He was 46. Healthy. Successful. Everyone described him as “solid.”

He built a great life for his family — a business, a home, investments and he thought that'd be enough to take care of them.

But he never got around to putting a plan in place for if something suddenly took him from them.

No Last Will & Testament
No Trust to easily execute his Will
No life insurance (not even an inexpensive Term policy)

When he passed unexpectedly, his wife was left trying to grieve, while at the same time having to figure out how to access accounts, pay the mortgage, and keep the family business running.

Everything he worked so hard to build, was suddenly locked behind red tape and court paperwork. This was all easily avoidable.

I’ve seen this story too many times.
It’s never about how much someone has — it’s about how much they protected.

Death is always unexpected.
Planning for it isn’t.

A will. A trust. The right amount of life insurance.
Those aren’t just protective financial tools — they’re acts of love. ❤️

Legacy isn’t what you build. It’s what you protect.

In this conversation we discuss how to avoid being surprised by your 401K or IRA not lasting you through retirement.

Do you periodically look at your 401K or IRA statement, your eyes quickly track to the balance number and then you move on thinking, "that should make retirement doable...... right?"

Many people as they approach retirement years are met with the concern of running out of money before they run out of life.

Sounds a little harsh to think about, but the reality of that happening is harsh.

If you're heavily invested in a 401K or IRA (ROTH or otherwise) and that's your primary plan, you need to make sure you're positioned so a possible downturn in the market (anyone remember 2000-2003?) doesn't erode your retirement account value.

When people ask me what I'm doing (career wise) now, simply telling them I'm a second generation financial advisor just doesn't seem (to me) to sum it up quite well enough.

What I'm (NOT): I'm not someone that just asks how much money you have to invest and then suggests a mutual fund or some stocks to invest in and then takes a percentage fee every year. If you need someone like that, I can still help you, but what I do is so much MORE than that.

What I (DO) at Strategic Wealth Partners is help people create a financial safety net that protects their loved ones, provides guaranteed income (many times tax free income), and grows their savings—without the risk of market ups and downs.

I take a very intentional, HOLISTIC planning approach to our client's financial future.

[ho·lis·tic - (/hōˈlistik/) - encompassing the whole of a thing, and not just the part.]

I don't simply put someone's money into a mutual fund and HOPE it performs well. HOPE is not a strategy.

I focus on simple, guaranteed methods that help you protect what matters most—without gambling on the stock market or risking what you’ve worked hard for.

That's not to say that we don't leverage the stock market to grow money, but we do it in a way that protects against market losses.

One of the best parts is that I have a sophisticated planning platform that my clients can see (in black, white and color) how all the pieces of their financial life fit and work together to create the most financial efficiency possible, AND I can project out into their future and tell them how their money will grow, what the tax picture may look like in the future at a specific age and how to create a plan to minimize those taxes and make all of their assets more valuable.

You see, it's not how much money the bottom line of your STATEMENT says you have, it's how much of that money you get to keep and use that is important.

I'm in the business of helping my clients hold onto, and be able to use MORE of their money.

Let's talk soon!

It's a common thought that paying off a home is a very wise financial move, and maybe in certain situations it is a good move, BUT we would propose that it may not be the optimal or most financially efficient move. Read on to see why we say this.
