Welcome to all Things Financial, the show that helps upgrade your financial literacy. Trey Peterson and Yellow SE Coutts are retirement planning specialists here to provide a unique and conservative approach to managing your money. Now here are your hosts, Trey Peterson and Yellow SE Coutts.
[00:00:37] Speaker A: Welcome to the opens Financial podcast. Today we talk about solving common problems for pre retirees or those in and nearing retirement. For a lot of you, retirement is closer than you think. And we want to talk about some of the top things, some of the top problems that those preparing for retirement run into. I'm Trey Peterson and I've got my business partner.
[00:01:00] Speaker B: Yeah, let's say coots. I never know if you're going to say my name if I have to.
[00:01:04] Speaker A: That's all good.
Welcome to the show. We're excited today we're going to talk about a handful of things. Concern about the stock market. Volatility. Volatility. One of the things that we've had a lot of people ask is with the political environment, with all the money that we've printed since 2020, with how volatile it's been, is there going to be a time that doesn't bounce back overnight? So we're going to talk about some actionable steps that you can take. Today we're going to talk about preparing your portfolio for a potential crash. You know, if we did have a correction, you know, as we all know, the market does come back. But is it going to take a month, three months? We're going to talk about some problem solvers, how to beat the 4% rules. Some of you have heard of that. Many of you. And then Social Security and the Cola forecast, which will be announced later this month, you'll say, do you want to start with the financial quote of the week?
[00:01:54] Speaker B: Yeah, let's do it this week. It is from. Was it from. Actually, I'm not sure. But here's the quote. Start facing your problems head on. It isn't your problems that define you, but how you react to them and recover from them.
[00:02:08] Speaker A: I think you should just take credit for that quote, being that we don't.
[00:02:11] Speaker B: You know, it doesn't say who it's from. I like the way it sounds. It's my quote.
[00:02:16] Speaker A: Sounds just like you.
All right, let's start off.
Are you concerned about the stock market volatility.
Yesterday, I met with a couple wonderful people. They've done a great job saving. They've got 90% of their money in stocks, 10% in bonds. And even though they know that they probably should have reduced their risk by now, it's really paid off to have stayed aggressive. And one of the things that we talked about was sequence of returns.
The big question that they asked me was, hey, what happens if we have an early correction versus the market just continues to do well? How does that impact us? And a lot of people realize, obviously, if we have a correction earlier on, there are some challenges that we could face, because now all of a sudden, you're not collecting a paycheck. Now all of a sudden, you've got the market is dipped, is dipping, and you got to pull or sell stocks and bonds at a loss to get that paycheck. Yellisse, what are some thoughts around that?
[00:03:22] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, it's one of those things that it's easy to graph it out and to show you, hey, of course, if you have a correction in the earlier years, it's not going to bode as well for you than if you have one later on. But in reality, probably over the course of retirement, you might experience several corrections. And it's a simple concept. If the market goes down and you're forced to realize those losses, you're going to have fewer dollars working for you in the market to help fund the rest of your retirement. So, of course, that's better to have that in the later years of retirement, if possible. But one of the things I often tell people is we're going to have multiple corrections. It's just going to happen. And it's not about avoiding it, but making sure that you're set up in a way that you could weather those storms and that you're aware of what's happening in your accounts. We don't want any surprises in retirement. And one of those things that we need to do is making sure that, hey, recognizing the season and the stage of life that you're in and planning accordingly.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. That's super helpful.
I think, too, one of the things I talked to them is I just said, just because we have a correction potentially coming doesn't mean you have to go from 90% stock to 50% stock. But do you have a bucket of money in cds or money market, or do you have enough to maybe cover two or three years if it took the market that time to come back?
So one of the things that I think we talk about is, have you done a stress test to say if we have a dip, how much is it going to impact your overall portfolio? And I think one of the challenges is that in 2020, we had basically a 30 day dip and the market came right back. And then 2022, the market was down 18% to 20% and it came right back. So I think, well, that was positive. One of the challenges is that it made a lot of people comfortable with higher risk than maybe they should be taking.
Go ahead, Yellowstone.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: Yeah, I just think one of the things that we need to avoid is just making rash decisions, panic selling. And we have had a number of people, there's just so much going on all over the world, whether it's politically or just all the unrest and the wars that we have with Israel and Gaza and Ukraine, Russia, there's a number of things happening, not to mention the election. So we've had so many people calling in and they're like, hey, not to mention that the market, we had a bull market for as long as we've had. If you exclude 2020, 2022, are we due for a major correction? Like one that's actually going to last for several years and take forever to recover from? And we just want to make sure that you can have those conversations. But on the other end of that, you should have somebody who's helping you avoid making some of the panic selling decisions that some people have, have kind of gone into. And one thing, too, the other thing that we have going on is we have October. And I don't know if you're familiar with this trade, but the October effect, the idea that October is more dangerous than maybe some of the other months to speculate in stocks. And we've had a number of clients that have mentioned, hey, are you aware of the October effect? And the joke in the industry is the other dangerous months are January through December.
[00:06:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, there are some patterns sometimes. So what's the solution? I think one of the things that we've been showing people is historically, the average retiree had a 60 40 portfolio, 60% stock, 40% bonds. And one of the things I'd encourage listeners that are in and nearing retirement is to consider an alternative for some of those bonds. Now, what are some of the options? One would be money market.
Number two would be cds, and number three would be a no fee fixed index annuity. Some people love the word annuity, and some people hate it. But one of the things that we like is the no fee annuities, where your money is guaranteed safe. And if the market goes up, you need to participate in the reward or in the upside of the market. Now, obviously, those annuities are not a comparison for your stocks, but they can be a great replacement for bonds, typically averaging three to 6%, especially if the market does well, then they can do better than that. But one of the things that we found is a lot of people realize that they're in a new season of life, and there may be different financial vehicles that didn't make sense before, but they might make sense now. What are your thoughts on some of the alternatives that we've been using? Ylsa. And for somebody that maybe they only had bonds for safety, what are your thoughts on some of those other three options? Money market cds and annuities.
[00:07:57] Speaker B: Yeah. So the money market fund is fantastic. You have liquidity right away. You could take the money in, put the money in, buy the fund, you can sell it, and you can have cash available anytime. So that's really nice from a liquidity standpoint. The only downside is they base the return on the money market fund based on a seven day average the previous seven days. And it's entirely dependent on what the Fed is doing in terms of the interest rate.
You could be getting a great rate of return today, but six months from now, that fund might not necessarily return what you're hoping to get, or at least what you would want to get from something that's safe. You could be missing out on market returns. That could be quite a bit better than that.
That's the downside. You have no control over that, and it can change very quickly in terms of the rate of return. So if you have cds, you have a longer term. So that's nice.
If the rates are competitive, if the rates are good today, whether it's a CD or a treasury, you can lock that in for a period of time, whether it's six months, nine months, twelve months. Even more than that, treasuries can be several year long treasuries where you can guarantee that you're having this specific rate of return for the next ten years. The downside there is you're locking the money in so you don't have as much liquidity. Also, depending on what happens in the market, maybe you could have some opportunity cost if the market ends up significantly outperforming those types of investments, but at least it's relatively safe. You don't have to worry about that.
But the other thing is, if you have some of those things in a brokerage or an after tax account, you'd have to pay interest on, or you have to pay taxes on the interest and some of the dividends and things like that. So sometimes you may not want the additional exposure that that income could provide. And that's where the fixed indexed annuities and some of the things that we've looked at, they allow you to defer all of your gains and defer the taxes on those gains until you take a distribution. So there might be some advantages there, too.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: So, yeah, well, I think one of the things that a lot of people haven't done is, let me start with what they have done. Well, most of the families that we meet with are the individuals. They've done a great job saving their advisor, the 401K, did a good job growing money, which is obviously the goal. But one of the things we found is most people have never had a conversation of what does it look like to take monthly income from this portfolio that I've only added money to every single month? What does that look like? And so we call it your paychecks and your play checks. So for many of you, you're going to turn on a pension, you're going to turn on Social Security. Maybe you have some income from farmland that you inherited, or maybe you've got income from some real estate or a rental property. But most of the time there's still a gap of those guaranteed income sources and your expenses, especially that first three to five years of retirement, when you're traveling more, when you're remodeling the house, you know, you're hanging out with the grandkids. And so one of the things we help people do is put together a spend down plan and say, hey, when I get a paycheck on the first of every month from my investments, where do we pull it from? How do we decide if it comes from the IRA money, the non qualified money, the Roth account? How do we know if we take it from checking or savings? And does the market volatility play a role in that? And the answer is yes. So one of the things I would encourage you is if youve never sat down with a retirement planning specialist and put together a vision for your retirement, if youve never looked at your current plan and your portfolio of assets and how it could change in this new season of your life, we want to walk through an analysis with you, give you some recommendations. And for many people were confirming that youre already doing the right things. But maybe theres two or three things that you could tweak to improve in your new season of life. Yellow said one of the things that we did is we put together five steps to prepare. If we did have a market crash, you know, since 2020, we've doubled our debt in this country. For every dollar that we pay in taxes, $0.30 on the dollar is going towards the interest of that debt. But what are some of those five steps that we've talked about to prepare for a stock market crash?
[00:12:00] Speaker B: I think, I, I think a lot of times. So one of the things that I definitely want people to reconsider, a lot of times people come in and they say, hey, my advisor said, I just need to put down my paper, my smartphone. I just have to turn off the tv and just not pay attention to what's happening. And I think that type of advice kind of misses the point a little bit.
What's happening in the markets, that's legitimate news and it should probably be reported. You know, the media is not really there to give you investment advice. They're not going to be the ones that are accountable for your progress, making sure that you meet your financial goals.
You and your financial advisor are. And, you know, sometimes when, when we, when we look at a lot of volatility, like, we can look at these moments as opportunities, too, and we should have a discussion about what makes sense for you to do now. So, you know, volatility, it can be difficult for anybody, let alone retirees. People get very uneasy about that. And I would say, too, like, we've, we've had a number of people who they have, you know, whatever they have in their, in their portfolio, and they don't even necessarily need the money. Like, I talked to a couple recently, like, they don't even need to dip into their retirement savings because their expenses are covered by their pension or their Social Security. But they're still so fearful over whatever piece of market data they just heard. And, you know, and it's just, it's, it's, it affects all of us. I would say even if we're in a position where we don't necessarily, where we have the time, where we can leave our assets untouched and we don't have to realize losses when the market is down, it can still be very uneasy. So I think one of the things that I would recommend is be thoughtful, be calm. If you can't be thoughtful and calm, find an advisor or somebody who can help you. Be that way.
And maybe one of the most boring and obviously, pieces of information or advice that we could give is making sure you're diversified. We all know it, but we can't stress the importance of diversification and doing your best to avoid chasing trends. Right. Sticking to the fundamentals, I would say, is maybe my biggest piece of advice.
[00:14:03] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely.
Okay, so let's jump into this. So, number one, let me ask this, of these five, anything specific you want me to jump into?
[00:14:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, I think some of these are easier said than done. For instance, buying the dip. Yeah.
[00:14:24] Speaker A: Good luck.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: Good luck. Timing the market. Most of the time, what we find is people who want to buy the dip, they end up staying on the sidelines a little bit too long, and they miss out when the market comes back. That ones a little bit more difficult. But like I mentioned, diversification. Trust in diversification. Sometimes it's really easy to look at one specific sector, whether it's small cap or large cap or international or real estate, and one of those is performing really well. And we have clients coming in, calling in and saying, why don't we have everything in large cap? Why don't we? You know, why doesn't our entire portfolio represent the s and P 500? And it's, you know, there's a tendency to chase those types of trends when in fact, you should just trust in the diversification of your portfolio. Because over time, there's numerous studies that show a diversified portfolio tends to outperform people who like to pick and choose.
[00:15:13] Speaker A: I would say, yeah, absolutely. Well, let's move into our next phase. So what does it look like to work with us? I actually love this question, because every week we meet with new families and individuals, and really what they're doing is they're saying, hey, how are you the same? Or, how are you different than our current financial advisor or maybe our current tax preparer. And I think one of the things that people really love about the team that we've built here at Yellowsta is that we have a holistic planning, one stop shop where those that are in and nearing retirement, they can get their estate planning done. They can have a retirement planning advisor. They can have a tax advisor that tells them, here's what you should be doing to save tax in the future, instead of, here's what you should have done last year. They have a Medicare specialist, a Social Security specialist, and insurance agents to help with long term care and. And everything else related to health insurance. But one of the things I would say is, one of the things I think we do really well is we help people. We help people put together a vision for what it looks like to have a successful retirement. You know, one of the things, I heard a quote the other day, and actually, it said most people spend more time planning their annual vacation than they do their life or they do their retirement. And so I think one of the things that we really help people do well is put together a plan.
A lot of pieces, a lot of the failures we meet with, they have all of the pieces, but they don't have the plan in place. So some of those things would be, what does a successful retirement look like to you? And for some people, they have no idea, and for others, they have the pieces. But one of the things I found is if we can paint a picture of what travel looks like, of what remodeling looks like, of where you're going to volunteer, those families are so much happier than those that go, I'm going to figure it out once I retire. And then they spend six months or eight months lost because they don't know what's next. I think the second thing we talk about is, what are you doing and who are you with?
When people ask me who are the happiest retirees, it's not just those with the most assets, but it's those that have already started great hobbies, whether they're playing pickleball with their neighbors, whether they're camping with two, three, four couples that they started three, four, five years before retirement. And now they have things with people they like, trust, and they already know what some of their time looks like. One of the things I ask people all the time is in retirement, do you have any specific goals? You know, what's a goal? A lot of the families that we work with, they're very driven, they're goal oriented, and it can be depressing to retire and no longer have a goal that you're chasing. So what could be a fun goal that kind of keeps you getting up in the morning, maybe later in the morning, but gives you a purpose? Because people that lack purpose, oftentimes we've found they end up falling into isolation, and a lot of them end up calling and just saying, man, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I miss work because they no longer have a purpose.
And then last but not least, one of the things I think we do really well is help people create income each month, and not just randomly, but thoughtfully. Again, not to be repetitive, but where do you pull money from? In what order? And how do we make sure that you have a large percentage of your expenses covered with guaranteed income?
Yellows, anything that you want to add to that.
[00:18:38] Speaker B: I want to jump if you're okay with it. Just like maybe on the topic of annuities, I know we, we kind of talk about it a lot. And I think that for a lot of people, annuities represent a four letter word.
And I think that there's just a lack of education and an understanding of how they work.
One thing I would say is be very careful that someone's not selling you something on the promise of a bunch of guarantees that you're never going to use that really don't pertain to you. But as we're talking about income, the happiest people in retirement are people who have guaranteed sources of income where they know that no matter what happens in the market, no matter how much volatility we have, we know that were going to have enough to meet our expenses. Now, the one thing that challenges that idea is inflation, because even people who have a lot of guaranteed or fixed sources of income, sometimes those sources, they dont all have a cost of living adjustment. Now, Social Security does. Right. Trey mentioned in October, theyre going to announce that were going to know what the Cola is for the upcoming year here very shortly. But not every pension has that. And then if youve created a self pension or annuity, not every one of those has increasing income. Now, theres a number of companies that offer that inflation protection and income that increases as inflation goes up based on the performance of the account, but not a lot of those have that. So if you look at like the last four years during this administration, inflation is up. Its on track to be up about 20%.
20%. That's how much purchasing power we've lost over the last number of years here. So that could be kind of a scary thing. And the reason why I want to talk about fias for a little bit, and I started out by saying there's a bunch of guarantees that sometimes don't make sense and people don't know exactly how their account works.
I guess I'll just start with this. So if somebody has, let's say, Social Security, maybe they have a pension and that doesn't meet their income need, they need two, $3,000, let's just say they need an additional $2,000 and they have to make some choices. Do we structure our portfolio in a way that maybe we can have enough dividends and interest where that can help provide for some of our expenses in retirement? Do we pursue enough growth in our portfolio where we simply take distributions, trying to stay within that 4%? We'll talk about the 4% rule, making sure that we can take distributions and our accounts are going to last for the entirety of our retirement or do we pursue a self pension? And we talk about self pensions all the time. We're talking about using an annuity. And by the way, all annuities are through insurance companies to help fill that void, to help bridge that gap of income that we may need. So is there anything you want to add before I want to jump into the difference on the types of annuities that might be, that specifically might be helpful in this scenario?
[00:21:19] Speaker A: No, I think high level. I would just say this, you know, we run into families, they have no need for an annuity. It doesn't fit their situation. I would say many of the families that we meet with, they want some safety. And over the last ten to 15 years, they, no fee annuities have been the safest and given the best returns of any of the safe investment vehicles that we've used. And so one of the things I would encourage people is it may not be a fit for you, but before you rule it out, rule it in one of my business coaches, always, I never rule anything out before looking at the facts. And I think one of the things that you have to figure out is what's my goal and what's the best tool of getting there. We had a couple recently that he just said, trey. He goes, I'm just going to be honest. He said, I just can't get over the word annuity. I said, hey, let me introduce you to some of the families I've worked with for five, six plus years that have an annuity that hated the word. And why don't you ask them their experience? And so I put them on the phone with two of the families that we serve that bought an annuity that when we first met them, they said, I will never own an annuity. And he called me and he goes, you know what? He goes, just looking at the facts and talking with those two families, that felt exactly how I did. It looks like that is a good fit for my portfolio. I guess. I don't care about the word. I just want the results. And so one of the things, I just encourage people, not just in the word annuity, but as we talk about different investments, make sure you get information that you include things or that you roll things in before you rule them out. That would be my two cent on preparing for retirement.
[00:22:59] Speaker B: Yeah. And I'm kind of debating, like, do I dive into the weeds a little bit or is that a good summation and we could just move on from.
[00:23:07] Speaker A: Annuities, I think, jump into it and we can finish strong with that. It'd be great.
[00:23:10] Speaker B: Okay, well, I guess I would say this so, you know, annuities, traditionally, the way people look at annuities, how weve thought about them since forever, is you simply hand over a chunk of money to an insurance company and in exchange theyre going to give you a paycheck. And thats just the way it works. If you live long enough, you get into the insurance companys pocketbook. If you die early, well, the insurance company keeps the difference and youve kind of lost out. Thats a very dated old way of thinking about annuities. I would say that right now theres probably a, at least four different reasons why maybe an annuity could be a good fit. One of those would be simply, as Trey mentioned, maybe like a bond alternative, just simply a place where you could park your assets, maybe your IRA. Potentially you can put it into an annuity or a portion of your IRA. Generally, we don't like to see more than 20 or 30% of anyone's total portfolio in an annuity. But you can just do it, use it as a bond replacement. And the reason why it's an effective bond replacement, the annuities that we generally look at, they have no downside risk. In other words, the principal itself is protected. That's never going to go down.
And then, you know, for some people, they're not necessarily looking for a bond replacement. But maybe you're somebody who's in that category where you have an income need, there's a gap between your expenses and what your current fixed sources of income would they provide. So you're looking for something to help fill that gap. And there's annuities that are specifically designed for income. And I'll jump back to the income ones in just a second. But there's also annuities that have a very large or competitive death benefit. It's not a replacement for life insurance. Maybe not even exactly an alternative, but maybe they're more geared toward having a really good death benefit. And some people, that's their priority, passing out as much as they can to their children. For others, they pursue annuities because of long term care planning and long term care needs that they anticipate. Maybe they don't qualify for a long term care policy. Maybe they don't qualify for a life insurance hybrid with long term care features. And for them, they're looking for some other alternative, like an annuity. And there's some annuities that are specifically designed for that. So number one, I would say find out what your goals are, what your objectives are, the assets that you have to work with, and see if an annuity could help meet some of those goals better than some of the traditional investments that most of us are accustomed to in our 60 40 portfolio. But the part thats a little bit confusing is a lot of the guarantees and bells and whistles, if you will, all times we refer to them as the riders on the policy. Sometimes people dont understand how those function. To give you an example, we had someone recently came in and they said, hey, my annuity grows at 7% every single year.
I didnt have to look at it to know that it didnt grow at 7% every single year. Probably one of the features like the income value or maybe the death benefit value or some other value, that's probably what's growing at a guaranteed 7%. And the problem is, a lot of times they're not explained that way. So folks are thinking, hey, my account's only growing at 7%, this is fantastic. I'm doing really, really well. But we look at the cash value, the actual investment, and it's not performing anything close to that, because they have an income annuity that's designed to create an income stream and only the income value, separate value, a fictitious value, if you will. If you never use it for income, then that doesn't matter or doesn't affect you in any way at all. So you want to make sure you know how your account functions. The same thing can be true when, when you hear about a bonus, right? A lot of times annuity companies, I mean they're, they're in the business of getting more clients, right. They're trying to create attractive and appealing, an attractive or appealing proposition to get somebody to say, hey, yeah, I'm going to carve a portion of my retirement savings out and send it to this annuity company. And one of the ways that they entice you is by offering a bonus on the front end. And I would say, just be careful. Is it an actual cash value bonus? Does it actually increase the value of your account? Or does it go towards some other benefit, like the income or death benefit value, or potentially the long term care value? And thats all it says. If you have an annuity, number one, get it reviewed, have like a third party, somebody else give you a second opinion on that account, maybe call the company directly with that person so they know how to ask the correct question. So you know how your specific account functions, and then if you don't have one, just get, you know, have a second opinion to see how one might fit into your portfolio. And with that, I'm done ranting.
[00:27:30] Speaker A: No, I think it's great.
A couple last thing though, to sit on is right now. According to the 2023 financial Advisor survey conducted by the insured retirement Institute, the Irihen Americans financial concerns have increased in recent years. So this is actually really interesting. 79% of people are worried about inflation and retirement, 70% are worried about a recession, which I'm an optimist, but I have to be honest, it does feel like there's a recession in the air. 65% are worried about losing a lot of money in the stock market and 57% are worried about their ability to maintain their lifestyle. Retirement. Now, as you know, ill say one of the big things is people spend all these years, in fact decades, saving enough so they can one day retire. And the worst thing that happens, all of a sudden we have a recession and you start your retirement having to cut back. Thats obviously not living the dream. So one of the things that wed encourage people to do is ask us what are some of the ways that I can design my retirement to fight inflation? What are some things that I should be thinking about in order to make sure that if we do have a recession, we dont have to reduce our monthly income from the investments and cut out travel or home remodel or some of those fun things. And so if those are things that youve been thinking about and youd like some new ideas that have likely never been run by you, give us a call, shoot us an email and just put, hey, how do I recession proof my retirement? And we have some great investment ideas and strategies to help those in and nearing retirement.
Yellowstone, anything you want to add?
[00:29:11] Speaker B: Yeah. So when we're dealing with inflation, a lot of those things that we mentioned, money market, cds, treasuries, even annuities for the most part, that's not how you protect yourself from inflation. Right. Generally, those aren't going to mitigate for a lot of the inflationary losses we experience. Right.
Thats why we often say make sure its just for a portion of your assets, if you put everything into any one of those vehicles. Historically, we havent had the types of returns. The interest rates havent been as high as they are today. Depending on how far back you go, you want to make sure that you still give yourself the opportunity to keep pace with inflation with the majority of your portfolio, despite the volatility in the market. Stay the course. That might be your only chance of having enough of a return to be able to sustain your needs in retirement. And the last thing you want to do is to have to cut back on lifestyle because of poor investment choices or maybe somebody who sold you something that wasnt exactly the right fit for you. So get that second opinion. Theres nothing wrong with that. We tell people all the time, if your advisors asking you not to get a second opinion, the first thing I would do is get a second opinion. Surprisingly, that happens way more often than you would think.
[00:30:24] Speaker A: Well, I think too, what I say to people is do you trust your advisor enough to get a second opinion? I think one of the things is a lot of people are loyal and I'm that way and probably to a fault. I mean, I value relationships so much that the cost isn't first, the convenience isn't first. But one of the things I challenge people is make sure that you're not being more loyal to somebody else than you are to your own financial plan. But I think what's really nice is oftentimes we're just confirming that people have the right advisor. He's doing a great job, but they haven't checked in the last 510, 15 or 20 years to make sure that they're getting everything they can get. And I think one of the things that we see is a lot of people have an advisor that's worked hard for years, and one of the common things is their advisors in their sixties. And I'm not against golf, but he's golfing half the week and he's fallen asleep on them because they've been loyal. And so maybe he's not working as hard. I think it is good just to make sure. Is your advisor, has he fallen asleep on you? Has she fallen asleep on you? Or are they still working hard on your benefit? So if you just want to know, give us a call. We'd love to give you a second opinion.
