:08Speaker 4: interest rates were so low. When interest rates were so low,
- 15:14Speaker 4: you know, you weren't receiving any income off your bond portfolio.
- 15:18Speaker 4: So with that happens, it's harder to earn enough money
- 15:23Speaker 4: to draw that four percent off. Now that interest rates
- 15:26Speaker 4: are more normalized, the four percent rule is is is.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Back in favor a little bit, still in pretty good
- 15:33Speaker 3: shape right now. I have a caller that called in
- 15:34Speaker 3: this morning with a question for John. Caller, good afternoon
- 15:37Speaker 3: or a good morning. What's your first name?
- 15:41Speaker 2: Are you?
- 15:41Speaker 3: Yeah? What's your first name? You're on air with John Burdett. Mike, Hey, Mike,
- 15:46Speaker 3: what's your question?
- 15:48Speaker 6: I'm recently retired and I was wondering if they're I
- 15:53Speaker 6: can can I still contribute to my wroth ira? And
- 15:58Speaker 6: is there a limit of how much I can contribute
- 16:01Speaker 6: each year?
- 16:02Speaker 4: Well, to contribute to any ira, traditional or wrath, you
- 16:05Speaker 4: have to have earned income. So if you have earned
- 16:10Speaker 4: income in this tax year, you could contribute up to
- 16:15Speaker 4: eight thousand dollars. If you don't have earned income, you
- 16:20Speaker 4: can't do an ira contribution. Now, if you have traditional
- 16:26Speaker 4: money traditional four oh one k traditional ira, you could
- 16:31Speaker 4: possibly convert some of that to a wroth and pay
- 16:34Speaker 4: tax on it, but you're not necessarily you wouldn't be
- 16:37Speaker 4: putting additional money in if you don't have that earned income.
- 16:41Speaker 5: Okay, And.
- 16:46Speaker 7: If I were to make a large purchase like buy
- 16:51Speaker 7: a car, go on a vacation or whatever, well it
- 16:57Speaker 7: would probably be best to take my money out of
- 16:59Speaker 7: my brow all right, to spend on the car.
- 17:04Speaker 5: What would that be true?
- 17:06Speaker 4: Well, potentially, but there are a lot of a lot
- 17:10Speaker 4: of issues there that could come into play. You know,
- 17:15Speaker 4: a roth ira it doesn't have a require minimum distribution
- 17:18Speaker 4: in the future that that may be a reason to
- 17:22Speaker 4: preserve that a roth ira passes to the next generation
- 17:26Speaker 4: a little more tax efficiently. That could be a reason
- 17:29Speaker 4: to preserve that, so I think I think it's probably true,
- 17:35Speaker 4: but not in all cases. So you just have to
- 17:38Speaker 4: have to really think about what you want to accomplish
- 17:41Speaker 4: and when do you want to pay those taxes, because
- 17:43Speaker 4: ultimately taxes will be paid on on that tax TOFIR money,
- 17:47Speaker 4: whether it's you or your beneficiaries.
- 17:51Speaker 7: Okay, okay, all right, thanks for calling Mike.
- 17:56Speaker 3: Appreciate that phone call. If you have a follow up
- 17:58Speaker 3: question or if you want to uh to find out
- 17:59Speaker 3: an more information, you can give John a call phone number,
- 18:02Speaker 3: four fourth Avenue Financials three zero four seven four six
- 18:04Speaker 3: seven nine seven seven three zero four seven four six
- 18:06Speaker 3: seven nine seven seven lokate. It was s'eveny Court Street
- 18:08Speaker 3: right here in downtown Charles and across from the Town
- 18:10Speaker 3: Center mall. You can find them over there very easily.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Before we go to the break, we do have one
- 18:14Speaker 3: question that is sort of along the same lines of
- 18:17Speaker 3: what Mike was coming in on from the three zero
- 18:18Speaker 3: four six two eight. If I delay Social Security until
- 18:21Speaker 3: seventy how do I cover income in the meantime without
- 18:23Speaker 3: draining my retirement too fast?
- 18:27Speaker 4: Yes, well, that's an issue. That's why a lot of
- 18:30Speaker 4: folks don't wait until seventy. You know, when you wait,
- 18:35Speaker 4: it's about eight percent a year you get extra in
- 18:37Speaker 4: your Social Security check. But you also have to keep
- 18:41Speaker 4: in mind they're not giving you eight percent more money.
- 18:44Speaker 4: They are a cash flow every month, but it's over
- 18:47Speaker 4: a year less of life, and so when you look
- 18:51Speaker 4: at that calculation, the actual money coming to you, you
- 18:54Speaker 4: have to live beyond a certain age before you break even.
- 18:58Speaker 4: So oftentimes it mathematically might not make sense necessarily to wait.
- 19:04Speaker 4: In some situations, you really have to evaluate your individual situation,
- 19:09Speaker 4: and oftentimes that includes your health, you know, you and
- 19:14Speaker 4: your life expectancy. You know, if you are are extremely
- 19:19Speaker 4: healthy and your parents live to be one hundred, then yes,
- 19:22Speaker 4: maybe it waits makes sense to wait, But if not,
- 19:27Speaker 4: that break even point might not be might be out
- 19:31Speaker 4: there too far to warrant doing that. So it's an
- 19:34Speaker 4: individual situation. There again, you know so many of these
- 19:38Speaker 4: things you read about articles and all these rules of thumb,
- 19:45Speaker 4: all this guidance, but really it comes down to the
- 19:48Speaker 4: individual situation.
- 19:49Speaker 3: It's an insightful question, and you may need to get
- 19:51Speaker 3: a little bit more into the details that have that
- 19:54Speaker 3: answered a little bit better for you. And again you
- 19:56Speaker 3: can give John a caut Fourth Avenue Financial three zer

- 22:51Speaker 3: fourth Avenue Financial, uh doling out retirement advice for you.
- 22:55Speaker 3: Don has called in this morning. He has a question
- 22:57Speaker 3: for John from Fourth Avenue Financial. Don, Good morning, how
- 22:59Speaker 3: you doing this morning?
- 23:01Speaker 10: I'm doing great. How are you doing today?
- 23:02Speaker 3: Doing very well? Thanks for listening and calling in. What's
- 23:04Speaker 3: your question for John?
- 23:06Speaker 10: Okay, it's just kind of a two parter. But first
- 23:08Speaker 10: I was curious. I'm getting ready to roll over I
- 23:10Speaker 10: became disabled, so I'm getting ready to roll over my
- 23:13Speaker 10: four one k into my SWAB account. Is there any
- 23:18Speaker 10: way I can roll over a portion of it to
- 23:21Speaker 10: traditional and a portion of it to a roth.
- 23:26Speaker 4: Well not probably not in the same transaction. I mean,
- 23:30Speaker 4: once you do that, you're you're basically converting to a wroth.
- 23:36Speaker 4: So you know it has to it has to move
- 23:40Speaker 4: like the like. So the tax treatment. You can't elect
- 23:45Speaker 4: the tax treatment after the fact because you know you've
- 23:50Speaker 4: never paid tax on that money, so that process of
- 23:52Speaker 4: moving it to a wroth will become a taxable event.
- 23:59Speaker 4: But but you you would have to do a conversion.
- 24:01Speaker 4: And you can do a conversion at any.
- 24:03Speaker 10: Time to me and my account and then send it
- 24:09Speaker 10: to the SCHWAB. I couldn't do that either.
- 24:11Speaker 4: Could I No, I mean you you need to roll it.
- 24:18Speaker 4: If you're going to roll it over into your traditional ira,
- 24:20Speaker 4: you would roll it to your traditional ira, and then
- 24:23Speaker 4: you can elect to convert to a roth whatever portion
- 24:27Speaker 4: of it you want each year. Oh okay, But but
- 24:31Speaker 4: that that transaction would be taxable, so so you know
- 24:35Speaker 4: a lot of times folks will want to stage those
- 24:39Speaker 4: conversions over time so you're not you know, bumping yourself
- 24:44Speaker 4: into higher tax brackets that sort of thing.
- 24:47Speaker 10: Right, Okay. Now, the other part of question is because
- 24:49Speaker 10: I understand the way I understand it is if I
- 24:53Speaker 10: convert to a roth ira, I have a five year
- 24:57Speaker 10: waiting period before I can withdraw any any tax free. Yes, well,
- 25:04Speaker 10: that that's that's that's the dilemma right there, because I mean,
- 25:06Speaker 10: because I'm one passive income.
- 25:08Speaker 4: Right right, Well, that's that's where you may not want
- 25:12Speaker 4: to convert the whole thing, and you might have to
- 25:15Speaker 4: have to sit down and do a little do a
- 25:17Speaker 4: little math, or you could do if you give us
- 25:19Speaker 4: a call and come into the office and sit down
- 25:21Speaker 4: and I could help you with your with your transaction.
- 25:24Speaker 4: Of course I don't use schwab.
- 25:28Speaker 10: Of course. Yeah, okay, But the portion I wanted to
- 25:31Speaker 10: roll over for a roth. Is is not really something
- 25:34Speaker 10: I'm going to want to take money out of. I'm
- 25:36Speaker 10: really doing that for my grandkids, say twenty years from now.
- 25:40Speaker 4: Yes, because because there again that that WROTH, it will
- 25:44Speaker 4: grow tax deferred and then it's tax free at the
- 25:47Speaker 4: end and there's no required venomum distribution that sort of thing.
- 25:50Speaker 4: So it's uh, okay, you know, there are advantages to
- 25:54Speaker 4: it potentially if it if it meets the you know,
- 25:57Speaker 4: goals that you have, it matches up correctly.
- 26:01Speaker 10: Okay, So there's no way to get around a five
- 26:03Speaker 10: year rule then that, I mean not even before I've disabled. Now,
- 26:07Speaker 10: there's still no way to get around that five year
- 26:10Speaker 10: I don't.
- 26:11Speaker 4: I don't believe. So if you want to call the office,
- 26:15Speaker 4: uh I can. I can check and see if there
- 26:16Speaker 4: are any loopholes on that, but I don't believe.
- 26:19Speaker 5: So okay, all right, Well, well thank you for your healthfare.
- 26:22Speaker 4: John, all right, I appreciate it, Take care, Don appreciate
- 26:25Speaker 4: the call.
- 26:25Speaker 3: Don thank you very much. That phone line for fourth
- 26:27Speaker 3: Avenue Financial three es are A four seven four six
- 26:29Speaker 3: seven nine seven seven. Threes are four seven four six
- 26:31Speaker 3: seven nine seven seven got another caller on the air,
- 26:33Speaker 3: this one. Good morning. Now, what's your first name?
- 26:36Speaker 6: Bob?
- 26:36Speaker 3: Hey, Bob, good morning. What's your question for John?
- 26:40Speaker 11: I'm curious what the current status of capital gains taxes are.
- 26:44Speaker 11: I have very little, uh, earned or taxable income, and
- 26:52Speaker 11: it's actually dropping. I mean that was, say twenty twenty
- 26:56Speaker 11: four was under one hundred thousand dollars of taxable income.
- 26:59Speaker 11: This year it's going to be about half that. And
- 27:02Speaker 11: I've got a lot of potential capital gains and was
- 27:07Speaker 11: wondering what the current status of capital gains taxes are.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Well, uh, of course that gets in the tax advice.
- 27:16Speaker 4: So I need to be careful when I tread here,
- 27:20Speaker 4: because you know, that is a that is a different,
- 27:24Speaker 4: different thing.
- 27:24Speaker 11: About capital gain situation as it exists today and what
- 27:29Speaker 11: may or what's in the works for capital gains.
- 27:32Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know right now there are basically three
- 27:36Speaker 4: capital gains brackets zero percent, fifteen percent, and twenty percent.
- 27:42Speaker 4: You know, if if you're married, basically sixty four thousand,
- 27:48Speaker 4: seven point fifty one is is where the fifteen bracket starts,
- 27:53Speaker 4: and that goes all the way up to five hundred
- 27:55Speaker 4: and sixty six, seven hundred dollars. So you know, the
- 27:59Speaker 4: vast majority of people are are paying capital gains at
- 28:03Speaker 4: that fifteen percent tax rate. Now, as far as what
- 28:10Speaker 4: happens in the future with tax rates, you're your guess.
- 28:12Speaker 3: This is good as mind.
- 28:13Speaker 4: I mean, I think the likelihood is that that in
- 28:21Speaker 4: the current political environment, they're probably not going to go up.
- 28:26Speaker 4: But that's just a guess.
- 28:28Speaker 3: You know, how.
- 28:30Speaker 4: How the sausage gets made in Washington. Sometimes things happen
- 28:33Speaker 4: you don't expect.
- 28:36Speaker 11: Well, I didn't. I didn't know if this administration had
- 28:39Speaker 11: floated anything about maybe eliminating capital gains.
- 28:42Speaker 4: Well, there are lots of things floated, but getting it
- 28:45Speaker 4: done is It's not something I would I would bank on,
- 28:50Speaker 4: to be honest with you. But that's that's, you know,
- 28:53Speaker 4: certainly not a you would need a crystal ball to
- 28:56Speaker 4: know that. I don't think that. I don't see that changing,
- 29:02Speaker 4: you know, anytime soon.
- 29:04Speaker 11: So so the current cutoff to go from the fifteen
- 29:08Speaker 11: to what'd you say, thirty twenty?
- 29:12Speaker 4: Oh okay, yeah, twenty. So that's why a lot of folks,
- 29:16Speaker 4: you know, particularly.
- 29:18Speaker 11: People that have or thirty five did it?
- 29:21Speaker 4: Yes, it's yeah, but it's been these these have been
- 29:24Speaker 4: the rates for quite a while.
- 29:26Speaker 3: But that's why when you.
- 29:29Speaker 4: Hear just kind of an aside, when you hear you know,
- 29:33Speaker 4: Warren Buffett or all these people you know, talking about
- 29:36Speaker 4: how they pay less tax than the than their you know,
- 29:40Speaker 4: secretary for instance, it's it's not because they pay less
- 29:43Speaker 4: dollars out, but most of their income is taken via
- 29:47Speaker 4: capital gain versus versus taxable income. So they're paying twenty
- 29:52Speaker 4: percent rather than you know, twenty five or twenty two
- 29:55Speaker 4: or twenty eight percent that a person drawing his salary
- 29:59Speaker 4: min right.
- 30:03Speaker 11: And didn't There used to be a time frame for
- 30:05Speaker 11: capital gains.
- 30:07Speaker 4: Mmm, what do you mean.
- 30:09Speaker 11: Holding your assets so long? And then it wasn't.
- 30:12Speaker 4: So yeah, there's a short yeah, short term and long term.
- 30:15Speaker 4: If you've held it over a year, it's a long
- 30:17Speaker 4: term capital gain. And that is that is the rate
- 30:20Speaker 4: that I'm that I mentioned to you. Short term it's
- 30:25Speaker 4: tax pretty much taxes income.
- 30:28Speaker 11: So so let's say I did a half a million
- 30:31Speaker 11: dollars cash in on a capital gain, that would be
- 30:34Speaker 11: a half million income that would then if I did more,
- 30:37Speaker 11: would take me to the next bracket, right.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And like I say, you know, you're getting
- 30:43Speaker 4: into an area that I certainly have not licensed to
- 30:48Speaker 4: render advice, and you know that becomes tax advice at
- 30:51Speaker 4: that point. But generally, you know, I certainly can cover
- 30:57Speaker 4: some of that as we're dealing with our investment portfolios,
- 31:01Speaker 4: all right.
- 31:02Speaker 11: And so if it's just out of curiosity, if it's
- 31:04Speaker 11: under twelve months, do you know what the brackets are
- 31:07Speaker 11: the rates?
- 31:08Speaker 4: It's tax is income at that point, it's whatever your
- 31:11Speaker 4: income rate is.
- 31:11Speaker 11: Yeah, Oh okay, all right, well, thanks, thank you very much.
- 31:15Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. Thank you very much for calling in.
- 31:17Speaker 3: That leaves a phone line open for you. Three zero
- 31:19Speaker 3: four three four five fifty eight fifty eight also got
- 31:20Speaker 3: a text question and as well to the three zero
- 31:22Speaker 3: four none three five five zeros or eight threes or
- 31:25Speaker 3: four non three five five zeros or eight This is
- 31:27Speaker 3: from the six eight one three two three. I've got
- 31:29Speaker 3: money in both traditional IRA and ROTH. How do I
- 31:33Speaker 3: know which one to draw from first?
- 31:36Speaker 4: Well, there are lots of different ways you can look
- 31:39Speaker 4: at that, and some of it depends on what do
- 31:43Speaker 4: you want to do with the money. Ultimately, what is
- 31:47Speaker 4: your current tax bracket? You know, if you are earning
- 31:51Speaker 4: a whole lot of money, uh, currently in yours for
- 31:56Speaker 4: some reason early in your retirement, maybe you have some
- 32:00Speaker 4: who knows oil and gas payments or something coming to
- 32:03Speaker 4: you for the next five years or ten years, and
- 32:05Speaker 4: it puts you in a higher tax bracket. Well, you
- 32:07Speaker 4: might not want to touch the taxable money, the traditional money,
- 32:11Speaker 4: because it will add to your taxable income where the
- 32:15Speaker 4: wroth will not. If you have a low income taxable income, well,
- 32:21Speaker 4: then it might make sense to touch the traditional because
- 32:24Speaker 4: you're paying a lower rate. So a lot of those decisions,
- 32:29Speaker 4: it's not quite black and white. It depends on the
- 32:31Speaker 4: situation that you're in. Like you say, rm ds are
- 32:35Speaker 4: going to be required one day in the traditional money,
- 32:40Speaker 4: Well that's fine. I mean, you might be taking income
- 32:44Speaker 4: from that anyway, so that's not an issue to you.
- 32:47Speaker 4: But if that's not your case, then you know, you
- 32:52Speaker 4: might want to preserve the wrath longer because it's not
- 32:55Speaker 4: doesn't have to have that requirement, and you can pass
- 32:57Speaker 4: it on to your children, for instance, a little more
- 32:59Speaker 4: tax sufficiently. So there's there's really not a right or
- 33:03Speaker 4: wrong answer to that. You know, Usually people try to
- 33:09Speaker 4: hang on to the wroth money the longest because it's
- 33:13Speaker 4: not required to be spent or distributed, right, But that's
- 33:18Speaker 4: not always the case depending on your situation.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a stage advice And like with most of
- 33:24Speaker 3: the stuff here that you get from John, and this
- 33:27Speaker 3: is why you need an expert to do this. Every
- 33:28Speaker 3: situation is different. Every person's like a fingerprint. You know,
- 33:31Speaker 3: it's going to be a little unique. And that's why
- 33:34Speaker 3: we were talking a little bit about these rules today.
- 33:36Speaker 3: There are rules that give you a kind of a
- 33:37Speaker 3: starting point, but then you have to like either tack
- 33:40Speaker 3: one way or the other based on your actual real
- 33:42Speaker 3: life situation. And then that's where John helps you with
- 33:45Speaker 3: because all these rules aren't going to fit anybody in
- 33:47Speaker 3: a cookie cother situation.
- 33:48Speaker 4: And some of these things are are It's like the
- 33:51Speaker 4: investment tools we've talked about before. It's not that they're
- 33:55Speaker 4: good or bad, it's just they have different features and
- 33:59Speaker 4: in depending on what you're trying to accomplish, that really
- 34:02Speaker 4: tells you which direction to go. And it's the same
- 34:06Speaker 4: with some of these decisions. You know, your situation really
- 34:09Speaker 4: determines it more than well, this is what you should do,
- 34:12Speaker 4: black and white, and that's the end of it.
- 34:15Speaker 3: That's a great information with John Bredept for fourth, having
- 34:17Speaker 3: a financial time for one last phone call caller, you
- 34:20Speaker 3: are on the air. What's your first name?
- 34:22Speaker 5: My name is Joe.
- 34:23Speaker 3: Go ahead, Joe. You have about about a minute or so.
- 34:25Speaker 5: Okay. My quick question was just talking to John about
- 34:28Speaker 5: ross and roll rollovers. What's the advantage to if I
- 34:35Speaker 5: want to roll over? If I'm getting what I have
- 34:38Speaker 5: taken the minimum distributions, and I think that's close.
- 34:41Speaker 4: To seventy seventy three.
- 34:43Speaker 5: Seventy three so I'm sixty eight, So if I want
- 34:48Speaker 5: to start doing some conversions, if I could start doing
- 34:53Speaker 5: some conversions and I just pay the tax on just
- 34:55Speaker 5: in my regular tax bracket converting or traditional to ross,
- 34:59Speaker 5: is that correct?
- 35:00Speaker 3: Yes?
- 35:01Speaker 5: Okay. Then the next question is if I get to
- 35:04Speaker 5: I have to take the minimum distributions, can I make
- 35:06Speaker 5: that the minimum distversion minimum distribution or roll over to
- 35:10Speaker 5: a roll.
- 35:14Speaker 4: I don't believe so no. Now you can do as
- 35:18Speaker 4: what's called a QDC where you can send that money,
- 35:24Speaker 4: for instance, to a charity, a church or a charity
- 35:27Speaker 4: or something like that and avoid the taxation on it.
- 35:32Speaker 4: But the r m D has to be taken out
- 35:34Speaker 4: of the traditional so you're not really converting the.
- 35:37Speaker 5: The r m D. So once I take it out,
- 35:40Speaker 5: if I wanted to reinvest and it's going to be taxable,
- 35:42Speaker 5: I couldn't. I couldn't convert it to a roll at
- 35:44Speaker 5: that time. It has to be basically taxable money.
- 35:47Speaker 4: Right, you could still convert part of that, but you
- 35:51Speaker 4: would still have an r m D calculation on the
- 35:53Speaker 4: money that's in the traditional.
- 35:55Speaker 5: You'd have to take that and roll it over to
- 35:57Speaker 5: something else or take it to cash out of it. Yes,
- 36:00Speaker 5: all right, yes, and I based what's the distributions like
- 36:05Speaker 5: you when they started doing as that like ten percent?
- 36:08Speaker 4: What do you mean that? No, it ith an RMD. There,
- 36:14Speaker 4: there's a formula based on your age, but it starts
- 36:17Speaker 4: a little short of four percent, and as you get
- 36:19Speaker 4: older it keeps rising.
- 36:22Speaker 5: Okay, and the first time you have to take it
- 36:24Speaker 5: is at age seventy seventy three. Yeah, appreciate you, John,
