Formerly Mastering Money, but still the Common Sense Financial Hour…

For worry free income, preservation and indexed growth in retirement with no market losses and no management fees, today’s NEXT GENERATION uncapped retirement index annuities with income riders are becoming the asset of choice for 401k and IRA rollovers.   Once upon a time, government bonds could provide the security and financial peace of mind required in retirement. In fact, “living off your savings” was the time-honored approach to retirement.  But when bank CDs and bonds are paying zero or near zero, and that’s your only plan, you are no longer LIVING off savings….You’re just spending down your principal haphazardly!  You are just paying your principal back to yourself, with little or no interest, and no guarantee of what happens when you run out. Can anyone seriously consider retiring on a bond or bank account  paying less than one or two percent, with inflation at 7% or more? Today, we’ll show you how to avoid poor retirement income planning  A power-packed show you don’t want to miss!   MASTERING MONEY is on the AIR!!!

Researchers at Yale and MIT have completed Nobel Laureate research on potential retirement outcomes for today’s retirees. The reason the picture is not pretty for many Baby Boomers, even those with million dollar portfolios, is just what you might expect: bond interest rates are too low to live on and relying on the stock market for income withdrawals simply is not mathematically sustainable. They point out you could need your money MOST when markets are down, causing  accelerated depletion of your savings.  Face it, stocks are not for income–but can anyone seriously consider retiring on a BOND paying less than one or two percent, with inflation headed to three or four percent one day?       Coming up, we’ll review a simple three step plan for getting your retirement income locked in so you can retire and STAY retired once and for all!  ..an important show today you don’t want to miss…MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!!

What if you had a magic calculator that could tell you just when to get into the market and when to get out? That would certainly be a popular gift item, but there’s one problem. No such thing exists! That doesn’t stop MILLIONS of people with money in the stock market from trying to TIME IT. JP Morgan’s new retirement guide points out what many researchers have already discovered: if you are out of the market at the wrong times, sitting on the sidelines, you will destroy your overall returns. In fact, if you missed only the TEN best days of the market over the past ten YEARS, your return would have been cut in HALF. If you missed the twenty best days, your return would be negative!! Find out how to build a REAL strategy with your investments today in a fact filled Market Intel Segment. Don’t miss it, MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!

No longer can you throw darts at the S & P 500, and pick stocks that will go up.  Today we examine the two major methods of analysing stocks–Fundamental Value vs. Technical Charting in a very informative Market Intel Segment, then Gary Kaltbaum joins us for the Q & A
