As your income increases, maybe you start to think about the tax impact of your savings.  And finally, you really start to focus in on how much you “need” or “want” before you stop the accumulation phase. The problem is that it continues to be a moving target based on your lifestyle changes, inflation, the markets, or ultimately, the unknown about how long you might live!But when is enough “enough?”   It's easy to have the blinders on and just focus on building up as large of a nest egg as possible. As a result, many pre-retirees and retirees fail to think through the distribution phase…or in other words, the decumulation phase.And many of the folks we serve are surprised to find out they have a SURPLUS in retirement. Meaning, it's going to be hard for them to spend all their nest egg during their lifetime (not a bad problem to have).In today's Whiteboard Retirement Plan breakdown, we'll look at Bruce and Jennifer Lee, who are 62/61 and looking to retire in January of 2026…We'll show you WHY they have a surplus and ultimately discuss some strategies to help them optimize for today, as well as maximize their legacy to their 2 adult children.I hope you enjoy it.-Kevin Connect with me here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join My Company Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is for general education purposes only and should not be considered as tax, legal or investment advice.

This week on the podcast we delve into the rising interest in annuities as a response to current economic uncertainties. With market volatility, discussions of potential recessions, and global tensions, many retirees are seeking stability over growth, making annuities an attractive option for guaranteed income.​ We explore how annuities function, their benefits in providing a steady income stream, and the reasons behind their recent surge in popularity. However, it's essential to understand that annuities aren't a one-size-fits-all solution. We'll discuss scenarios where annuities might not be the best fit, highlighting potential drawbacks such as fees, liquidity concerns, and the importance of aligning financial products with individual retirement goals.​ Tune in to gain a comprehensive understanding of annuities and determine if they align with your retirement strategy in these unpredictable times.​ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  LET'S CONNECT Show website: https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com Find us at: https://www.providencefinancialinc.com Get to know Anthony: https://anthonysaccaro.com Anthony's book: https://morelifethanmoneybook.com Amazon Author Page: https://amazon/author/anthonysaccaro YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AnthonySaccaro/featured Radio: https://www.providencefinancialradio.com Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/providence-financial-and-insurance-services-inc-woodland-hills Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Providence.FinancialInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnthonySaccaro LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonysaccaro/

Roth Conversions: Worth It or Not? Welcome back to the Kitchen Table! In today's episode, Dave and Nick take a deeper dive into the world of Roth conversions—what they are, how they work, and whether or not they make sense for your retirement plan. This isn't your average tax talk. We're serving up a practical, no-pressure conversation about a tool that gets a lot of hype—and a lot of confusion. From “backdoor” and “mega backdoor” conversions to tax brackets, timing, and even state-by-state considerations, we break it down so you can decide if a Roth conversion fits into your financial picture. https://youtu.be/1R9DGmRya_Q In This Episode: What is a Roth conversion and how does it work? The pros, cons, and “it depends” of using this strategy How tax brackets and future income impact your decision Real-life scenarios: early retirement, variable income, and legacy planning Roth conversions and their effect on RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions) When it's better to wait—and when it might pay to act now Takeaway Roth conversions can be a smart move, but they're not for everyone. As always, your financial goals, current tax situation, and long-term plans matter most. Don't follow the crowd—make a choice that fits YOU.

In this episode of the Providence Financial Retirement Show, we discuss the recent implementation of President Trump's tariffs and their potential impact on the economy and retirees. With tariffs reaching up to 145% on Chinese imports, consumers may face higher prices on everyday goods, from electronics to clothing. Anthony discusses how these tariffs, intended to protect domestic industries and influence trade negotiations, can lead to increased inflation and market volatility. For retirees on fixed incomes, this could mean a decrease in purchasing power and potential adjustments to retirement plans. The episode also explores strategies to mitigate these risks, emphasizing the importance of diversification and a balanced portfolio. By understanding the broader economic implications of tariffs, retirees can make informed decisions to safeguard their financial future. Listen in to gain insights on how to navigate the complexities of the current economic landscape and ensure a stable and secure retirement. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  LET'S CONNECT Show website: https://www.providencefinancialpodcast.com Find us at: https://www.providencefinancialinc.com Get to know Anthony: https://anthonysaccaro.com Anthony's book: https://morelifethanmoneybook.com Amazon Author Page: https://amazon/author/anthonysaccaro YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AnthonySaccaro/featured Radio: https://www.providencefinancialradio.com Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/providence-financial-and-insurance-services-inc-woodland-hills Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Providence.FinancialInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnthonySaccaro LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonysaccaro/

Radio personality Dave Ramsey is a huge name in the personal finance niche. While he's celebrated for helping countless listeners take control of their finances, many of his recommendations have sparked debate within the financial planning community.  I'm going to break down six of the most controversial opinions promoted by Ramsey, including advice on retirement withdrawals, debt payoff strategies, Roth accounts, investing approaches, mortgages, and the use of credit cards. I will also weigh up the pros and cons of Ramsey's methods, highlighting where they might help and where they might hinder your journey towards a successful retirement.  Whether you're a Dave Ramsey fan or just curious about best practices for financial wellness, this episode offers a thoughtful, practical take on some hotly contested money moves. You will want to hear this episode if you're interested in... [0:00] Exploring Dave Ramsey's financial advice and when it might not work for you. [07:07] Contribute to your retirement plan to at least match company contributions while managing high-interest debt. [09:07] Prioritize pretax 401(k) contributions for potential tax savings and growth, especially for high earners and those nearing retirement. [13:57] Some active funds may outperform the market, but it's challenging. Paying off all debt immediately may not always be ideal. [17:43] The problem with cash or debit use and envelope budgeting to control spending and avoid debt. [20:11] Limiting credit card use could cause missed benefits. Debunking Controversial Dave Ramsey Financial Advice In the world of personal finance, few names are as recognized as Dave Ramsey. He's helped countless listeners reclaim control of their money, but not all his advice sits comfortably with financial professionals. This week, I'm exploring several of Ramsey's most controversial recommendations, offering candid insight into where these strategies may fall short for those planning a secure retirement. 1. The 8% Retirement Withdrawal Rule is Riskier Than It Seems Dave Ramsey suggests that retirees can safely withdraw 8% of their portfolio annually. He justifies this by assuming long-term market returns of 11-12%. The problem is that average long-term returns are generally projected in the 6-8% range, and those figures often require heavy equity exposure, something unsuitable for most retirees due to the risk of major market downturns. The more widely accepted “safe withdrawal rate” is between 4 and 5%, supported by decades of research. Relying on Ramsey's higher figure may rapidly deplete retirement savings, especially during bear markets. Retirees should consider their investment mix and plan for longevity, erring on the side of caution to avoid outliving their assets. 2. Pay Off Debt, But Not at the Expense of Retirement Savings One of Ramsey's hallmark principles is eliminating all debt before focusing on retirement contributions. While high-interest debt like credit cards should indeed be a priority, neglecting retirement savings, especially employer-matched 401(k) contributions, means missing out on invaluable compounding growth and free money from your employer. Ideally, individuals should strive for a balanced approach: aggressively tackle high-interest debt while contributing enough to their workplace retirement plan to secure the full employer match, and, if possible, work towards saving 10-20% of salary for retirement. 3. All Roth, All the Time? Not Necessarily Ramsey strongly favors Roth accounts for retirement savings, arguing that after-tax contributions and tax-free withdrawals offer valuable benefits. While Roth accounts can be powerful, particularly for young savers or those in lower tax brackets. For higher earners, often in their peak earning years, the upfront tax deduction of pre-tax 401(k) or IRA contributions can provide meaningful savings. Since many retirees drop into a lower tax bracket after leaving the workforce, traditional accounts can be more tax-efficient for certain households. Morrissey advises tailoring the choice to individual circumstances, considering both current and expected future tax rates. 4. Active vs. Passive Investing Ramsey promotes active mutual fund management and even suggests that up-front mutual fund commissions are worthwhile. In the last decade, though study after study has shown that most active fund managers fail to outperform inexpensive index (passive) funds after fees. With some actively managed mutual funds charging fees of over 1%, the compounding effect of those costs can dramatically diminish returns over decades. Passive investing, through low-cost index funds, allows investors to keep more of their money and often experience better outcomes. The same is true for mutual fund commissions; with so many no-load, low-fee options available, there's little justification for paying unnecessary charges. 5. Mortgage Payoff Strategies Ramsey encourages paying off all debt, including mortgages, as quickly as possible and recommends only taking out 15-year mortgages. While debt freedom is a worthy goal, for many, low-interest mortgage debt (especially at rates under 5%) isn't necessarily worth rushing to eliminate. Investing surplus funds in the stock market historically yields higher returns than today's mortgage rates. Additionally, restricting home purchases to what's affordable on a 15-year mortgage makes homeownership unattainable for many. It's more beneficial to keep total debt payments below 35% of gross income and focus on long-term wealth accumulation. 6. Ditching Credit Cards? Ramsey's final controversial opinion is to avoid credit cards altogether and rely instead on cash or debit. While this is a great strategy for habitual overspenders or those burdened by credit card debt. However, for disciplined users, credit cards offer valuable perks, such as travel rewards and cash back, often up to 2% or more. These rewards, when paired with responsible habits (paying off balances monthly), can add up to significant savings without the risk of debt. Dave Ramsey has helped millions move toward better financial habits, but some of his advice may not serve everyone equally well. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to money. Evaluating your financial landscape and consulting with a fiduciary professional are key steps toward making smart choices that truly align with your goals and circumstances.

The old model was simple: work 40 years, retire, live off savings. But in today's world, career longevity is the new retirement strategy. And that doesn't mean grinding away at a job into your 70s. It means owning things that let you work smarter, with freedom and purpose, for as long as you choose. If you're a content creator, this is actually great news. You already have the tools to build real leverage. Here's how: 1. Stop selling your time. Time-for-money income is a trap. Instead, own assets: a blog, podcast, email list, product, or community. These things can scale without more hours. 2. Build a personal media company. One platform. One audience. One mission. When you create consistent content and control the relationship (hint: email), you're building something durable. 3. Specialize until you're unforgettable. Be the best in a narrow category, not “pretty good” in a broad one. That makes you harder to ignore—and impossible to replace. 4. Think like an investor. Great investors look for compounding returns. Same for creators. Invest in skills, ideas, and platforms that grow over time. Don't just work—build. 5. Play the long game. This is a career that doesn't have to end. Think about systems, succession, and maybe even an exit someday. A true content business outlives its creator. And maybe most important… 6. Stay healthy. Career longevity only matters if your brain and body are still firing. Protect your energy. Sleep. Move. Create with purpose. ------- Like this episode? SUBSCRIBE on Apple, Spotify or Google.

Mike Harrison shares the simple yet powerful financial principle that transformed his life: Return on Net Worth (Passive Income ÷ Net Worth). He challenges the traditional model of retirement based on depleting savings and instead advocates for financial independence through passive income that fully covers living expenses. Harrison emphasizes that only through creating reliable streams of passive income—especially from real estate—can individuals achieve lasting financial freedom, regardless of age.
