Easiest way to make sure you have enough later
The most common regret most retirees have at the time of retirement is “I should have started earlier.” Time in the market, for your money to multiply, is FREE and is the easiest way to guarantee you will have enough in retirement. Social Security is indexed to inflation so your lifetime benefits increase to your maximum by age 70. You will have Social Security benefits but you may not have a paid pension and a private investment portfolio. Only 7% of retirees have all 3 sources of retirement income. So unless you act early in your career or working life, you will not have enough later unless you earn a lot of money late in your career. Example: $100 invested once a month by age 20 may grow to $2,600,000 by age 70. That amount would have the buying power of about $500,000 after inflation. We use the average return of 11% per year because over time that is the return of the overall stock market in a popular low-cost index fund. If you wait to age 35, your money grows to $500,000 by age 70 but is worth only about $230,000. Uncle Sam can help by using a special IRS retirement account that provides income FREE of taxes.

Tax-deferral or tax-Free?
Whether you have a 401k or 403b at work or self-managed IRA account, you have the choice of reducing your taxable income now or later. Which is better for you is a personal choice. Many younger investors want all of their lifetime investment gains to be FREE of tax because after investing $250 a month for 35 working years, they want to spend ALL $2,000,000 of their nest egg. They tell me that paying 22% of their current relatively low income is easier than paying higher rates on their retirement income later. They think rates must go up since current national spending has made the national debt almost impossible to pay off. Most wealthy folks pay less than most working people. With inflation, they believe they will need every penny of their $2 million just to live comfortably. Many employer plans offer the tax-FREE version of their matching retirement plans. If your employer does not offer this plan, you may be better off using the IRA version offered through your mutual fund provider. Most large complexes like Vanguard, Schwab and Fidelity offer low-cost funds within this tax-FREE IRA type.

Advisors are paid to worry not to be right
Some think stocks haven’t hit bottom yet. Some think crypto is in trouble. Some think stocks have already hit bottom. Some think inflation will be a threat. Some think it will end soon. As usual, those who are paid the big bucks to know what is going to happen with your money don’t know. So what are you going to do? Will you continue to pay a lot of your investment dollars for advisor fees or give up your earnings for the year to your advisor’s haircut—right off the top of your account? For savvy investors the truth is that costs matter. If you earn 4% as some wise people predict, and you pay 1-2% of your whole account in your annual fee, you may have little to show by Jan 23. If on the other hand you are a buy and hold low-cost fund investor, you will have a respectable year. Over your investing lifetime, you may give away 63% of what you would have had if you use an advisor managed account. DALBAR the unbiased tracking firm showed that over time, managed funds earn just 3.79% compared with a low-cost index fund of 11%.

Has your advisor kept your account positive this year?
Most of the securities markets are negative. You pay your advisor big bucks to keep you out of the negative. Only the energy sector has provided a positive score so far—up 8%. Have they moved you out of the Growth sector so you avoided the negative 16% down turn in account value? So maybe Buffett and the other advisors who do not charge you for their advice are correct. Investors who have researched how long-term investments succeed have come to the conclusion that trading and chasing yield are dangerous. Analysis: over your lifetime, “that little 2 percent fee will erode 63 percent of what you would have had.” Paying someone to manage your money is a $ billion scam. Buffett says: “A very low-cost index is going to beat a majority of the amateur-managed money or professionally-managed money.” Fidelity study: accounts forgotten by investors during their lifetimes did the best. In fact, the average investor earns only 3.79% annually (vs market returns of 11.06%) according to DALBAR’s QAIB.

Women investors are not handicapped by testosterone
Women are more patient. They don’t think they are ‘masters of the universe.’ They are not as overconfident as men. They don’t buy high and sell low when disappointed by their broker’s tip or the TV stock promoter’s hype. They are not driven to prove how “smart” they are at a party. They are not seduced by male salesmen. “In finance, if you’re certain of anything, you’re out of your mind,” according to neurologist, William J. Bernstein. In fact, stock market predicting is more like quantum’s uncertainty principle: no one can predict the position/velocity of a multivariant. Patience and time are more important to allow the Miracle of Compounding to work. 60-70% of the most successful self-made female billionaires in the world are Chinese.

Have you taught your child how to make tax-FREE money?
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 $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 buy two homes and 5 cars with higher down payments or cash, and now to receive $2,500 a month in retirement supplement. Now your child can build an account that provides tax-FREE retirement income too.
