The second bucket in your financial plan is the income bucket. The “A” in W.E.A.L.T.H. stands for “all expenses covered by income.” On today’s episode, we sit down with our team member Scott Toms to discuss establishing your income plan and the options available to you. For decades, the financial industry has been unnecessarily complex. Carson Wealth and the Way 2 Wealth podcast is clarifying and simplifying the financial field, allowing clients to become educated and engaged in their financial plans.
What do we define as income? It’s what keeps us comfortable through our working years. Those bi-weekly or weekly checks are reliable but as we move into retirement the biggest adjustment we face is learning to live on a fixed income. In order to have enough money for retirement, regardless of how long we live, we need to carve out an income bucket that will fill our expenses in retirement. It’s important to sit down with your advisor and calculate your specific formula, as everyone’s income needs will be different.
Many of us may get our net worth and income confused. We’ve seen a lot of clients that have a great net worth but have anxiety about retirement because of their income plans. Net worth is not always liquid meaning that money is not guaranteed. Unlike your net worth, your income plan or income bucket is conservatively invested and provides your plan with stable sustainability into the future. Join us today as we discuss how to develop a good income plan and what kind of investments you should be looking into.
