Kraig Strom, The Income Engineer

Kraig Stromwww.facebook.com

Welcome to the Personal Pension Radio Podcast, where it is all about planning correctly today so that you can sit back and reap the retirement lifestyle benefits later!

Discover time tested strategies to help you lower your taxes, cut your expenses, and maximize your lifestyle today without sacrificing your retirement lifestyle or legacy tomorrow. Join us as we help you avoid the junk advice offered by unlicensed financial entertainers and the Wall Street marketing machine. We uncover financial strategies that empower you to break away from the herd. Success does not come from a product or a singular strategy. Savings, investing, tax planning, estate planning, insurance, goal setting, income engineering, and lifestyle design must all be considered from a macro perspective.

Wealth accumulation is an important component of a financial plan; however, the size of your 401k account, stock portfolio or defined benefit plan, the balance of your accounts can overshadow the most important - the income they can provide. As you plan for the sale of your business or retirement, the question you should ask is, "What will my income be and will I be able to preserve my lifestyle?"

You can retire or sell your business with your lifestyle intact. Don't settle for the inaccurate and incomplete advice of Financial Entertainers like Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman, or Jim Cramer. There is a better way!

PPR 266 ECONOMICS OF RETIREMENT INCOME

Maximum Retirement income does not happen with a product. Investments, annuities, real estate, life insurance, or crypto by themselves will not get you to your maximum retirement income number.

PPR 278- Boating Derails Retirement

The Wall Street answer to maximum retirement income is to invest more money. That is usually the answer to everything. Lose your dog - you need to invest more money. Flat tire - you must not have invested enough money. Investments are critically important to your retirement happiness; however, protection is often ignored. Protection should be the first thing we talk about in a retirement planning conversation. It does not mater how good your retirement investments are if a civil liability claim ...
