A little hope is good for the soul, but when it comes to retirement planning, wishful thinking can lead to serious financial mistakes. Today, we're walking through five common examples of wishful thinking that can quietly damage your retirement and how you can build a plan that protects your future instead of relying on luck.   Important Links: Website: http://www.yourplanningpros.com Call: 844-707-7381   ----more---- Transcript:    Marc: A little hope is good for the soul, but when it comes to retirement planning, wishful thinking can lead to some serious financial mistakes. So we want to talk about a few ways wishful thinking could possibly damage our retirement this week on Plan with the Taxman.   What's going on, everybody? Welcome into the podcast. Thanks for hanging out with Tony Mauro and myself as we talk invest and finance in retirement. Tony is a CPA, CFP, and an EA with 30-plus years of experience, and he is the Tax Doctor at Tax Doctor Inc., serving you all around the, well, Iowa and other areas as well. He's got clients all over the place. But we appreciate your time here on the podcast. And this week, we got a few wishful ways that, wishful thinking ways, I guess, that maybe could damage us, Tony. And there's nothing wrong with being optimistic and hopeful. Well, that's all good stuff. But you want to not kind of carry that so far, I guess, that it clouds your judgment and costs you in the end, right?   Tony Mauro: That's right.   Marc: Yeah.   Tony Mauro: Some of these topics are some we hear all the time.   Marc: All the time? Well, we'll try to tackle some of the biggest ones for you.   Tony Mauro: Yeah.   Marc: You doing all right this week?   Tony Mauro: I'm doing good. Yeah. I mean, we're getting ready to spend a little more time outside, although the weather here is cool.   Marc: I think it's cool across the country, actually, a little bit.   Tony Mauro: Yeah.   Marc: In some places.   Tony Mauro: A lot of rain and stuff.   Marc: Yeah.   Tony Mauro: Hoping for something warmer.   Marc: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Well, that's wishful thinking, right?   Tony Mauro: That's wishful thinking on my part. Yep.   Marc: Well, let's get into a couple of these and talk about it. We got to go with a standard classic, really, financial myth, I think, and that's the wishful thinking thought of, "I'll be in a lower tax bracket once I retire, so that's going to help me out from my cost savings standpoint," or whatever. And Tony, I've been talking with you for years and lots of other financial professionals, and they all tell me the same thing, that more times than not, people are in the same tax bracket when they retire, not a lower one. What's your thoughts?   Tony Mauro: That's correct. Yeah, we find that too. It's the same or sometimes even higher depending on what they have coming in and how that is going to be taxed. And I mean, the traditional thinking is that, "Hey, my expenses are going to go way down, my income is going to go way down, and so therefore my bracket will go way down." But a lot has changed even with the brackets. There's not as big of a spread in each one, so they don't go down by that much. But a lot of times, people that have definitely planned and saved and are bringing in money, passive income from retirement sources, that a lot of times is the same or higher income than when they were working, which is a great thing, but they don't drop tax brackets, so we got to be very efficient about taking it out.   Marc: Yeah. Okay. And that's the point. So it's the income strategy, where you're pulling it from and at what time, that's going to kind of dictate this a little bit, right?   Tony Mauro: Yes.   Marc: So that's when you start getting into the, which horse are you riding? The Social Security horse or your own, the 401(k)'s over here that you have or what on pulling out the income gap, kind of shoring up that income gap. Because they don't just, getting to Medicare, when you're 65, they give you Medicare. It'd be cool if they said, "Hey, you're 65. You're automatically in a lower tax bracket." But you don't get it as a retirement bonus. So if you want to be in a lower bracket, you have to strategize for it.   Tony Mauro: You got to strategize, and you got to pull money out of the right buckets at the right time which I think is where a planner, if you're working with one, is going to really help you in that regard besides just trying to get the most return for whatever you're doing, whether you're taking some of the principal or just interest or whatever.   Marc: What's the culprit that keeps us in that tax bracket the same? Is it typically the RMD withdrawals?   Tony Mauro: I find it's the RMD withdrawals and then other income. People will go back and work a little bit. And then what they don't realize is that sneaky Social Security being taxed is that they bring in this income from other sources. And oh, by the way, now all of a sudden, a lot of my Social Security is taxed, and they weren't ready for that. They thought they were going down in income, which they are a little bit, but then that Social Security creeps back in for taxation purposes, and it screws up a lot. I just saw a lot of it this year. We had a lot of retirees that went out and had RMDs, and then they were also, a lot of them went back to work. You could look at their comparisons on their tax returns, and last year, hardly any of their Social Security was taxable. This year it was the full max, 85% of it, and all of a-   Marc: Because of the income pullout.   Tony Mauro: Yeah. Because of the income pullout.   Marc: Yeah.   Tony Mauro: And so you got to watch that. And you can plan some of that away a little bit, but that's the culprit that I saw this year with the Social Security.   Marc: And that's where, again, some of that strategy comes in. And then when you do bump that income up higher, also with the Social Security, that then also affects the IRMAA conversation, right, the IRMAA penalty.   Tony Mauro: Yeah. Yeah, it affects that. And then that obviously affects the tax bracket. And it's very sneaky because the clients, like I say, none of them realize that about the Social Security.   Marc: Well, you kind of mentioned it, so we won't dive into it, but another one that was on my list was I'll spend less money when I retire because I'm no longer going to work and stuff. But I mean, you kind of touched on that. I think I sum it up all the time with the way my dad said it to me many, many years ago, which I've shared on this podcast before. And he was like, "Hey, retirement's great. I'm digging it. Every day's a weekend." I was like, "Awesome." He's like, "Yeah, but I spend all the money on the weekends." Right?   Tony Mauro: Yeah. That's right. Yep.   Marc: So you just got to be careful. Right?   Tony Mauro: That's a good saying. Yeah, I like that.   Marc: Yeah. And he, unfortunately, passed away, wasn't retired for very long. But it's always stuck with me because I was 15 or 16, something like that. I was like, "Okay, well, every day in retirement's a weekend, and you spend a lot of money on weekends, so be careful." So don't assume that that's, and again, wishful thinking, being well, like this next one, "Well, as long as I keep getting this good return, Tony, that I've had for the last, let's say 10 years, then my plan will work." Well, that's wishful thinking. I mean, as we saw this year, obviously, we had a new administration, we had the tariffs come in, made things pretty rocky. Now it's smoothed out there. We're almost back to all-time highs, but still, don't go into things with the assumption that every single year the market's going to give you 20% returns or 12% returns or whatever.   Tony Mauro: Yeah. And I think most retirees shouldn't be looking at that like that anyway, because it's time to be more conservative. And if you're banking on that, and we have a prolonged, we haven't had a lot of it in the last, what, prolonged 15 years?   Marc: 17 years?   Tony Mauro: Yeah, 15 years. Yeah. We've had little blips, yes, and some months of-   Marc: I mean big blips, but they didn't last long, right?   Tony Mauro: No, it didn't last long. And if you're not prepared for that or worse, you're not diversified, and you've got a lot of stuff, meaning your retirement income or not income, but your nest egg in something a little more aggressive, and that particular sector has a bad three to five years, that's going to blow that whole thing right up. You won't be just fine.   Marc: Yeah. And so the wishful thinking, again, being, "As long as this and this and this happen, I'm good." Right?   Tony Mauro: You're right.   Marc: Well, you can't control this and this and this, so get a good strategy to hopefully retire in any economy. And maybe what you were talking about there a little bit, right, is sequence of risk return, right? Or sequence of return risk. Because if you literally retired in the down market, and it lasted for a couple years, obviously those accounts are going smaller, and you're pulling money out. That's what you're talking about, right?   Tony Mauro: That's what I'm talking about. As I always preach to people, I can't control what the market does. Nobody can. All we can do is make sure we're invested in the right things that, over time and depending on what your plan is, that's going to get you to where you need to go. But I definitely would not, say somebody comes in and says that to me, it's like, "Whoa, we got to change your thinking real fast here because that's going to get you into some trouble."   Marc: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. All right, so let's see. What else have we got on this list? Well, okay, let's piggyback off of that one. "Well, if things go south, I'll just keep working." The wishful thinking of, "Well, if it all goes to crap in a hand basket, I'll just go back to work." Maybe you can, but maybe you can't. Your body may not let you, your company may not want you, or you may not be able to make the kind of living that you thought you were going to make.   Tony Mauro: I agree with all of those, and what I see is the biggest ones are my health or abilities won't allow me to do that. When I was working, things were different. I don't have that skill set that a lot of people were looking for, but I do see a lot of it, even though nobody admits it, is age discrimination. Nobody wants to hire.   Marc: Right? Isn't it funny?   Tony Mauro: Yeah. A 70-year-old.   Marc: But it's easy to go, "Well, we just don't have anything." Or whatever. Even if you're sharp as a tack. Yeah, it definitely exists out there.   Tony Mauro: There's a car dealer here that the drivers that drive me back for when I have my car.   Marc: Oh, like the shuttle service thing?   Tony Mauro: Yeah. They were telling me that they are driving for this company because the last company said they have a mandatory retirement age of 70. We don't want you if you're 70 or above and you have to get out.   Marc: I wonder if that's an insurance thing because we don't want to have to cover the insurance that it's going to cost in case you have a driving, an accident.   Tony Mauro: In case you wreck. Yeah.   Marc: Because your response isn't fast enough. It's not as fast as it used to be, your motor skills or whatever. So yeah, it's a fine line. So they think they can cry safety for the public, but it's also bordering on age discrimination. So we're in a weird world.   Tony Mauro: It really is. It's very weird.   Marc: We're in a strange world.   Tony Mauro: I do see that though.   Marc: No, for sure.   Tony Mauro: If a 70-year-old-   Marc: Airline pilots. I've got a client that does a podcast, Tony, he's an airline pilot, and they have mandatory retirement. I think it's 65. They can't be in the skies anymore, right?   Tony Mauro: Yeah. For controllers it's 56.   Marc: Oh, there you go.   Tony Mauro: The only reason I know that is because I do fly, private pilot, that is, and it's funny because you're kind of in tune with all that and the whole air traffic control issues that they've got, and I don't think they pay those people enough.   And then of course they have a limited shelf life because they make them get out so early.   Marc: I guarantee it's insurance-based. What do you want to bet that some lawyers and some insurance people somewhere said, "Let's just reduce our risk mitigation here?"   Tony Mauro: Risk, yeah, very well could be.   Marc: Yeah. Interesting. So yeah, I mean, again, back to the topic, wishful thinking. I'll just go back to work is not a great strategy either. So could you? Maybe, but don't plan on it. And right along with that, Tony, is maybe we want to make this the last one is, "My kids will cover it. My kids will help me if it's bad." And a lot of us get in that situation. I mean, I help my mom. She's not living the retirement she wanted, but it was not a conversation we ever had. And she's in this position not by, well, sort of by choice, but at the same time, don't just assume that your kids are going to go, "Yeah, no problem. I'm going to help you out." Because they're probably raising their family at that point, and they may want to, but they may not be able to actually do much more than maybe drive you around or something like that.   Tony Mauro: Yes, I agree. I'm trying to think when you were talking about it, if I've had any clients that actually have ever said that my kids are going to help me. A lot of them think they're going to help them, but nobody's ever come out and said, "Yeah, my kid, he's just doing everything for me." I do think that's very wishful thinking, and I think that's a lot of burden to throw on a child.   Marc: I'm glad you said that. That's a funny, because when we do those surveys to potential retirees, what's the top five things? Almost always one of the top five, Tony, and I'm sure you'll agree with this, is, "I don't want to be a burden on my family."   Tony Mauro: Exactly. That's right up there.   Marc: Yet these wishful thinking things, folks, that we're talking about this week also come from retirees. These are actual literal sentences from retirees that we surveyed. So to say, on the one hand, I don't want to be a burden on my kids, but then on the other hand, well, if all else fails, the kids will help me. It's a weird dichotomy. So just get a strategy so that you don't have to put them in that spot.   Tony Mauro: Absolutely. And a plan will certainly help you with that. And so will certain types of insurance and understanding some of that toward the end of life, so you have options so that you're not in that situation. And then if you wishful think that and the kids aren't able to help you, well now you're in a real pickle because you've got all kinds of not probably too desirable ways to live and take it around and it's bad.   Marc: The options are not super, super fantastic. So look, wishful thinking, again, good stuff can be there, but if you don't put it into practice or if you don't put a backup plan or a strategy in practice and then the wishful thinking is the backup plan, then you're maybe setting yourself up. And a lot of these, again, are kind of normal. There's a lot of other ones. We won't spend a lot of time on it because they're very similar, but it's, "I'll be in the lower tax bracket." Or, "I'll spend less money when I retire." Or, "The kids will help me." Or, "I'll just keep working." Or, "I'll sell the house and downsize." Right? That's another one that happens sometimes. Why go with the worst case scenario if this happens wishful thinking instead of getting a good strategy into plan together and saying, "Okay, let's run some stress test scenarios if this happens, and then let's run some if that happens." And that's what you guys are doing when you're starting to build these plans.   Tony Mauro: That is, and it's much better to be in that situation rather than, "Well, if this, this, and this happens, I'll be okay." I mean, I don't like to have three or four things that have to happen and everything line up for you to be okay. We want to make sure you're okay if nothing happens. And then if some of those things do happen, that's great.   Marc: Well, and you run those scenarios. So let's say you run the scenario and, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, it looks like, based on this, here's what you're going to need to make this goal happen." Maybe that's working a little longer. Maybe that's saving a little more. So you have all those options laid out. Or plan B is, "You do have enough, right? It is going to make it, but here's what happens if one spouse passes early." So you get all these different kinds of outlooks to structure your life around versus just hoping.   Tony Mauro: I agree. I agree 100% because again, relating it back to the real world, I've got some family that haven't done this, they haven't planned, and they're getting ready to retire, and they have a lot of these wishful thinkings going through their mind. I'm trying to set them straight saying, "You're planning on too much. You got too many things that have to go right." And we sat down, I told them the, well, it wasn't the truth that they wanted to hear, but it's the facts. And they're now, we're working to get some things in alignment according to a plan that they can handle and at least they know.   Marc: Yeah, that's good. And it happens, right? I mean, you're in the industry and you have family that doesn't listen or whatever or didn't listen for a while. So we all have that in walks of life, mechanics. It's like, "Oh, my wife's car's falling apart." And it's like, "Well, you're a mechanic." "Well, I don't have time to fix it, and she never listens to me." That kind of thing. So it happens in all walks of life.   But what do you need to do? You got to do the best things for yourself. And a lot of times that starts with sitting down, getting an analysis done, and looking at what it's going to cost you. Often it's not nearly as expensive as people think it is, and the reward and the risk reward ratio is much, much better.

When George Harrison died, I helped move a friend from her flat in Elizabeth St to her new place then in Tasman St. From Mt Vic to Mt Cook sounds like the title to a down-scaling book but this was just how it was back in 2001. We scrubbed the walls to get the smoke stains off from where the pictures had been and all the while the radio was playing Beatles songs.I was on the heavy lifting, helping the removal men when they arrived. I was lifting tables and chairs, computer desks and various things down the alleyway to the street front. It was baking hot; I'd played a gig the night before and stayed up late drinking whatever was in the house as a toast to the Quiet Beatle. My hangover was getting a workout.The removal truck arrived, driven by the world's rudest man. He was instantly a caricature. Loud and dumb and full of himself. And his truck was in the middle of the street – a one-way road. He figured everyone could wait because he was on a paid job. And when he did, grudgingly, move the truck, he backed it into someone's car. A neighbour popped his head in to say he'd seen what happened. The moving man stuck his neck out to tell the man to forget what he saw if he wanted to keep all his fingers. Then there was a car of women beeping. Beeping. Trying to tell this man to move.I was head-down and just bringing out the loads of stuff. But I said, at one point, that maybe he ought to move his truck. He laughed maniacally and then went to meet the women in the car. He bent down, leaned in and hoiked a giant spit right into the face of the driver. His co-worker laughed, then corrected himself, shook his head, was mortified. And he asked the lunatic, “why did you do that?”The meathead replied that it was the “the dirtiest thing I could think to do”.The radio belted out I Me Mine and Here Comes The Sun and Taxman and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. All those great George Harrison-penned Beatles songs. We heard a few of the solo gems too – obviously My Sweet Lord and All Those Years Ago, that cover of Got My Mind Set on You and a Travelling Wilburys song – or two.But this was the end of the line. A guy spat in a woman's face because he couldn't be bothered to move his truck. Because he was sure that he was the boss. Because he knew that he was large – and if not in charge he was still the king. At least of anything that mattered in his world. We were mortified. Horrified. We were stunned to silence – and didn't feel good about that.We had a story. A weird story. And it's one we'll always have. Me and the friend I helped move that day…were married a few years on, we've moved houses a handful of times since that occasion. We've streamlined all we can but the mess continues to grow, the stuff we don't need builds up around us. And we have a son now that wants to know any story about The Beatles that we can think of.One day, he can read this. And make of it what he will.Sounds Good! is a reader-supported publication.

Tuesday, 8 April 2025   As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him. Matthew 9:9   “And Jesus, passing thence, He saw a man sitting upon the tax-booth, being called Matthew. And He says to him, ‘You follow Me.' And, having arisen, he followed Him” (CG).   In the previous verse, it noted that the multitudes marveled and glorified God who had given such power to men as to heal the paralytic. As noted, the healing was both physical and spiritual. Jesus had said that the man's sins were forgiven. The fact that He healed the man physically substantiated His words concerning forgiveness. Thus, the crowds marveled. Next, it says, “And Jesus, passing thence.”   A new word is found here, “paragó.” It is derived from para, beside, and agó, to lead, bring, carry, etc. Therefore, it signifies “to lead near.” Strong's Lexicon says –   “The verb ‘paragó' is used in the New Testament to describe the action of leading or bringing something or someone alongside or past a certain point. It can imply a physical movement or a metaphorical passage, such as the passing of time or events.”   To understand the metaphorical meaning, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:31, “For the form of this world is passing away [paragó].”   Looking at the eight literal uses of the word in the gospels, each gives the sense of passing near a person or persons who become a part of the ongoing narrative. Such is the case here where Matthew next records, “He saw a man sitting upon the tax-booth.”   Here is another new word, telónion. It is derived from telónés, the dreaded tax collector who seems to pop up in every society. In this case, the word telónion refers to his place of business. Today, we might say “tax office.” In the case of Israel at the time, it was probably a booth or a table where taxes were collected. Of this person, a typical dreaded and disdained publican, it next says, “being called Matthew.”   In Mark, the name is Levi the son of Alphaeus. Luke simply calls him Levi. They are the same person, but Matthew anticipates his designated apostolic name at this time. In the selection of the apostles, both Mark and Luke will call him Matthew. Of him, he next records, “And He says to him, ‘You follow Me.'”   Although it is only speculation, it is possible that this calling actually comes after some sort of previous interaction. It may be that Matthew has heard Jesus speak, or they may have personally conversed about some matter or another.   Whatever is the case, Jesus knew that this person was ready to leave his duties as a tax collector and take on a completely different pursuit. And so, it next says, “And, having arisen, he followed Him.”   Matthew made the wisest decision he could possibly have made. He may not have even realized it at the time. Or it may be that in hearing that this man could forgive sins (based on the previous passage), he may have thought, “This is what I need. I'm a reprobate to my society and a sinful man.” Whatever prompted him, he heard the call and responded.   Life application: There is a calling to come to Jesus to be saved. If you have responded to that through belief, you are saved. But there may be an additional calling upon you. You may have the inner desire prompting you to become a missionary, tell others about the word, become a preacher, or plaster your car with Jesus bumper stickers.   Whatever you are prompted to do, if it is glorifying of God and not contrary to the Bible, don't quench it. Rather, respond in a manner that will get the ball rolling and then continue to do what is necessary to keep it going. Fan the flames of the passion within you.   Matthew was asked to follow, and He did. You may have been designed by God in your makeup, time, position, etc., to follow Him in a particular way. So, get up and go!    As a bonus concerning tax collectors and what Matthew was brought out of, take time today to listen to Taxman by the Beatles. A couple thousand years after Matthew was brought out of his life of taxing others, people still write about what they think about this profession. If a taxman can be called by Jesus to do other, greater things, so can you.   Lord God, You have called sinners to come unto You through the precious shed blood of Christ. I'm a sinner! I responded on that glorious day. Now, help me to continue to follow closely beside You all my days. To Your glory, I pray. Amen.

The Sensex plunged over 2,000 points, Nifty dropped more than 600, wiping out a two-week rally. The trigger? Donald Trump's tariff hike announcement rattled global markets, sending IT and metal stocks into a tailspin—down 7–9%. Banks and FMCG held steady, but foreign investors flipped to sellers, deepening the slide. This week is crucial. The RBI's monetary policy meet on April 9, along with IIP and CPI data, will set the tone. TCS kicks off Q4 earnings on April 10, adding to the market's watchlist. Technically, Nifty's support sits at 22,600—if that breaks, 22,100 could be next. Bank Nifty is showing some strength and might just be the market's silver lining. Meanwhile, Skoda Auto Volkswagen India is in hot water over a ₹11,526 crore tax dispute. India's customs department claims Skoda misclassified imported parts as something other than Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits between 2012 and 2024—costing the exchequer big. Skoda disagrees and has taken the matter to the Bombay High Court. But customs officials say the automaker delayed proceedings by not submitting critical documents—even after repeated requests. A past probe also found Skoda concealed 31 agreements with foreign affiliates. The court has yet to rule, but the government wants adjudication to begin—immediately. India's PM E-Drive scheme for electric trucks? Still stuck in neutral. One year in, not a single rupee of the ₹500 crore fund has been used. No trucks subsidized. No localization rules issued. The scheme, meant to boost clean logistics, is now looking to steel, cement, ports, and logistics sectors to revive demand. But without a clear Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP), truckmakers are stuck. They say they need 18 months once rules are notified—but the clock's ticking. The scheme ends FY26. Still, the market is moving quietly—over 6,000 electric goods carriers were sold in 2024, up from 2,600 in 2023. Chinese major BYD is leading the charge, but with ₹150 crore unused this fiscal, the government's got work to do—and fast. Premium Indian whiskies might just dodge the U.S. tariff bullet. A fresh 26% duty hike on Indian liquor exports is worrying—but top-shelf single malts are holding their own. “Even a 30% hike won't shake premium buyers,” says Radico Khaitan's Amar Sinha. Last year, Indian alcohol exports to the U.S. surged nearly 50% to $10.5 million. The high margins and lifestyle positioning of premium whiskies are helping absorb the blow. But the pain is real for small and mid-sized distillers, especially in low-duty categories like ethyl alcohol. Industry leaders are pushing both governments to strike a balance before long-term growth is jeopardized. And finally, Wipro is going all-in on AI—guided by a new face. Ali Wasti, a veteran deep-tech investor, has joined Wipro Ventures as co-managing partner. He replaces retiring co-founder Venu Pemmaraju. Wasti previously led investments at HPE's Pathfinder Ventures and brings deep AI and cybersecurity chops. Wipro just topped up its $500 million venture fund with another $200 million, aiming to back startups whose tech can be integrated into Wipro's services. With 37 portfolio companies—mostly U.S.-based—Wipro is now eyeing AI-powered enterprise solutions as the next frontier. In today's IT landscape, this isn't just strategy—it's survival.

Well, we're going to discuss that this week here on the podcast, from a new survey of nearly 400 experienced advisors and what they see in their offices, and we're going to share that with Tony and see how that relates to and what he thinks about it, compared to his practice. Let's get into it here on Plan With The Tax Man. Hey, everybody, welcome into the podcast. Thanks for hanging out with Tony Mauro and myself, as we talk investing, finance, and retirement, and we're going to break down this new survey. Well, it's not new. It actually came out December of '24, Tony, but we're going to run through this from Financial Advisor Magazine. So they did this interesting survey, so I'm going to get your thoughts on this, and we'll break down some data and see what you think. How you doing, bud?   Tony Mauro: I've been doing good.   Speaker 1: Yeah?   Tony Mauro: Spring is here   Speaker 1: Yeah, baby,   Tony Mauro: As we're recording this, it's staying light a little longer. It's kind of nice.   Speaker 1: Yeah. I know, right? So, everybody's just constantly with the time change thing, "Keep it. Don't keep it. Keep it. Don't keep it." All I know is seven o'clock, it's still light outside, and I'm happy.   Tony Mauro: That's right. I like it. Yeah.   Speaker 1: And you and I were just chatting at the time we're taping this podcast. In my neck of the woods, it is quite warm today, so I am totally digging it, so hope everybody has a good day and a good week. And don't forget to subscribe to us on whatever podcasting app you like using, by the way. Apple or Spotify or whatever, you can just simply type in Plan With the Tax Man in the app, or of course you can find the information at yourplanningpros.com. All right, Tony. Are you familiar with Financial Advisor Magazine?   Tony Mauro: I read it regularly, so yeah, I'm familiar.   Speaker 1: Okay. Well, they've got this new survey in there, like I was saying earlier in the tease there. 400 experienced advisors revealed biggest concerns, challenges, things of that nature from their clients, and everybody had an average of 20 plus years in business, so these are folks that have been around for a little while, so they've seen some ups and downs, so I'm going to give you some data here. Let's just talk through it a little bit. So seeking out a financial professional. Advisors in the survey said about 52% of their clients are looking for financial advice when it comes to retirement strategies. The other 34%, I know that's not totally 100, but 34% said they were just looking for someone to build wealth with. So, does those numbers strike you as interesting at all?   Tony Mauro: For us, I'd say our numbers are a little more skewed towards most of our clients are coming to us for retirement planning. Whether they're in the accumulation stage, that would be the accumulation stage, but I mean, the distribution stage, obviously, they're already there, but most of our clients, I mean, 34% sounds high for just-   Speaker 1: For just for wealth, yeah.   Tony Mauro: ... Building wealth. We're just asking them, "Well, okay. If you want to build wealth, and the next question is for what?" Then, of course they always say retirement, so maybe I'm just beating that a little wrong.   Speaker 1: Right, right. Well, now, to be fair, this is a wide range of ages, so it's not just retirees only that answered these questions, so it could be some younger folks too, right? So, that would make sense if you're in your thirties or forties, and you're just looking for wealth building, but I think if you find yourself in a position where, even if you're in your forties or even in your early fifties, if you're not starting to feel the need to discuss other things than just the wealth building, are you maybe working with the right person, right?   Tony Mauro: That's correct, because as you get, especially in the forties and, of course, in the fifties, there's other questions about the end game, which is retirement, but there's many, many other things that we tend to ask them and they started thinking about some of these stuff, anything from taking social security, to healthcare costs, to long-term care costs, where they want to be and how do they feel about it? There is ways to protect yourself and do things, and then as long as we give them that information and we feel like we help them understand for some of these upcoming big decisions they've got to make.   Speaker 1: Yeah, like RMDs, right? I mean, they'll be coming down the pike. What are you going to do with them? What does it do to your taxable situation? All those little things that we talk about often here on the program, so interesting that, again, 52%, about half the people surveyed, were looking for someone with help for retirement planning, which is good. I think maybe those numbers should be a little bit higher, but again, depends on the age of the person answering. Now, we often hear about people are woefully under-prepared for their future life, their elderly selves, but in the survey, over half of the advisors said the average client they see has around $760,000 saved for retirement, so three quarters of a million bucks, that's not chump change, so that's kind of encouraging to hear that there's over half the people that come in to see financial pros like yourself, Tony, are in pretty good shape.   Tony Mauro: Yeah, they are. I mean, for us, I would say our assets average is probably around that, but I would say it's a little bit skewed on the top end, because some of our clients end up having a lot more than that. Normally though, if you take the bulk of our clients, have assets well below that. Mostly what we're seeing, again, we're here in Iowa, but anywhere from $100,000 to $400,000, $500,000 is what they have saved at the time we end up talking about it, but we are generating a lot of interest from young people that really don't have much, and they're just starting out in that wealth building stage, and we don't turn them away. We don't have minimums that we require for assets. We just try to set the expectations of, your planning is going to be a little different than somebody that might come, that has more, one, because of the complexity, and two, because of just that you don't need that much hands-on advice.   Speaker 1: And every demographic. I mean, there's different cities, different demographics, but I think just in general it's good to see that on average, again, people are a little bit better, in pretty good shape, and I think that's what winds up happening often, Tony, when people do come in to see financial pros like yourself, most of them come in, going, "I don't know if I have enough," or "I don't know if I can retire." Then, when the numbers are ran, more times than not, and I talk to advisors all across the country, hundreds of them, and they all say the same thing. More times than not, people are in better shape than they realize.   Tony Mauro: I think so. Depending on their situation, we find that too, when we start running the numbers is, depending on what your goals are, as long as they're not outlandish-   Speaker 1: Right, right.   Tony Mauro: ... You're better off than you think, especially when you put the numbers to it and explain it to them, because generally, nobody does. If they want to do more, then that's when the planning comes in.   Speaker 1: And a lot of people, I do think they feel like, "Well, I got to get to the million." We've talked about that millions of times, as it is, but depending on what your situation is, as a couple, maybe somebody's got a pension, maybe you've got a good numbers in social security, maybe a million doesn't need to happen. Maybe $700,000 does get it done or $500,000 or whatever, but on average, I think it's still pretty good encouraging to see that people's asset totals are a little bit better than I would've thought, so that's nice to see. Top concerns, check this out. Surveyed advisors say their top concern, no surprise here, Tony, 38% outliving their assets. That's always the top dog, right?   Tony Mauro: For us, yeah. Well, actually, for us, it's the second one here, the reliable income streams.   Speaker 1: Oh, really?   Tony Mauro: Yeah. Just for us. Then, it's outliving the assets, but those two are the top two by far.   Speaker 1: Well, it was 38% for outliving their assets. 31%, right? So, pretty close for the reliable income streams. I mean, they kind of go hand in hand, right?   Tony Mauro: They do, because whether you're young or in your forties or fifties, that's the most important thing, because it's the end game of, do you want to spend every cent of your retirement income? And if so, that's a crapshoot a little bit because, depending on what you do, you could outlive them, and then you could end up with not a whole lot, but most of our retirees want to make sure that their assets, they've worked so hard to accumulate, that they can get a reasonable income stream from them, and then it goes hand in hand with so they don't outlive their assets, because they want to live off the income mostly.   Speaker 1: Well, think about, we were just talking about the number, the pot of money, the $760,000 or the million or whatever you put your number at, and the big bucket pot is not as important as the income streams, right?   Tony Mauro: That's correct.   Speaker 1: So again, $500,000 might get it done if the income streams are there that you need, so if you're both got a pension, maybe both got good social security or something like that, then you probably don't need as much, again, back to that point.   Tony Mauro: Back to that point of it all working it together, which comes back to the financial plan and knowing what those numbers are. My wife just got her, here in Iowa they have IPERS, so guess it's the government funded pension, which she's been in for a long time. I went and ran my own numbers again the other day, just about, here's the number that she's going to have that's going to come in when she's X age, and then what I wanted to know was, "Well, I want the number that we both can't outlive," and then I factored that in with social security and what else we have and say, "Okay." I mean, it was just a quick math, because I do it all the time. We're still in good shape.   Speaker 1: Nice, nice.   Tony Mauro: We're going to hit our goals.   Speaker 1: Nice.   Tony Mauro: So, that's what the planning is all about, but most people don't have even that starting point, because they've never taken the time to figure it out, and I think that's where the planner can help out a lot.   Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. Yeah, definitely. Now, the next one on here, Tony, pretty interesting. Again, keep in mind this survey was done December of '24, but future stock market downturns was only 12.5% as a concern. Now, today, if that was done this week, that we're taping this podcast, it might be a little different; however, I do want to bring up at the time we're talking right this second, Tony, the market's been about down about 10%. You and I were just chatting about that at the time we're taping this podcast, but at the time, I just pulled it up while we're chatting, it's up right now 1% today on the news that the inflation numbers were a little bit better than expected.   They came in a little bit better, and it's funny because I was looking at the news articles. Just type in S&P 500, and you get the immediate news responses, right? And this morning it was all the sky is falling doom and gloom. Here, this afternoon, and this is just after one o'clock. We're taping this eastern time, and the inflation numbers came out, and now all the news stories are, "Outlook, much better. Market wraps. Three things that could spark a quick recovery." All the news is positive, so you got to be really careful with that stuff, right? Because they're just in it to kind of capitalize on whatever the thing at that moment happens to be.   Tony Mauro: It is. With the news, as fast as it comes out, that's exactly what it is. Really, a lot of this, of course, we try to explain to our clients, take the long-term view. This is very short-term.   Speaker 1: Yeah. 10% is a normal correction. If that's all it winds up being, right? That's not a big deal in the grand scheme, right?   Tony Mauro: It is, and I just sent out, basically, a chart that I just got out of one of the research magazines, and you've probably seen them before, but I just sent it out to all of our clients, just the old cost of timing the market, and they have a chart, January of 3 to now, "You just invested $10,000 and just left it in a S&P 500 ETF. You would have $64,000, and now if you missed the 60 best days in all those 10 years, you would actually have lost money and only have $4,205," so-   Speaker 1: It is a long-term proposition, right?   Tony Mauro: It's a long-term proposition. You miss the 10 best days, and you only have $29,000, so you can't afford to try to say, "The market's coming to an end. Let's get out. Let's go all to cash." In my opinion. We tend to try to keep clients focused on that long-term goal, because short-term Fluctuations are just part of it.   Speaker 1: Yeah. Not to get too political or get off on a tazza, but I feel like sometimes we kind of give people a little bit of both sides of the coin. I was just watching somebody talking, who typically they're slant when they're interviewing or they're asking questions is typically right leaning, but they decided to kind of jump on the market downturn and said, "Hey, listen. With a lot of the layoffs that are happening in the government, people are obviously concerned about retirement, and now the market's been falling. It's kind of hard to factor in, kind of feel confident that you could even retire."   They took it from that angle for people being laid off, and it just occurred to me, through all the years of talking with you, and it's like if people being laid off today are worried about the stock market, like this week, they probably didn't have a good strategy in place, because typically your market monies are your later monies, right? So, if you're thinking about early retirement, and this was the conversation piece, was the early retirement buyout, should that be a factor, Tony? Should the market monies be a factor if you're thinking about an early retirement buyout? Because it's still going to be later money. God willing, you're going to be retired for 20 or 30 years, right?   Tony Mauro: It is, and I think you have to keep that retirement type money in that mindset. There's a lot of people. Obviously, it's getting a lot of news in the federal government.   Speaker 1: Sure, and nobody likes it when it goes down. I get it. Right.   Tony Mauro: And nobody likes to see people in masse losing their jobs, let alone in the private sector, but the bad part is it's part of life, and we have to kind of wait and see how all this is going to shake out. It's kind of only been going on for, what? 2, 3 months here?   Speaker 1: 30, 40 days. Yeah.   Tony Mauro: Yeah, and so we just have to kind of wait and see, and hopefully, at the government level, if things get to a point, they've got the mechanisms in place to help turn it around. That's what they're all they're, supposed to be doing.   Speaker 1: Right, and I guess my stance on that was, really my question more was I think people, sometimes it's when we have downturns, we immediately focus on the negative.   Tony Mauro: Oh, yeah.   Speaker 1: And again, it's a human reaction, because nobody likes to see it go down, but if you have a plan and a strategy in place, you do realize that these are your later monies. It's a little easier not to completely freak out, right? At least hopefully, and again, 10% is a normal correction. Now, we don't know if this is the end. We don't know if it'll continue to drop or not at the time we're taping this, but it's just simply pump the brakes a little bit and realize that we were super over-weighted anyway, so some kind of correction was due anyhow.   Tony Mauro: It was, and you look at most individual company stocks, valuations were really high.   Speaker 1: They're all high, all the PEIs are high.   Tony Mauro: Oh, boy.   Speaker 1: And tech, really. Tech was really bad.   Tony Mauro: Really bad, and if you're in mutual funds, and that's their objective to go buy those, they're buying these at high valuations, and all this stuff kind of comes into play. But I agree with you. I think that this is all the more reason to have a plan, number one, and keep an eye on it, mark, watch it, and work with your advisor.   Speaker 1: Sure. Yeah. If you need to de-risk a little bit, hey, nothing wrong with that, right?   Tony Mauro: Yeah, no.   Speaker 1: But we've also been saying that for a while now. I mean, you're talking about the S&P. That's usually the average. That's the index that people cut and your industry use. The all time, 52-week high was at 6,100, and it's at 56 and some change right now. So, again, it's only about 500 points off of that. So again, not a massive downturn, but it's all about perspective and maybe peeling some risk off, which again, a lot of advisors have been saying for a while now, "Hey, the market's been up 22 plus percent the last number of years. Maybe it's time to take a little bit off the top there, just to kind of think about that."   Tony Mauro: Right.   Speaker 1: So, anyway, I won't beat that horse any longer. We'll move on. Healthcare costs was only an 8.5% as a top client concern, Tony. 8.5% on a healthcare cost; however, the advisors, themselves, feel like it should be more like 50% of their perspective client base should be thinking about healthcare costs. What do you think about that?   Tony Mauro: I think, for me, most of our clients that we work with are really concerned about healthcare costs and what it's going to be when they retire, and I think many clients, my older clients are starting and they think about it in their fifties, but I think even the young, which are not thinking about it, and they're still in the accumulation stage, should at least make that part of their plan as that boogie man, so to speak, is out there, from what we know today and make sure that you're factoring that in. But yeah, some of these costs are, as we always say, nothing goes down, but it seems like healthcare costs, and of course cost of education seem to go up way more.   Speaker 1: They always stay up. Yeah.   Tony Mauro: And so, I think it's a big concern, because you got to factor that in when you get off your company's healthcare plan or whatever you've got, and you've got to make it work. It seems like most of these people, like my dad included, who's now 83, boy, he uses the healthcare system a lot, because he's constantly at the doctor.   Speaker 1: For sure, and if you're not having the conversation, only eight and a half percent find it to be a top concern, then you could be setting yourself up for some heartache a little later on when an incident does happen, or if not to you, to your spouse, right? Because that's oftentimes what happens when we talk with advisors, is they don't get a plan together, especially for long-term care. One half of the relationship gets nailed with it, and the other half winds up suffering at the end, right? So got to have a strategy. You at least got to be talking about it. I know it's no fun.   Tony Mauro: At least talking. Yeah.   Speaker 1: Yeah. I know it's no fun, but you at least got to start putting some things together in that grouping. One more thing here, and then we'll wrap it up this week on the podcast for this, Tony, but working in retirement. According to the survey, excuse me, an average of 63% of clients surveyed that are age 55 or older, plan to work beyond age 65. They plan to work into their seventies. Interesting, right? So, 63%, more than half, want to work or are going to work past 70.   Now, the reasons are not necessarily because they were panicked about the market, because again, this was done last year, the December of last year, but I think there was two main things that stuck out. They felt like they didn't know if they had enough to totally feel comfortable retiring. 48% of those clients felt that their savings maybe weren't quite enough to live on, and the other 40% said, "Well, they were doing it for the health insurance," to our point a second ago. So this is where, again, a plan and the strategy's got to come into play, get the numbers ran, so you can even find out where you stand.   Tony Mauro: Yeah, because if you don't, then you are really just grasping at straws there, and you're just hoping that it works out.   Speaker 1: And you want to keep working, but what if your body goes new?   Tony Mauro: Yeah, your body goes new. And then, I would say, for us, probably on average, our percentage of clients, 55 to 65 that say they want to work for us, I would say it's probably around 35, 40%, but our clients that are 65 and older, our average is well above this 30% that are actually still working. Ours is probably closer to about 45%, but it's because they want to. They have a plan.   Speaker 1: Which is totally great, yeah.   Tony Mauro: And they just want to get out of the house.   Speaker 1: Sure.   Tony Mauro: So, they actually love it. They don't have to work for the money. They just want to do something and just stay involved in the world a little bit.   Speaker 1: Right, and I think that's where we want to be, right? That's where we'd like to be, having that work optional decision, but I think finding out that a lot of people are doing it for the health insurance coverage, certainly a little daunting there to think about, or they just don't know that their numbers are good enough to retire, like we started out with.   Tony Mauro: Yeah. I always wonder, when I see an older retiree working somewhere, if they're there because they want to or they have to, especially if they're at somewhere where you'd see, I don't know, maybe an extreme example in maybe the fast food industry.   Speaker 1: More physically demanding job? Yeah.   Tony Mauro: Yeah, yeah. More physically demanding. It's like maybe you just always wanted to do this, and just have no stress and just wanted to get out of the house, or are you really working because you have to?   Speaker 1: Now, that's an interesting point. Now, I've got a friend of mine who retired from a very stressful, big corporate position, managing a lot of people, so on and so forth, and he took a job at a supermarket, stocking the shelves, right? Literally, goes in, six o'clock in the morning, something like that. Works for four hours a day. They grab the baskets of stuff he needs to refill, and he goes out and stocks the shelves, and he said, "Dude, I am so happy. I don't have to manage anyone. No one's reporting to me. I know what I'm supposed to do. They trust me to just grab my stuff and do it."   I said, "But it sounds like such a," sometimes we have this stigma. It's like, "Oh. He must be working stocking shelves because he has to, because he's in his late sixties."   Tony Mauro: Right, right.   Speaker 1: And it's like, no, he's doing it because it gets him out of the house. He's like, "For me, the menial tasks helps me free my mind up," because he didn't have to think. He just does, so everybody's got their thing, right? It's like, don't judge somebody, just because you see them doing something.   Tony Mauro: Absolutely not, yeah. That's why I always want to ask them, because I don't want to judge them, but from what I hear from our clients, those types of work, which is most of the clients that I have, that's what they do is that kind of stuff. It is just menial stuff, because the one on one thing is I don't want a lot of pressure, I don't want to have to think.   Speaker 1: Right.   Tony Mauro: I just want to get out, do something, feel like I'm contributing, and talk to people.   Speaker 1: Your body gets to move. He gets to talk to people. Yeah.   Tony Mauro: And they enjoy it. The same type of retiree, he drives for the shuttle at my car dealer, and he absolutely loves it. He's like 78. He works for about five hours a day. He drives people around and talks to them, and he goes home. He loves it.   Speaker 1: No stress, no fuss, no muss, right?   Tony Mauro: Nope, nope.   Speaker 1: So yeah, so interesting stuff in today's conversation around this survey done from Financial Advisor Magazine. We'll put a link into it in the show descriptions if you'd like to check it out for yourself. That way, you can read the online survey as well, but at the end of the day, Tony, you just got to see what it is that you have and what it is that you need for your situation, because everybody's situation is different. Tony's is different than mine, and mine's different than yours, and so on and so forth, right? So, get yourself onto the calendar folks. Have a conversation with Tony at Yourplanningpros.com.

What do George Harrison and Big Worm from the movie Friday have in common? Messing with their money is like messing with their emotions. But Big Perm, I mean Big Worm, doesn't write banging rock tunes about it. George's "Taxman," the lead off track on Revolver, finds the guitarist squaring off against the greedy hand of the man for taking 98% (NINETY EIGHT) percent of the Beatles income, income they'd actually (unlike so many millionaires and billionaires) worked INCREDIBLY hard to achieve. It's a fantastically sardonic lyric, with a brilliant performance by the band (Paul's basically inventing psychedelic bass parts here while also providing a ripping guitar solo). It sets the tone for Revolver by moving away from the romantic theme of so many of their songs, into a new, cool, and darker world. Joining us this week is the wonderful Vinyl Benjy! If you're on social media and follow music accounts or record accounts, the odds are high you've seen his smiling, pleasant self showcasing records and cool trivia about them. His record collection is swoonworthy, and the dude knows his stuff! We talk about the joys of record collecting, the importance of chap stick, George's financial gripes, and Julia's got a real spicy hot take for us! Check Benjy out on Instagram @vinylbenjy and TikTok @vinylbenjy! What do you think about "Taxman" at 79? Too high? Too low?

The most streamed Beatles song – 700 million plays more than any other – is not by Lennon/McCartney but George who, as author Seth Rogovoy points out, is still widely considered “an economy-class Beatle” though his contributions were central to the success of their records. Seth's new book ‘Within You Without You: Listening to George Harrison' sets out to right this monstrous wrong! As does this conversation with the two of us which covers … … did My Sweet Lord's court case puncture his sense of ambition? … how he changed Taxman for American audiences. … the statement made by starting All Things Must Pass with a Dylan/Harrison composition. … how he was fleeced by not one but two managers - Allen Klein and Denis O'Brien. … what we learnt from watching ‘Get Back'. … Broadway ballads, Vaudeville, jazz and the solo on ‘Til There Was You. … remortgaging Friar Park for Life Of Brian and pushing for the Anthology “payday”. … his glorious spiritual/material contradiction – “the Pisces sign is two fish going in opposite directions”. … a social mobility that John and Paul both envied. … falling out of love with live performance. … the beliefs of his early ‘20s he sustained all his life. … and the staples of George Harrison's Jukebox. Order Seth's book here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Within-You-Without-Listening-Harrison/dp/019762782XFind out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Kirk's son sends an update from his Beatles college course, Kirk and Paul play Boy Band Bank Heist with New Edition, and there's this trivia quiz about music.

Big Game Canadian Whiskey 100 Proof This started out as an experiment. We were going to take 3 year old Canadian Whiskey and age it in Taxman Belgian Style Dubbel barrels for 6 months. Well, projects and schedules intervened and we never quite got around to bottling it. Fast Forward 3 YEARS, and what we have today might be the most perfectly engineered flavor-forward Canadian whiskey we've ever tasted. For starters it spent 3 years in Taxman freshly dumped Belgian Dubbel barrels. Secondly, we bottled it at 100 proof, not very common for a Canadian whiskey, and third, it's completely unfiltered, so what you're getting is a masterclass in Canadian and local craft beer barrel ageing. Bottom line, it's damn good with sweet caramels and vanilla dominating the nose, then exploding with juicy Canadian rye flavor complimented perfectly by the rich sweet maltiness from the dubbel casks. This stuff is LEGIT, and once it's gone, it's gone!
