Jim Kipp, a financial strategist, presented on strategies for building and protecting wealth. Traditional advice may be outdated and greatest threats include taxes, inflation, and market risk. Inflation especially undermines savings over time. Safe strategies include asset allocation tailored to each person's age and risk tolerance. Products like fixed indexed annuities can provide upside potential with downside protection. Proper planning is needed to avoid taxes eroding retirement savings and to create generational wealth that passes tax-free. The presentation proposed using a checklist and wealth index survey to help people make better financial decisions.
This document promotes an "anti-tax money strategy" using equity index life insurance policies. It claims these policies allow tax-free growth and withdrawals during retirement, allowing people to spend 25-46% more income compared to traditional taxed retirement plans. It discusses using the policies to reduce taxes on social security benefits and fund retirement in a way that benefits the individual rather than the government. Key risks mentioned include the small risk of an insurance company bankruptcy and that the tax benefits could potentially be eliminated in the future.
The document discusses a company called FFS that provides financial services and products to help families achieve their financial goals. It promotes FFS's business building system as a proven way for leaders to build a successful business. FFS aims to improve families' saving habits through the latest financial concepts and products. The document then outlines several problems facing Americans today such as debt, lack of savings, and retirement issues. It suggests that through FFS's services, families can gain financial security and independence.
The document discusses the benefits of using a Stretch IRA Trust to distribute inherited retirement accounts over a beneficiary's lifetime, allowing tax-deferred growth. Naming individual beneficiaries risks the IRA not being stretched, forfeiting up to 99% of potential distributions. A Stretch IRA Trust guarantees distributions are stretched according to a beneficiary's life expectancy by protecting the IRA from creditors and providing distribution instructions.
This document summarizes 10 government programs that provide benefits to wealthy individuals and corporations, including tax deductions for yacht interest payments, mortgage interest on high-value homes, rental property expenses, 50% of business meal costs, lower capital gains tax rates, elimination of estate tax for most people, ability to deduct gambling losses up to winnings, Social Security taxes only on first $118,500 of income, retirement savings incentives that mainly benefit high earners, and deductibility of tax preparation fees.
The document provides information about retirement planning including estimating retirement income needs, financing retirement through savings and purchasing service credits, and options for taking retirement benefits like partial lump sums. It discusses factors like estimating life expectancy, investing for inflation protection, and managing savings to ensure money lasts through retirement. Specific calculations and costs are given for purchasing service credits to increase monthly retirement income amounts.
Current retirement plans are failing many Americans and traditional saving methods pose new risks. Most people have lost substantial portions of their retirement savings over 10-year periods. Additionally, incomes have risen more slowly than in previous generations while costs of living and debt levels have increased. This document introduces a private retirement plan option using a proprietary life insurance policy that allows tax-free savings and withdrawals. This plan avoids problems with traditional 401k's and IRAs while providing guarantees of principal, interest rates, and lifetime income. The company offers consultations to explain how these private plans work.
Retirement Life is a cash value life insurance policy that can be used to build retirement savings in a tax-advantaged way. It provides downside protection from market losses since the cash value does not participate in downturns. Over the long run, it has outperformed mutual funds after accounting for taxes and fees. Retirement Life locks in annual gains and uses a minimum return guarantee along with upside potential pegged to stock market indexes. Policyholders can take tax-free withdrawals in retirement along with a death benefit for beneficiaries. Diversifying into Retirement Life is recommended for those seeking to retire without stock market risk.
This document discusses effective wealth transfer strategies to maximize the value passed to heirs and charities. It outlines how a wealth transfer life plan can immediately increase asset values, guarantee values free from market risk, avoid taxes, and ensure rapid transfer outside of probate. Such a plan preserves one's lifestyle, protects savings, minimizes taxes for heirs, and maximizes what is left for beneficiaries versus the IRS.
Retirement planning is important because life expectancies have increased dramatically. To maintain your current lifestyle in retirement, you will need savings equivalent to around 80% of your pre-retirement income. Aiming to save $1 million or more by retirement is a good target to beat inflation. Common rules of thumb for retirement savings include saving 15% of your income if under 35, following the "4% rule" of withdrawing 4% annually from savings adjusted for inflation, or using the "rule of 25" and multiplying your first year's expected retirement expenses by 25. The most important thing is to start saving for retirement early and consistently.
The document discusses an individual retirement account (IRA) wealth protection strategy to pass the value of an IRA to heirs while minimizing taxes. The strategy involves taking IRA distributions, funding a life insurance trust to purchase a policy, and providing estate and income tax-free life insurance proceeds to beneficiaries upon death.
Massive changes to the US tax code are set to take effect in 2013 unless Congress acts. Key changes include: 1) a new 3.8% Medicare tax on investment income for high earners; 2) a new 0.9% Medicare tax on earned income for high earners; 3) a higher 10% floor for medical expense deductions. Other changes impact capital gains tax rates, ordinary income tax rates, dividend tax rates, AMT, payroll taxes, depreciation rules, and estate/gift taxes. The changes mean higher taxes for many individuals and businesses.
The document discusses accumulating wealth over a lifetime for financial security and retirement. It notes that most savings plans are inadequate due to everyday living expenses and risks like disability, death, or economic downturns. The document advocates paying yourself first through savings and investments, and ensuring income replacement through disability and life insurance to protect your future financial potential and human life value.
In this presentation I discuss a strategy for protection significant IRA wealth. This strategy and more is available to my clients. Audio will soon be added.

For capital gains, it distinguishes long and short-term gains tax rates. Estate and gift taxes are explained along with lifetime gift/estate tax exemptions.

This document summarizes strategies for charitable planning for upper-income donors to reduce taxes. It discusses using charitable remainder trusts to avoid capital gains tax when donating appreciated assets and receive a higher annual payout. It also discusses ways to reduce the 3.8% net investment income tax, such as converting investment income that isn't subject to the tax, or shifting income to family or charities not subject to the tax through gifts or charitable vehicles like donor advised funds.
This document provides information about when to start claiming Social Security retirement benefits. It discusses that 35 years of earnings is the magic number used to calculate benefits, and that working longer can increase your monthly payment. Taking benefits as early as age 62 is possible but will result in reduced monthly payments. Waiting until full retirement age or age 70 can significantly increase your lifetime benefits. Factors like taxes, earnings limits, and spousal benefits must also be considered when deciding when to start receiving Social Security.

Most people dont know how their Social Security benefit is determined. Being unaware leads to this very common question Will working longer increase, or decrease my Social Security benefit?
Working longer, even part time, will NOT reduce your benefit. And in some cases, may increase your benefit.

The document discusses alternative strategies for retirement planning compared to traditional IRA and 401k plans. It argues that IRA and 401k plans are not optimal due to taxes owed upon withdrawal.

Multiple examples are given showing how this strategy could generate over $1 million more over 30 years compared to traditional tax-deferred plans.

#10: (Discuss Videos) Folks, prices are rising everywhere it seems. But, ask yourself this question. Are most retirees on a fixed income or a growing income. Thats right, a fixed income. So, if you need income from your IRA, inflation puts more pressure on it to perform, to not lose value to the inflation, taxes or anything else.
#11: If your income does not increase, here are the four alternatives that you are facing (Read 際際滷)
#29: Here is another alternative for developing a personal pension for you and your spouse. Here, the insurance companies, understanding your need for income, added another component to the FIAs we looked at earlier. It is called a Lifetime Income Rider. This benefit guarantees, no matter the performance of the underlying indexes, that your money will grow at a specified rate anywhere from 4% to 8% guaranteed. The value of this account may then be used to determine the amount of lifetime income you will receive and are guaranteed at a future date. What makes these Lifetime Income Riders appealing is that once the income stream is begun, that income is guaranteed for life, regardless of the performance of the underlying indexes. While Fixed Index Annuities typically have no out of pocket operating charges, this annuity charges a fee for the Lifetime Income Benefit Riders are usually about .45 to .5%, which comes out of the index account value. Another feature of using the Lifetime Income Benefit Rider is that although it guarantees a lifetime of income, unlike the immediate annuities we looked at earlier, you are not exchanging your principal for the income. In other words, at some point in time in the future, if you pass away, there may still be funds remaining in the annuity that could be passed as a lump sum to your beneficiaries.
#30: Here is another option for generating income. This is called a Laddered Income Program. Let me explain how it works. Suppose you came to me and said that you had $125,000 and that you wanted income over the next 15 years but you wanted to return your of your original deposit. If that were the case, here is one possible solution where we would purchase four different annuities.So, for the first five years you would receive income in the amount of $518 per month and then, at end of the five year period, that annuity would be exhausted.When the first annuity runs out of money at the end of the first five years, we would then begin to draw income from the second annuity for the next five years. That amount of income would be $600 per month. At the end of this five year period the second annuity would be exhausted.When the second annuity runs out of money at the end of the second five year period, we would then being to draw income from the third annuity for the next five years. That amount of income would be $695 per month. At the end of this five year period the third annuity would be exhausted. Now during this fifteen year period the fourth annuity is just sitting there. At an assumed rate of growth of 6% that annuity would grow back to the original $125,000 that was deposited. You can then start the program all over again.
