Tune into one of the television stations listed below to get live retirement advice from Brian Quaranta!
So, they created this thing called an income rider. Basically, what it does is it pays somebody an income stream for the rest of their life. But it costs money. Why would you pay money for something like this? Well, the benefit of paying the money for it is because if you’re taking that money out of the account, and the balance of that account goes to zero, while you’re still alive, the insurance company will continue to pay you the income.
Okay, I understand if you delay it, you’re going to get the most amount. Yeah. But when we look at the plan, and we run the numbers, if they were to delay taking Social Security, and they would still want to retire, they would spend down so much of their retirement assets.
And so, our job is to first understand what the purpose of that money is, right? We always like to say purpose determines the placement of the money. But we always also address to people that there’s only four things that money can really do for you. Number one, it can provide you with income, number two, it can grow. Number three, it can be saved, or number four, it can be liquid, and you can have access to it.

So, you know, between the husband Social Security and the wife Social Security, they were going to be at about $60,000 a year. Okay. And then, but they needed about $80,000 a year to live off of. So that means they needed $20,000 a year in additional income.
Now when you go to pull it out, it’s going to count as income. So, let’s suppose that you need $1,000 A month in income. Let’s suppose that right now you’re in a 20% tax bracket. So, when you pull that $1,000 out, you are not going to get $1,000, you’ve got to pay 20% in taxes on it. So you’re only going to net $800.
So those are the things that you do see what a good plan should be able to address any level of inflation, yes, six and a half 7% inflation wherever the numbers at right now. It is a large jump. But with a good plan, you should be able to absorb that inflation rate, at least temporarily.
And nobody has taken the time to show them how to use the money as a tool. The money is a tool to actually accomplish something in your life called freedom. That’s what it’s designed to do. It’s designed to give you freedom. It’s designed to give you your time back.
But most people don’t do tax planning. This is a very overlooked area of financial planning, we’ve got a major problem because most people are putting money into tax deferred accounts like IRAs 401 K’s 403 B’s, they’re getting tax deductions, but all the growth on the money. And all the money they plan on taking out in the future is all going to be taxable.
