BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Pathway to Retire’s Dean Statler discusses a few strategies to protect, and grow your money, as you progress through your life.

Risk During your Accumulation Years

Waiting too long to get started is usually the number one risk.

During the 20s, many cannot save because you are learning a trade or going to college (spending your parent’s money)

During your 30s and 40s, it is even more difficult to tuck away for emergencies and retirement because these are the years that many have families, pay for college and weddings.

During your 50s and 60s usually during this time many are playing catchup or just starting to set money aside.

Many get to age 50 and realize that WOW, I better get on the ball or I will be in poverty when I retire. They finally set goals to save and accumulate and at this point, they realize that they may have waited too long to get started.

Market Corrections 

It can destroy your momentum towards your goal. In fact, in the 2008 crash, it may have taken 8-10 years to recover from your losses.

This is considered the ‘Lost Decade’ when it comes to investment. What happens if you are 60-65 years old and there is another 2008 market correction?

There are ways to mitigate that against this type of correction. The risk of not covering this risk can be devastating. You may have to stay engaged in the workforce for quite a few more years if you get caught in this situation.

Too Conservative

If you are too conservative your fund loses purchasing power to inflation.

Too Risky

It’s not what you make that matters… It is what you keep. I know a few people that dabbled in Stock Options and made a ton of money in one week, month, or quarter… Only to lose it all the next week.

Yes, it is easy to make money in the stock market, but, speaking from the school of hard knocks… It is hard to hold on to your gains even when you know what you are doing.

Taxes

It is quite easy to do your taxes on Turbo-Tax or even easy to find an H&R Block office to prepare your tax return, but if you are a business person, you really do not want someone that records history… You need someone that will chart a path to lower your tax burden.

In fact, I have piggybacked with a CPA Firm that does tax planning. They have been able to implement some IRS hidden strategies to legally save 10’s of thousands of dollars in taxes just by changing the way they paid some business expenses.

They have been able to help divert money that would have been paid as taxes and position these same dollars into a retirement plan for the business owner.

Employer Match Optimization

Employer plans are great to get your Retirement nest egg started, but unless you are receiving a match from your employer, there may be a better and more productive places to accumulate for retirement.

The simple fact that life happens means that you need options to put your money to work as hard as it can and keep it liquid for those occasional emergencies that come up.

There are a few options for this, but there are also some product options that allow you to access funds that you set aside for your tax-free retirement income, without penalty before age 60 and this gives you added flexibility.

The employee match is “free money” so use it. Above the maximum match, there may be better investments for you.
