THE TOTAL INCOME BLUEPRINT

We've worked with hundreds of families over the years; and what we've found is that there is a lot of confusion when it comes to structuring a retirement income portfolio.  When you transition from paying your bills with a salary or wages to relying on a  retirement portfolio, the rules change.  This is where the Total Income Blueprint comes in.  The Total Income Blueprint includes four pillars:

1

How do you implement a strategy to withstand market volatility while achieving acceptable rates of return?

2

Retirement Withdrawal Strategy 

You need clarity on how much you can withdrawal from what accounts, and when.  The 4% rule has been the "Golden Rule" of retirement income planning for the last 30 years; and we talk with families all the time that are planning on using this withdrawal strategy.  As mentioned earlier, the rules have changed.  Today's market volatility combined with economic uncertainty make the 4% rule a risky strategy that could result in running out of money in retirement.  The Total Income Blueprint incorporates alternatives to the 4% rule to ensure that you never run out of money in retirement.

Tax Planning & Estate Maximization

We are in a historically low tax rate environment.  It may not seem that way, but if you look at the history of marginal tax rates in the United States, that is the truth.  Our national debt and spending continues to skyrocket and it's only going to get worse as more Baby Boomers retire. 

 

Why is this important?  Do you think we can remain in our current low tax environment much longer?  I don't.  Are you like the other 90% of Americans that keep the majority of their assets in qualified plans and IRAs? 

 

If so, you need to understand tax-rate risk.  A mentor of mine once told me, "If you have all your retirement assets in a 401k, 403b, or IRAs, you are essentially in a business partnership with the IRS where the IRS gets to vote every year on how much of your profit they get to keep before you get paid". 

 

Does that sound like a partnership you want to be in?  The Total Income Blueprint incorporates tax strategies that take advantage of historically low interest rates to ensure that if tax rates increase, it will have a minimal impact on your retirement.  This also allows you to pass on the maximum amount to your children, grandchildren, family, or charity if that is important to you.

Long Term Care Alternatives

If you've looked into traditional Long Term Care insurance, you know that it's expensive, hard to qualify for, and the premiums can increase over time.  The biggest issue with traditional Long Term Care Insurance; however, is that if you pass away peacefully in your sleep, those premiums are gone. 

They don't go back to your family or charity.  What most people, and most advisors, don't understand is that there are Long Term Care alternatives that address this issue so that if you end up not having a need for Long Term Care, those premiums are not lost and pass on to the people that matter most to you.  The Total Income Blueprint utilizes these alternatives into your plan.
