Maximize Your Retirement Savings by Utilizing Annuities and Avoiding Probate

One of the benefits to an annuity is avoiding probate when you die. You designate a beneficiary and they will receive the benefit directly from the insurance company without going through probate. There are many different annuity types and companies that offer annuities. Even though I talk about the benefits, an annuity might not be right for you. Make sure you are always working with a licensed professional who specializes in annuities and can help you determine if an annuity is right for you. Otherwise, you might end up with one that is not ideal for you and your retirement. There are many different annuity types and companies that offer annuities.

Retirement: Understanding Social Security Benefits

#SocialSecurity #Retirement #Retirementincome Should I retire now at age 62 and collect Social Security benefits, or should I wait until full retirement age? Answer: There's no right time to begin collecting Social Security benefits, but the age at which you begin receiving benefits will affect how much retirement income you have, so you should weigh the consequences carefully. Keep in mind that if you collect Social Security before your full retirement age, your benefit will be permanently reduced. Depending on the year you were born, you'll receive between 25 and 30 percent less per month if you collect benefits at age 62 than if you wait until full retirement age to begin collecting benefits. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that collecting benefits at age 62 is unwise. In fact, unless you live to an especially old age, you may actually end up with more money if you start collecting Social Security benefits at age 62 than if you wait until full retire...

Is converting from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA wise?

(972) 417-2855 Get Whiteboard Animated Videos like this one for your business here: (619) 850-5835 Here are some important factors to consider before Converting Funds from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA Roth IRAs provide tax-free income and eliminate the need for Required Minimum Distributions. But the conversion of funds from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is considered a taxable distribution, subject to federal income tax and a possible penalty. If your funds consist of investment earnings and tax-deductible contributions, then converting your traditional IRA funds to a Roth IRA will result in federal income tax due on those funds. Paying the tax due with IRA funds reduces the amount that grows tax free in the Roth IRA. IRA funds used to pay the tax may be subject to additional income tax and possibly a penalty. However, if you pay the tax due with non-IRA funds, that allows more dollars to be funneled into the tax-free Roth IRA. We can help you determine wheth...

What is a “Stretch IRA” and why should you consider it?

(972) 417-2855 Get Whiteboard Animated Videos like this one for your business here: What is a “Stretch IRA” and why should you consider it? The term "stretch IRA" has become a popular way to refer to an IRA, either traditional or Roth, with provisions that make it easier to "stretch out" the time that funds can stay in your IRA after your death, even over several generations. Earnings in an IRA grow tax deferred. Over time, this tax-deferred growth can help you accumulate significant retirement funds. If you're able to support yourself in retirement without the need to tap into your IRA, you may want to continue this tax-deferred growth for as long as possible. In fact, you may want your heirs to benefit--to the greatest extent possible--from this tax-deferred growth as well. But funds can't stay in your IRA forever. Required minimum distribution rules will apply after your death. For traditional IRAs, minimum distributions are also requ...

Is the Roth IRA still the best option for your fixed annuity when considering the SECURE Act?

So is the Roth IRA the best option for your fixed annuity? I mentioned in a prior video that a Roth IRA provides the best tax consequences for your fixed annuity of all of your choices. And if your fixed annuity provides lifetime income, you have a double benefit of favorable tax benefits and never outliving your money! Who could want for more? Well, let me throw in one more curveball. What are the consequences of a fixed annuity if it is in an inherited Roth IRA? You generally don’t have to pay taxes on an inherited Roth IRA. So you would think there are no ramifications from the 10-year rule of the SECURE Act for non-spouses since the intent is for the government to get their tax dollars sooner. But there are… If the SECURE Act is a factor for an inherited Roth IRA, could there possibly be a better choice than a Roth IRA when considering multi-generational wealth building in addition to tax benefits and lifetime income?
