Memorial to all those who gave it all

 

Memorial to all those who gave it all so we could see Congress avoid doing its job

 

 

Graduation gift that lasts a lifetime

Show your teen the easy way to compound their money to a $million tax-FREE fund. Make sure you teach your kids how to create wealth the easy way. My parents were not investors. At my first job, I had no clue which investment option to use for my 401k contribution and company match. The HR person told me to put it into the “safe” stable value fund. That was the worst choice at my age I learned later when I got my securities licenses. If I had followed their advice I would have ended up with about $150,000 instead of a Wealth Reserve of $877,233 about 33 years later. I have used this 'Wealth Reserve' as I call it to have funds to buy low-cost insurance, to help buy two homes and 5 cars with higher down payments or cash, and now to receive $2,900 a month in retirement supplement. Now your child can build an account that provides tax-FREE education and retirement income too. The stock market provides about 11% a year over time: double your money every 7-9 years. Only the buy and hold strategy works; market timing pays the advisor/broker’s fees.

Why use a simple low-cost 500 index fund?

The best retirement outcomes seem to be a fund that provides 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 year returns near 10%: 8.71, 14.08, 10.90,            11.64,  9.53. Many advisors and fund managers would be happy with this outcome for their fees. Unfortunately, they can’t work for nothing. Their firm needs your money too. Some of us put our long-term retirement money in this kind of index fund because we learned the hard way that advisor costs reduce our gains dollar for dollar. If the advisor takes their annual percent of your portfolio plus buys and sells securities for your account, they will take more of your money. Studies show that over time ‘managed’ equity accounts only produce 3.79% annually vs 11% from a low-cost S&P 500 fund. You can see that you will have a hard time reaching your retirement fund goal using an advisor. Less than 10% of Americans are taking advice from a financial advisor and for good reason. Some give the advisor a small portion of our portfolio to see if they can find the ‘needle in the haystack,’ a huge hit. The money the advisor takes in fees and trades may pay for their advice. However, remember that advisors are employed to make their firms money not to make you rich. Their legal standard of conduct is to “act in investor’s best interest.” However, if they really did that they would put every client into a low-cost market index fund. The advisor and firm would be out of business in a month.

Are “interval funds” right for you?

With high interest rates and volatile equity markets roiling portfolios, allocations are shifting with cash, fixed income, private credit and other alternatives. As credit conditions tighten, alts look very attractive. It’s a trend that could accelerate further with the rising popularity of “interval funds.” An interval fund is a type of Investment Company that periodically offers to repurchase its shares from shareholders. That is, the fund periodically offers to buy back a stated portion of its shares from shareholders. Shareholders are not required to accept these offers and sell their shares back to the fund. High yields are the main reason investors are attracted to interval funds. Because of the restricted selling opportunities, an interval fund should be considered a long-term, mostly illiquid investment. Minimum investments are often between $10,000 and $25,000 and have expense ratios as high as 3%. These are very expensive “bond” funds. If you have not been paying attention, low-cost equity funds are up over 9% so far this year. Volatility creates value for “long-term mostly illiquid” investors. “Intervals” are how advisors make their money; not yours. Ignore the “noise” that feeds financial firms. Study: when investors believe prices are bound to fall, markets actually reward the brave.

Best investment strategy

Dollar-cost averaging: buy more when price is low and buy less when price is high. The logic of this approach appeals to long-term investors as they say, aha! Studies show that DCA works best using the power of compounding—you are not buying and selling. This strategy may help more women feel comfortable investing since you don’t have to “bet the ranch” on one tip to create a great retirement fund. Vanguard research shows that the same process and logic that investors instinctively use to choose everything from a toaster to a surgeon simply doesn’t work when it comes to the investment markets. Buying the BEST funds over the past 1, 3, 5 years usually means your choices will under perform in the next few years. Diversification is probably a necessary evil. But by sticking with the same diversified funds—buying more when the price is low—assures you of picking up bargains for the next cycle. The only way to make sure you follow the strategy is to have your mutual fund trustee debit your checking account on the same day every month automatically.

Use your Social Security supplement

In case Treasury holds your benefit in June, use your emergency SS supplement for at least part of the missed income. The last time this political game happened, readers asked me how we can prepare for next time. Since Congress and the president get paid no matter what they decide, I told them to act now to build a Build Your Own “Lifestyle” Security Fund. Most retirees tell me that they wish they had a supplement fund so they felt more secure in retirement emergencies. What is this fund? Social Security will exhaust its funds in about 2034. Most workers retire with less than $100,000 for retirement. The largest asset owned is a personal residence. Social Security is the major source of income for retirees. The average benefit is $1,076 per month--$12,912 a year—less if they started early! Income taxes will climb because the size of government obligations will never shrink. Ten years of tax cuts and two wars have to be paid for by someone. 44 million Americans have pension plans that may be at risk. Why wait for disaster? It is time for us to build our own financial system.

Easiest way to clear excessive credit card debt

I was able to eliminate some cc debt by cutting out spending on things I no longer needed. This means I was able to do get rid of the debt faster and without giving up anything I enjoy. I shop for car insurance every two years because there are insurers that change marketing strategies that benefit me. I saved about $600 on two cars last time. I got rid of my overpriced financial advisor and saved $1,000 in the first year. Salaried advisors are available at some large mutual fund firms like Vanguard. No cost for advice since I have my retirement portfolio there. When I need other advice, I ask my financial planner who charges by the hour not 1-2% of my whole portfolio annually. She always answers by phone call in an hour. Recently one of my friends told me his inherited portfolio still has his parents’ broker taking his money even though the broker has done nothing for him for the last 5 years. He doesn’t know how to “cut the cord” even when I explained he is being robbed and he can move it with one call.

How to build a retirement fund you can live on

Many working folks have an easy way to build a retirement fund. And some employers will actually help them pay for it. A low-cost 401k or 403b can create a decent fund over time. Even when they have to change jobs, their money can easily be transferred and continued to build big. The secret to doing this is consistent contributions from their pay and using a low-cost stock index option. They can earn over 10% a year. Compounding (no borrowing or surrenders) their money over their working lives can produce a $million fund. That happens by them contributing only $105,000 over 35 years to a low-cost (<0.5% annual fee) index fund that matches the S&P 500 index. According to Warren Buffett, compounding helps explains his investing success.

Buffett explains: https://www.amazon.com/Warren-Buffetts-Vanguard-Funds-Retirement/dp/1496148592

How to live on retirement income

Most people are trying to grow their retirement nest egg to an amount that can sustain them with income through 20-30 years of the rest of their lives. But how to do that: Many retirees call on their advisor or broker to make the changes from portfolio growth to portfolio income. Clearly, to take on this process by themselves is daunting. However, it is not as difficult as it seems. It requires transferring growth assets to income assets. The easiest way to do this is to slowly sell growth funds and buy income funds. A simple example is to exchange the low-cost stock market index fund for a low-cost (0.16%) balanced fund. These funds can provide about 4% annual yield with about 60% bonds. Yield is earnings generated on an investment over a particular period of time. Yield includes the interest earned or dividends received from holding securities. Of course the yield may plummet if an advisor buys and sells individual securities to produce income. Also individual stock dividends and bond yields can rise and fall over time so an advisor may produce taxes on the gains as the portfolio is traded. There is a tax-FREE version of this strategy that may provide higher income without taxes for some folks who plan ahead.

Free financial planning services

Since there are several ways to buy financial advice—paying 1% of total portfolio whether it help you or not, commissions on products you may not need, and strait hourly fees like a lawyer—you need to know about the firms that offer help for FREE. Yes, FREE but you must have enough assets to make it worth their while. So for those who have already gotten to the $250K level, this can help you keep more. Check Schwab, Vanguard or Fidelity Investments for the terms of FREE advice from a properly credentialed person. Some Robo-advisors offer one-on-one coaching calls. Some firms provide unlimited phone access to CFPs. The account minimum is $100,000.  Your target-date fund will get you ready for retirement income by lowering your risk of losing money but usually does not offer transfer to an fund the provides income directly. You will need to make the transfer to start the flow of income directly to your bank account. Most firms can do this. They also take care of IRS reporting of IRA/pension mandatory RMD distributions.

How to beat inflation’s devastation effect on your retirement fund

Even in a recession-talk period of the market, you can still keep current with your goal of growing your wealth. Unless you have retreated from the market to fixed assets, your stock index fund is back to 9.78% YTD. Even if it falls back by year end, you may have beat inflation. Since you have no guarantee that fixed rate products will keep your fund growing, at least the majority of your portfolio should be in the market. Stocks can go up too. Most studies show that you are always better off staying in the market than trying to time the market. Are you really smarter than everyone else by moving your money at the right time? No. History shows your advisor does NOT know any more than you. In fact most analyst agree that paying someone to guess the future will cost you up to 63% of what you would have had if you had just left your portfolio alone. Fidelity found that the accounts that did the best were held by the dead or by folks who forgot they had their account.
