Ep. 64: Warren Buffett Says To Do ‘This’ With Your Will

“Legacy is not about leaving something for people, it’s about leaving something behind IN people.”

— Peter Strople

Many retirees create estate plans with their attorneys.  They get a big binder with their documents, hopefully they update their beneficiaries,
retitle their assets to their trust, and then they throw that big binder in a safe and “tell their kids where it is.”

But they ignore the fact that some day those documents will be read by their beneficiaries, or, perhaps an ‘ex-beneficiary.’  

Warren Buffet has a different take on estate planning that we will dive into today.  

So, we’re going to dive into Warren Buffett’s annual ‘Thanksgiving Letter.’

Then, I’ll also discuss 3 potential reasons this might be hard for you.

And as a result, I’ll give you 5 tips to make it easier to at least get the ball rolling.

I hope you all find this episode helpful.  Make sure to follow along and share this with a friend/family member who would also find it useful.

Ep. 63: Retirees – Should You Give Yourself a Raise?

WELCOME to the OFFICIAL episode 63!  I was jumping ahead of myself last week when I thought I was recording 63, but in fact that was episode 62.

Las week we talked about cash flow and budgeting, and how that sets the framework for one of the core assumptions for your retirement planning.

Today, we are going to dive into how your cash flow needs impacts your rate of withdrawal,  and ultimately how you should be giving yourself “raises” in retirement.

We’ll walk through the revolutionary study by Bill Bengen and his 4% rule.  We’ll also walk through some of the downsides of the 4% rule, and ultimately how this dovetailed into Guyton and Klinger’s “Guardrail” study.  

We’ll walk through the 4 different “Decision Rules” from the Guardrail study which creates the framework of what a safe rate of withdrawal is for your retirement and ultimately when you should give yourself a raise from your investment portfolio.  

I’ll also touch on a couple of news stories that are relevant related to:

  1. DeepSeek and the selloff of Nvidia last week.
  2. Deferred Resignation Program (Federal Government’s buyout program) and how this impacts Federal employees.

I hope you enjoy this episode!

Ep. 62: ‘Save More Money’ = Top New Year’s Resolution for 2025

Hello PFR Nation,

Welcome to the official kickstart of our show going weekly!  Yes, we switched the day of the week to Tuesday.  I will also be continuing the weekly “Fireside Chats” on YouTube, and those will be released weekly on Thursdays.  

For this episode, I wanted to chat with you all about a core financial planning topic that I haven’t discussed enough. BUDGETING.

For some of you, that may feel like a 4-letter-word.  For others, it’s music to your ears.  

I’ll highlight why tracking cash flow and having a budget will be the foundation to designing your retirement projections.

I’ll also explain 4 popular budgeting frameworks to get you started.

And finally, I’ll discuss a few things to be aware of and think through as you create your budget for retirement.  

I hope you find this one helpful!  And as always, please be sure to follow our show and give us that 5-star review if you find value in our content.  Thank you!

Ep. 61: Benefits of ‘Working’ in Retirement (w/ Roberto Fortuna)

PFR Nation,

I am very excited to have one of our very own, Roberto Fortuna, on to the show this week!  We are going to discuss the benefits of ‘Working’ in retirement.  But, when we say ‘Working’ we just mean having purpose in retirement.  Whether that is part time work, volunteering, starting a consulting business, or just being Grammy and Grandpa!  Whatever it is that is going to give you purpose in retirement, you should do more of!  

For those of you who don’t know, Roberto joined my financial planning firm last May.  Yes, I do this for a living and I’m not a ‘professional podcaster!  Roberto is a big part of our financial planning process, but he’s also a retired firefighter!  Yes, he’s the youngest looking retiree in America, I know.
Anyhow, I thought he could bring a unique perspective to this topic, plus I always enjoy my chats with Roberto and thought you would enjoy his cool,
calm and collected perspective on retirement, his journey to find purpose, taxes, and of course a fun story about how we joined forces.  

I hope you all find value in this one.  If you do, make sure to give our show a follow and leave that 5-star review.  It helps “pump the algorithm” in our
favor so we can reach and impact more people.  

Also, make sure to check out our YouTube channel as we post the video form of our podcast in addition to weekly videos on retirement related topics.
We’ll link it in the notes below.  We’ll be seeing you every week on the PFR Podcast very soon!  😊

Ep. 60: 5 Things to Watch in the Markets for 2025

Happy 2025 everyone!  First let me say, this is NOT a market prediction episode!  They are always wrong.  However, I do believe that many of you who are recently retired or approaching retirement will be interested in this episode.  I put together a list of 5 things the market is looking for in 2025 that will impact both the stock and bond market.  Additionally, I have 5 key takeaways for you to help you improve the success of your retirement plans.  

Make sure to follow our show if you are over 50 and have accumulated at least $1million for retirement or are pretty darn close (you are considered “PFR Nation”).  I am confident you will find value in what we are doing here.  

And lastly, make sure to share our show with a friend or family member who is also “PFR Nation” caliber.  

I hope you enjoy it!

Ep. 59: We’ve Been Retired for 8 Years, How Are Things Going? ‘Whiteboard Retirement Plan’ Vol 3 Ft. Sonny and Cher

PFR Nation,

It’s hard to believe we are wrapping up 2024!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season with their loved ones!  

This is Volume 3 of the “Whiteboard Retirement Plan” edition of the podcast.  The numbers don’t lie, Volume’s 1 and 2 were among the top downloaded episodes for 2024.  I will continue to do the Whiteboard Retirement Plan breakdowns every 4 or 5 episodes or so.  I don’t want to overplay it, so I’ll track the data to ensure you are still finding value in that content.

If you want to be FEATURED in a Whiteboard Retirement Plan breakdown, you can fill out the Retirement Readiness Survey which is linked at the end of the show notes.  There is a question that asks, “How do you want to engage with us?”  One of the responses is the Whiteboard Retirement Plan on YouTube, so check that box.  That is also the questionnaire you would fill out if you are interested in hiring our firm in 2025.  Based on our current capacity, I see about 8 new client slots will be available for us to bring on in 2025.  So, I would highly recommend acting soon if you’ve been thinking about engaging with us.  

With all of that out of the way, I hope you find value in this episode!  I think there is a lot to learn from “Sonny and Cher’s” breakdown related to:

  • Part time work
  • Delaying Social Security
  • Spousal Social Security
  • Spending phases (Go Go Years, Slow Go Years, No Go Years)
  • Rates of withdrawal
  • Investment returns related to a “Balanced Portfolio”
  • Process of withdrawals during a down market
  • Downsizing in retirement

And more!

If you are 50+ and have accumulated over $1mm for retirement, you will probably want to follow/subscribe to the show as I am sure you will find some value in the content we put out.

And with that, I am signing off for 2024!   Wishing you a Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous 2025!

Ep. 58: Let’s Ask ‘Chat GPT’ When You Should Hire a Financial Advisor!

PFR Nation…you’re somewhere in the ballpark of 50-60+ and you’ve gotten to the point where you feel you are on the verge of achieving financial independence.  Congratulations!!  All of that hard work and sacrifice pays off in the end.  

I wanted to make an episode about when I thought it made sense to hire a financial advisor, and more specifically a financial advisor who specializes in retirement planning.  However, I realized how BIASED I am personally on this topic 😊!

Naturally, I decided to go to the most objective source possible, Chat GPT.  For those who don’t know, Chat GPT is the Godfather of Artificial Intelligence and is owned by “OpenAI.”  

I created a new chat with the following prompt:

“I’m doing my next podcast for folks in the 50 to 60 range that have saved diligently for retirement. I want to explain when and why they should really consider hiring a financial planner.  Also, I want to tell them HOW to find a financial advisor that specializes in working with them.”

So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy this episode.  

P.S.

I talked about WHERE I would go to find the “Right” financial advisor on the show, but I did not get into the details.  I said I would create a short list of resources to use in your find an advisor search, so I decided to make a PDF for you all.  I hope it helps! CLICK HERE to view the PDF.

Where do I find a retirement focused financial advisor?

Where do I find a retirement focused financial advisor?

Congratulations on getting to the point where you are thinking about retirement and ultimately looking for professional help to execute it successfully.   I’ve personally seen many folks try to execute this phase as a “DIYer,” but we all have our blind spots.  And oftentimes those blind spots can cost you in the way of underspending, overspending, higher taxes paid, and ultimately higher stress/anxiety given you are the one in charge of flying the plane. 

Thanks for listening to our recent podcast episode about when you should hire an advisor.  For those who have not listened to it yet, I would highly recommend you do it before reading further.  If not, you can probably still learn something useful!

Without further ado, let’s jump in.​

Let me start by saying that I acknowledge that this advice is not meant for everyone.  I believe your life stage should dictate who you should hire and how you should engage with a financial advisor.  For this reason, I want to focus solely on talking to YOU all, PFR Nation (Planning for Retirement Nation).  You are likely somewhere in the ballpark of 50-60+, you’ve likely accumulated more than 7 figures for retirement, and now you are looking to make work optional.  This is NOT meant for the average American who barely has $100k saved for retirement.  Because of this, it’s very likely that taxes are going to be one of the largest, if not the single largest expense in retirement. 

As a result of this, finding a financial advisor who is a specialist in tax optimization in retirement is a must. ​

Is this easy to identify?  Not on the surface.  However, if you find yourself interviewing a financial advisor, here are a few questions you could ask them:

  • How do you help minimize taxes in retirement?
  • What tools do you use to assist in this process?
  • What are some of the common tax traps retirees you serve run in to?
  • What tax strategies are common recommendations you make for the clients you serve?

And then I would end with the kicker…

  • Do you review your client’s tax returns as part of your service?

If there is a bunch of stuttering, or a blank stare, or a “Sorry, we don’t provide tax advice” type of response, it’s time to move on.  And more importantly, if you have a financial advisor, and you are paying that advisor 1% or more of your investment portfolio…

Ask yourself, is that advisor reviewing your tax returns? 

Every movement of money has a tax consequence, wouldn’t it make sense for your FINANCIAL ADVISOR to know what your tax situation is?  I would think so!

With that out of the way, let’s talk about the big box firms vs. independents.

Yes, I’m an independent advisor, so I’m clearly biased.  However, I worked in “big box” firms the first 12 years in the industry.  There are absolutely rockstar advisors that work in both models.  However, there are many more phonies who don’t do real financial planning.  From my personal experience, I find the latter is more common in the big box model.  That is just the nature of the business.  They focus on sales quotas, asset growth and other sales type metrics.  They don’t necessarily focus on “value adds” for clients.  So, I recognize you may work with an advisor at a big box firm.  And that is OKAY!  Don’t let anyone beat you up on this.  However, you might ask some of those tax related questions I mentioned earlier as you think through whether you want to stay with that advisor.

We just brought on a new client that specifically said they fired their longtime advisor because he was not an expert in taxes in retirement and was more focused on “Investment Management.”  It’s okay to tell your long-time advisor that you need to move on to someone who is an expert in this retirement phase and furthermore can help you minimize your potentially largest expense in retirement. 

Let’s talk about credentials.

The CFP, or Certified Financial Planner designation, has been a long time “gold standard” in the advisory industry.  I went through the curriculum in 2011 @ Georgetown University, and I believed at the time, and still believe, it was a MUST for financial advisors to obtain.  I recall multiple times early on after obtaining the CFP clients hiring me simply because I was a CFP.  Because of this, many of the big box firms have pushed their newer advisors to obtain the CFP simply for “optics.”  Meaning, they weren’t really pursuing the CFP to add more value to clients, they were obtaining their CFP to increase sales and revenue from their “books of business.” 

I have been involved with the CFP board’s Disciplinary and Ethics Commission, and I have seen this firsthand.  I sat in on a hearing for a CFP Professional who clearly was doing wrong by his clients.  I asked him “Why do you even want to continue to use your CFP marks?”  His response, “Because clients expect it.”  I guess what I’m saying is, just because an advisor has their CFP does not mean they are a competent, ethical, financial advisor.  So, do your due diligence beyond designations. 

There are also additional designations that exemplify knowledge around retirement and taxes.  This list includes, but is not limited to:

  • Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP)
  • Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
  • Enrolled Agent (EA)
  • Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)
  • Certified Private Wealth Advisor (CPWA)
  • Accredited Estate Planner (AEP)

All of these designations help deepen the knowledge of specialization.  In other words, the CFP is wide and shallow.  Whereas a specialty designation will go narrow and deep…particularly in the areas of tax, retirement income, investments and estate planning.  

So, in short, make sure the advisor is AT LEAST a CFP, but can demonstrate knowledge in the specific area you are looking for help in. 

Does Location Matter?

When I first started in the industry, the optics of a fancy office with mahogany desks and a city view were very important.  I remember advisors were so hell bent on looking the part that they spent THOUSANDS of dollars on expensive suits and watches so their clients thought they were successful.  I always thought this was a bit disingenuous.  However, as a young whipper snapper early in my career, I sort of fell into this trap.  I did well as a 21-year-old coming out of college, especially entering the work force in the worst recession of our lifetime.  I bought a fancy car, wore nice suits and even bought a few expensive watches.  However, it all changed for me when I moved my office to a satellite office in Fairfax, VA.  I looked up to two of the advisors there (Rob and Nolan) and I wanted a practice like theirs.  They weren’t “salesmen,” they were true advisors.  True fiduciaries.  However, I noticed that I was driving a nicer car than both of these two!  They were the ones that kept me in check and made me realize that we need to practice what we preach.  And what they preached was sound money management.  Not overspending.  Not driving fancy cars just for the optics.  Instead, they used their money wisely to build multi-generational wealth and make an impact on their clients along the way.  So, after I totaled my fancy sports car one night in 2012, I bought a Hyundai Sonata and quit worrying about buying fancy things.  That still bleeds into how I manage my money today.  I drive a Honda, my wife drives a Honda, and we don’t buy fancy clothes or unnecessary frivolous things.  Sure, we do live a nice lifestyle.  We love to travel, we have a nice home, and I love to play golf.  However, we are pretty darn good about being a good steward of the blessings we have. 

What does this have to do with hiring an advisor who is local to you? Everything!

After the pandemic, people began to get comfortable with doing business online.  Heck, you couldn’t even meet with your advisor in the office during 2020 if you wanted to.  This made me realize.  Wow.  I can do this from anywhere.  I don’t need to pay for a fancy office downtown just for the optics, because my clients don’t care about the optics.  They care about value!  They care that their advisor is doing right with their money and making sure they are capitalizing on opportunities that help achieve their goals. 

And there are many other advisors around the country who think the same way as we do. 

So, if you are comfortable with it, ignoring the zip code of your advisor’s office can help open the door to find an advisor that TRULY fits the profile you are looking for! 

With that being said, if an “in person” relationship is important, just make sure to do the same due diligence I mentioned earlier prior to hiring that advisor, and don’t just take a recommendation from a friend who has no idea what your financial situation looks like. 

Ok, let’s get to it. Here are some places I would go to find an advisor (in no particular order):

National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA)

https://www.napfa.org/

NAPFA has been the gold standard to find a “Fee Only” financial advisor.  These are advisors that cannot receive any third-party compensation and are always held to the fiduciary standard.  This does help to reduce, but not eliminate, conflicts of interest.  Additionally, the default search bar does filter by Zip Code or Location.  So, if you are hellbent on finding a local advisor that you can see face to face, this would be a great place to start.

Fee Only Network

https://www.feeonlynetwork.com/

This is really a spin-off from NAPFA, so I’m not sure how different your search results will be.  However, this is another place to search for a fee only financial advisor, if that is important to you.  Additionally, there are some additional filters that allow you to search for firms virtually as well, which I think is useful.

XY Planning Network

https://connect.xyplanningnetwork.com/find-an-advisor

XY Planning Network was founded by Michael Kitces and Alan Moore in an effort to serve generations X and Y.  However, many of the advisors also serve retirees/near retirees.  And frankly, Gen X is getting close to retirement now anyhow with the oldest Gen Xers turning 60 next year!!   XY Planning Network has a great search tool to filter by a variety of different search criteria, including specialty/niche.  They also have some qualitative search criteria as well that may or may not be important to you.  I will also note that the majority of XY Members that I am aware of operate virtual, but some have a hybrid model.  If you are comfortable with a virtual relationship, that won’t be an issue.  However, if you do prefer face-to-face or hybrid, you can also filter by location. 

Financial Planning Association (FPA)

https://www.financialplanningassociation.org/practice-support/plannersearch

The FPA claims to be the lead trade association supporting the mission of Certified Financial Planner (CFP) professionals.  You must go to the “FPA Planner Search” website in order to search for an advisor.  The search tool is primarily geared towards location only, not necessarily niche or expertise, for whatever that is worth. 

Unlike NAPFA, Fee Only Network and XY Network, FPA members do not have to be “Fee Only.”  This means they can charge fees, commissions, or both.  I am not saying this is necessarily good or bad, but if you want to avoid a hard sell insurance and annuity products, you’ll have to be keep your guard up.  Or, you can search one of the other sites for a fee only advisor.

The CFP Board itself

https://www.letsmakeaplan.org/

Naturally, if you are looking for a CFP professional, you can go directly to their site and search for an advisor.  You can toggle by location, name and service specialties.  It’s not the most robust tool, but if you want to ensure your advisor is in fact a CFP professional, this is a good way to confirm that information. 

Flat Fee Advisors

https://www.flatfeeadvisors.org/

There has been a big shift in the industry to fee-transparency (FINALLY!).  The days of charging 1% on $3mm of assets solely for investment management are going by the wayside.  If you calculate that fee, it’s $30k/year for a service that should cost closer to 0.5%/year.  Instead of charging a %, many advisors, including our firm, quote the fee in dollar terms.  This creates more transparency and defines what exact services you may or may not be receiving.  I’m not going to say % of AUM is good or bad.  Or that flat fee is good or bad.  We choose to charge flat fees because of the clients we serve ($1mm – $5mm) and how we serve them.  If you hire an advisor who charges a %, make sure they are also going to help in other areas beyond investment management (particularly in cash flow planning and taxes). 

Additionally, if you do not want to have an investment management relationship but still need financial advice, hiring an advisor who can charge without managing investments might be important to you.  The flatfeeadvosrs.org website could be a good place to search for one of these types of firms. 

Podcasts and YouTube

When I first started in the industry in 2008, the motto was, “See people or fight to see people.”  “See people” meant door knocking or meeting with family/friends/clients to try to drum up business.  “Fighting to see people” meant cold calling or networking.  And truthfully, the MAJORITY of the advisors in my office and offices around the country were focused mostly on these efforts.  It was a sales-focused culture.  With that being said, new business was the lifeblood.  Eat what you kill. 

Podcasting and YouTube has allowed me to spend ZERO time cold calling, sending mailers, hosting seminars or webinars for the purpose of drumming up business etc.  Instead, I have chosen to focus on content creation as my medium of new business generation.  Additionally, the creation of content allows me to further sharpen my skills and knowledge on topics that are important/relevant to the clients I serve. 

So, if I were looking for an advisor, I would listen to their podcasts, watch their videos, and read their articles to get a feel for their knowledge.  In addition, you can get a feel for their communication style to see if it resonates.  That way, you sort of know what you are getting prior to engaging in a relationship.  This is a great benefit to you as a consumer who may or may not be comfortable reaching out to a stranger online.  I’ve had multiple clients hire me after listening to my podcasts and they all said they felt like they already knew me, which was pretty cool. 

If the advisor isn’t podcasting or creating content, that’s okay.  Not everyone is good at this and frankly the advisor can still be a rockstar despite not being a content creator. 

Thanks for reading my rant about finding a financial advisor. 

Hopefully this helps you in your search to find the right fit to help you and your family achieve work optional.

Ep. 57: End of Year Tax Planning Opportunities

Happy Thanksgiving, PFR Nation!

What a ride 2024 has been.  You all were a HUGE part in making this year so exciting.  Listen, it’s a lonely business that I chose…being a rogue financial planner in the independent space.  However, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

Given it is the season of gratitude, of course I want to give a shoutout to my team!  Zack, The Podcast Man.  Amy, our Client Services Associate.
 Mason, my shorts/social media editor.  And of course, Roberto, the backbone of our financial planning process.  I could not do what I do without all of you, and I just want to thank you for the impact you are making on the families we serve.  

So, It is the end of another year, it’s hard to believe.  For our practice, this is when we do a our end of year tax planning.  We are not only looking at opportunities for 2024, but opportunities in 2025 and beyond.  Given we are firmly planted in our tax planning season, I thought I’d share some tips and tricks for you to consider in your own retirement planning journey.  

I hope this helps.  My only ask is that you share this with a friend or family member who is “PFR Nation” caliber as I can guarantee they will also find value
in our content.  Much appreciated!

Ep. 56: Aging in Place w/Michael Levine

I’m excited for this episode, as we have a real-life retiree, Michael Levine, who successfully owned and sold a home healthcare business.  Michael spent the beginning of his career in accounting until he and his wife started their company over a decade ago.  His knowledge in the home health care space in addition to maximizing the benefits of long-term care insurance is going to be extremely valuable to all of you who are planning for your own retirement as well as caring for aging parents.

Some of the topics we’ll touch on are:

  • Why homecare?  
  • Homecare vs. Medicare
  • Hiring a home care company vs. privately
  • How does Long-term care insurance fit into Home health care?  
  • Cost of care, how to decide how much LTCi to buy?
  • Maximizing your LTC policy
  • What if you don’t have LTC…and what if our clients are stepping in to care for aging parents

I hope you enjoy this one and make sure to share it with a friend or family member who would benefit from this content.
