Episode #37 Taxes In Retirement: Are You Really Planning On Being Poorer?
23:53
 

In this week's episode:

Is your whole retirement planning strategy based on the assumption that you're going to be in a lower tax bracket upon retirement? 

In this episode, I talk with John Rohrhoff from JR financial services about income taxes and retirement tax myths. Also, why many individuals do not account for future potential taxes when making financial decisions, today.

We cover these questions & issues, that you should be thinking about right now:

  •  Do you believe income tax rates in the future will be higher or lower than they are today? 
  •  Are social security benefits taxable? 
  •  Is your goal for retirement, to live the same lifestyle that you do right now? 
    •  If tax rates do go up, why do most people deter most of their retirement savings to pay taxes later? 
  •  Is “compound growth” real or fiction? 
    •  Could compounding growth result in compounding taxes owed and offset itself? 
  •  Why should you be thinking about possible future income taxes, when you’re making important financial decisions?

About the show

Planning isn’t just about getting your will done or going to see your financial planner once a year. SMART planning involves an educated process that incorporates the latest in legal, financial, and healthcare strategies to work toward the most desirable result – the quality of life, throughout your entire life.

The biggest problem, too often, is that “traditional” notions of what is right to do in both legal and financial estate planning don’t always work in today’s world.

I created SmartPlanning101 to help all of us learn how to be better planners for the future – and stay in control. To learn how and when we need to challenge the “status quo” and “conventional wisdom.” To be in a nutshell- “smart planners.”
