Three Key Tips to Financial Retirement Success

No matter if you have millions of dollars saved up for retirement or very little, many of us worry about our retirement years. There are keys to retirement success but nothing is simply black and white.

Each one of us needs to assess our own situation, make changes along the way and be flexible when unexpected setbacks arise. For those with a financial advisor, it’s wrong to just step back and hope he or she is doing the right thing managing your investments.

You have a lifetime of earnings and hopefully a large savings, it’s easy to get comfortable and expect a financially secure retirement, particularly if you believe you are working with a reliable, financial advisor. Well don’t be so sure.

Bryan S. Slovon is both founder and CEO of Stuart Financial Group in Greenbelt, Maryland and he encourages each of us to take charge of our financial well being to ensure a financial retirement success.

Slovan says, “Life is rarely that simple or black-and-white and, unfortunately, neither is the financial realm. It’s worth reflecting on where your advisor is coming from,. If they are not fully independent – as in not working for a large institution – their advice may be biased toward sales.”

He continues, “Further complicating matters are various professionals in the financial industry. Whether or not a professional means well, the fact remains that many are actually trying to sell products.”

Slovon offers three key tips for financial wellness and hopes it leads to financial retirement success for us all.

1) Audit your current and future expenses; spell out your plan. If you don’t have a plan for your money then you’re just hoping for things to work out. You can do better than that, even though changes in your plan will likely occur at some point. The most basic aspect of a financial plan includes understanding your current budget, which could be compared to expenses expected in the future. The more technical side of things, such as how to save on taxes and make your money go further, would benefit from analysis by a truly independent financial advisor.

2) Listen to your doctor – so to speak. If you want to enjoy your golden years, good health is arguably the most important step – and it’s cost-effective. He states, “More specifically, doctors often tell patients that they can be of service only in as much as patients are doing their part for good health. A healthy diet, exercise, regular doctor’s visits, etc. are necessary. These things help provide good health. A similar kind of vigilance is required if you want to fully enjoy your money in retirement.”

3) Focus on your taxes, and perhaps tax-favored investments. An important part of understanding your budget, and making it work better for you, is getting reliable professional analysis on your tax situation. You may be paying much more than is necessary. If you are expecting to retire in the near future, you may especially benefit from analysis of your tax budget.

Slovon continues, “Most of us give our lives to our work and families our entire adult lives. If you’re nearing or in retirement, it’s time to focus on you. That means you’ll need at least some professional financial help. However, you are the best person to oversee your own economic fate.”

In closing he says, “Perhaps the arithmetic of personal wealth should be much simpler, but like it or not, the rules of economics are riddled with fine print, unexpected or inadequately explained conditions, and loopholes.”

So as you can see, it’s ultimately each of us who needs to be our own best financial advocate. Although you may need a team of professionals such as a CPA, financial advisor, lawyer, etc…, don’t forget to stay involved all along the way. You know the saying, “You snooze, you lose.” Make sure that doesn’t apply to you and stay on the right path for your own personal well-being and financial retirement success.

If you have questions or actively looking for a qualified financial advisor to help with your financial retirement plans, contact The Life of Luxury and we can refer you to a financial professional in your local area.

DST 1031 Exchange Property – Three Reasons to Consider It

Owning rental properties can be very frustrating. Many real estate investors are sick and tired of the hassle of dealing with tenants, trash, toilets and numerous other frustrations that owning and managing apartments, homes and commercial properties bring.

Many real estate investors are now searching for a 1031 exchange property so they can leave the numerous headaches of property management behind them.

Property prices are definitely up and continue to rise, especially in highly desirable markets like New York and California. With higher selling prices comes the issue of capital gains. So investors are looking for a viable replacement property so they can possible use the section 1031 exchange to defer their pending capital gains taxes.

Dwight Kay is the founder and CEO of Kay Properties and Investments, LLC (KPI). The company’s website is www.kpi1031.com Dwight say, “Many of our clients had previously never heard of DST properties and how they can be used as 1031 exchange replacement properties.”

One intriguing option that 1031 exchange investors should be aware of is utilizing a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) 1031 replacement property. But don’t worry, this program is not just for properties located in the state of Delaware. Mr. Kay explains his firm’s clients and properties cover all 50 states.

Dwight continues, “Whether it be, for example, a Costco in Utah, a Walgreens in New Jersey, a CVS in Florida, or a 300 unit multifamily apartment property in Texas, our clients are able to invest from as little as $100,000 to over $5,000,000 via a 1031 exchange into our Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) properties.

Now curious what DST 1031 replacement property is? A 1031 exchange allows a person to defer their capital-gains taxes on a property sale, if they actually reinvest the proceeds in what is called a “like-kind” property. These properties can include apartment buildings, vacant land, farmland, office buildings and warehouses, plus other types of properties. A key issue is the seller only has 45 days to identify what property they are going to exchange into.

Kay believes in diversification. He says many real estate investors that he deals with are at a point in their life where they want to diversify their real estate holdings. He said, “Although diversification does not guarantee profit or guarantee against loss, they realize having a large portion of their net worth in a sin.”

If you are looking to sell a property and maybe diversify your holdings, a DST 1031 exchange property replacement property may be worth looking into.

Live Your Life The Way You Want. How?

Ever heard of the 4% rule? That’s when you take 4% out of your savings during the first year of your retirement. Then each following year, take that same amount plus an adjustment for inflation. The goal is to live off that amount for a minimum of three decades and live your life the way you want.

But that simple 4% rule may not be such a good guideline anymore. Although it was created back in the 1990’s by William Bengen, who was a California financial planner, it has morphed over the years by other analysts adding their own, personal spin.

Dave Lopez is a financial advisor and mathematics and computer science major. Lopez utilizes his analytical skills to solve retirement challenges. He was quoted, “Unfortunately, the kind of money retirees want to spend each year for a comfortable lifestyle tends to be about $60,000, which means someone’s nest egg would have to be $1.5 million for that rate of withdrawal to sustain for 25 years.”

So the real issue is that millions of retirees won’t have the income they really desire during retirement. The frustration grows and causes many to think they need to work forever just to survive or live your life the way you want.

As the founder of ILG Financial, Mr. Lopez offers his thoughts for alternate game plan to help you navigate the retirement years so you can live your life comfortably.

• Consider retiring early and working the job you’ve always wanted. The model frequently followed by retired government workers can be replicated by millions of other retirees. You don’t need a $1.5 million nest egg when you combine Social Security with a smaller withdrawal amount and a fun job earning $20,000 a year. Retirees can be creative in how they earn this “fun money.”

• Remember, Social Security is a welfare program. Before President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in 1935, seniors worked. America was an agrarian culture, and many who were in their 60s and 70s usually continued duties on the family farm, albeit handling lighter tasks. Social Security is essentially a Socialist idea. A response to the Great Depression, its purpose was to move out older workers in favor of employing younger Americans, but times have changed.

• No pension? – Create your own. The days of working 30 years for a single company and collecting a sizeable pension are mostly over. This means retirees need to get creative and rely on other sources of income, including IRAs and strategies for annuities – effectively creating their own “pension.” Annuities are contracts with insurance companies. The contracts, which can be funded with either a lump sum or through regular payments, are designed as financial vehicles for retirement purposes. The money used to fund the contract grows tax-deferred. Unlike other tax advantaged retirement programs, there are no contribution limits on annuities.

• Consider lifestyle changes. Through the distribution years, you should consider moving to a place where the cost of living is cheaper than major metropolitan areas. Simply put, you’ll want your money to go further. Take a play from younger folks who are cutting their cable in favor of only Wi-Fi access. Learn how to cook delicious meals on a budget. For many, learning how to make one’s money work better for them, rather than working for their money, is a preferable lifestyle.

• You don’t have to remain stuck in your “earning” job. “The U.S. government is the biggest employer in the world, and I work with many of its employees,” he says. “They usually have high-stress jobs and usually want to retire as early as possible and, while leaning on their pension, start working on their own terms as government contractors.”

Lopez adds, “Of course, there are additional sources of income during retirement, such as social security, but the program may not survive the coming decades. And, there are additional costs of retirement, including legacy interests and the likelihood of needing long-term medical care.”

Do You Desire A Life of Luxury? New Luxury Survey Tells All

So what do Americans desire? Most of us dream of extravagant things and living a life of luxury, with unlimited wealth to do as we please. Method Fitness conducted a recent, luxury survey of 1,000 people in the U.S. to better understand their ultimate luxuries.

Although it’s no surprise that we all want to enjoy luxury goods and services, the luxury survey also identifies most people don’t feel they will ever attain their dream items. An example, is over half the respondents think have a personal trainer is a luxury, but just 36% feel they can afford one at some point.

We hear that today’s younger generation is less concerned with wealth and name-brand luxury products, but the luxury survey showed otherwise. Between the age of 18 and 24, 60% or people stated they would buy luxury items. That percentage drops with age. For the over 55 year category, just 36% said they would purchase a luxury item. Older people realize material goods are not what’s important in life as they age.

David Guzman is the CEO of Method Fitness, which is a personal training supplier company. He was quoted, “Most folks just want a taste of what it feels like to be pampered, to be catered to, to feel important.”

Below are the interesting results of the luxury survey. Do the results match your wish list?

Top 10 Ultimate Luxuries:
1. Rolls Royce
2. Personal Chef
3. Beachfront Home in Hawaii
4. Rolex watch
5. Tiffany diamonds / jewelry
6. Personal driver
7. Bentley
8. Mansion in Beverly Hills
9. Porsche
10. Jaguar
11. Cartier diamonds / watch / jewelry
12. Beachfront home / condo in Malibu
13. Home in the South of France
14. Louis Vuitton handbag / luggage
15. Personal trainer (in home or while traveling)
16. Prada bag/luggage
17. Any diamond
18. Harry Winston diamonds/jewelry
19. Louis Vuitton shoes
20. Van Cleef & Arpels diamonds/jewelry

When naming their ultimate luxuries, American men put a Rolls Royce at the top of the list, while women opted for a personal chef, according to a national survey of 1,000 people conducted by personal training supplier Methodfitness.com.

Although viewing the list of luxury desirables, not surprisingly there are differences between men and women, both in brands as well as priority order. Some luxury items like owning a Rolls Royce, having a personal chef or driver, wearing a Rolex watch and purchasing beach front property in Hawaii are on both gender lists.

Here is the breakdown between men and women:

Top 10 Luxuries For Men:
1. Rolls Royce
2. Rolex watch
3. Beachfront Home in Hawaii
4. Tiffany diamonds / jewelry
5. Bentley
6. Porsche
7. Mansion in Beverly Hills
8. Personal Chef
9. Personal driver
10. Cartier diamonds / watch / jewelry

Top 10 Luxuries For Women:
1. Personal Chef
2. Rolls Royce
3. Beachfront Home in Hawaii
4. Personal driver
5. Tiffany diamonds / jewelry
6. Rolex watch
7. Bentley
8. Mansion in Beverly Hills
9. Jaguar
10. Porsche

Women have long been categorized as “big spenders” but men said they would spend on average $45,000 on a single luxury item. But the average for women is less than half that – at only $20,000.

When asked what luxury means to them, one respondent said “Luxury in my world is all the bills are paid at once.” Another reply was “It means I’ve made it financially. I’m rich.” Of course some people could care less about a VIP lifestyle and traveling around the world. About 25% state they could care less about adding extravagance to their lives.

43% of answers to the luxury say they treat themselves to luxury items. About 25% say they have received luxury gifts before.

David Guzman states, “We see these things in store windows and in magazines, worn by celebrities and the rich and famous in movies and on television. And despite dreaming, we think it’s not possible. But with hard work, many of these things are within our reach.”

Living a good life means different things to different people. Remember to be happy with who you are and be grateful for what you have. Isn’t that what life should be all about?
