    Guarantee
    To Principal

    Never worry about market volatility again. Understanding that protecting your hard earned money is as important, if not even more important than choosing the right financial strategy. It is virtually impossible to predict the future performance of any investment, but you should never lose money along the way. Planning for your future and retirement must be built on certainty and not uncertainty. It is a huge misconception that you need to take risk when it comes to investing in your retirement and financial future. Always protect your principal with a Guarantee floor, safeguarding your funds from risk. This has become the New Normal. As Warren Buffet states, – “Rule #1 – Don’t lose money. Rule #2 – Don’t forget rule #1.”

    area-b

    Tax Free
    Growth

    There’s a difference between the way the 99% plan and invest versus the top 1% of people in the world. These strategies are not new and have been utilized by the well informed and typically the top 1% of income earners in the U.S. You don’t have to be wealthy or privileged to learn and apply the same strategies and plans that will give you the financial advantage you wish you knew much earlier in life. Unfortunately many advisors and wealth managers don’t enlighten the masses on these types of growth strategies because it’s either not what they specialize in, have licenses for and usually are not financially incentivized to inform you about. Therefore you believe that their help is necessary while the reality is that their fees are massively eroding your investment and retirement income, easily erasing at least 10 years of income from your retirement.

    area-c

    Tax Free
    Access

    Who said Uncle Sam has to be your financial partner in your journey through life? Money has zero emotions or feelings. It simply behaves based on the tax codes it’s governed by. Depending on which financial instruments you choose to park your money in, this solely dictates the way your money grows and especially how you are able to access it. If you’re not in the know as to how this works, it’s not necessarily your fault because most people are often blindly guided to enroll with financial instruments through their advisors and even from their employers. This is all without any knowledge of its risks, restrictions, penalties and tax consequences. Tax-Free access to your hard earned money is not anything new, especially if you’ve already been well educated like many in the top 1% of society. It’s not always about how much you can earn, it’s about how much net spendable money you can keep!

    area-d

    No Restrictions -
    Limitations & Penalties

    When it comes to accessing your hard earned money, you want it to pass the liquidity test as well. Many don’t realize that you don’t have to lock your funds in “money jail” for a lengthy period of time or wait until age 59.5 in order to access your money without steep penalties. Remember, your money is not trying to avoid you. It’s simply behaving based on the financial instrument it’s sitting in. In the world of investing and financial planning, so many individuals are not guided with such options because unfortunately people have been taught to park their money in instruments that are only governed by such restrictions and penalties to access your own money. The concept of being able to grow your funds Tax-Free, Access it Tax-Free and do so WITHOUT any age limitations, restrictions or penalties is not a new concept. Being guided or consulted by a Specialist in this regard is critical. Not all financial professionals are created equal. It really does matter who is guiding you down your financial path.

    Living
    Benefits

    Has anyone ever taught you how to insure your money while you’re alive? Many plan for what they may leave to their loved ones upon death, but unfortunately the vast majority will face financial hardships long before this event due to chronic and critical diseases such as heart attacks, stroke, cancer and other debilitating health issues. For example, someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds and is the leading cause of death in the U.S. – (https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm). Over $219B will be spent in the U.S. for just heart related diseases. Cancer related costs are rising rapidly from $150B since 2018 each year as well. – (https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/understanding/statistics). Most people will simply drain their own assets, ie, (home equity, savings, retirement accounts, college savings, etc.) to pay for such costs. You can say goodbye to any future financial plans or retirement funds if this is the reality. Acquiring living benefits is a must these days in order to protect your income during your working years. Learning how to add a valuable and accessible bucket of resources to your life will give you the greatest peace of mind. There is no longer the need to dive into your own assets to account for such necessary benefits.

    Transfer Your
    Legacy

    At some point in our lives, we will be faced with the inevitable event of passing away. Ensuring the legacy of your family is some- thing that should always be given its due attention. Many don’t want to think about our mortality, but when you put plans in place that take away any stress of you having to worry about all those “what if” scenarios, then you can feel confident living life knowing that you were prepared to carry on your legacy. Leaving a legacy to your loved ones is something often overlooked because there is a huge misconception that this type of planning is only reserved for the wealthy. This is so far from the truth and knowing how to prepare for your passing will give your loved ones, kids and future generations to come, something they can feel proud of because you did not procrastinate in making sound financial decisions now that will impact your legacy forever. Leaving a legacy is a necessary priority, but also knowing how to transfer a legacy Tax-Free is something you can absolutely control.

He was massively impacted by this tragic event and felt helpless that he could not protect even his own mother. He believed he was in the wrong industry to do so at the time.

    - Tom Young
    “It's because of you I have a firmer grasp of personal finance and the steps I need to take to ensure fiscal health. As many others, I am on auto-pilot and have been programmed to trust the process my employers provide - without even second guessing! I didn't have to worry, I have life insurance and my children would be well cared for should anything happen to me... however, I was only covered if I was continuously employed by the same company. You also made me think about, what if something happened to me while I was still living... how would I protect myself then? This was an epiphany moment for me! I need LIVING benefits to be protected should anything happen to me! Wanting to get started on retirement planning, but not having a plan in place, YOU were exactly the person I needed in my life! After meeting with you I gained the confidence I needed to dump those advisors, and come up with my own plan. As a result I've already saved hundreds if not thousands in unnecessary fees, and I finally feel like I'm in control of my financial future. THANK YOU, DANNY! ”

    MANAGING YOUR FINANCES

    Managing your finances is an important component to any financial security plan. Along with the protection offered through insurance and the goal setting provided by investment choices, money management strategies help you manage your savings on a daily basis.

    For Individuals:

    • Saving
    • Tax Planning
    • Succession Planning

    For Businesses:

    • Financial Planning for Business Owners
    • Business Succession Planning

    Saving:

    Depending on your stage of life, chances are you’ll have a distinct approach to saving. New graduates or young couples have different needs than retirees or mid-career families. But no matter your personal situation, we can help you develop financial habits that will lay a strong foundation for your savings. Younger individuals and couples have a number of benefits in terms of financial management. Low insurance costs and a long investment horizon, combined with few responsibilities, can make for an excellent financial base. We can help you build on these advantages, while at the same time considering a debt load that might include student loans, car payments or perhaps a mortgage.

    Couples planning for a first child enter into a new level of commitment—both personally and financially. Learn how to save for a child through specialized insurance and investment products. Mid-career professionals typically have higher incomes than younger investors—but they also carry more responsibilities. From mortgage payments to a child’s education, consider a financial plan that balances your needs and obligations.

    Retirees have worked hard at their careers, and now is the time for relaxation and celebration. Chances are children have moved from home, the mortgage is mostly paid off and a few investments are coming to fruition. However, income levels may have dropped after retirement. Find out how to manage your finances in a way that allows you to fully enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

    Tax Planning:

    No one likes taxes. But through the advice of a professional advisor, you can access products and services that help ease the burden. Life insurance policies and investment products can all be useful tools in an effective tax strategy. Working together, we will consider your personal situation and design a tax plan that fits your needs.

    Choose from a variety of products and services, such as:

    • Income-splitting for spouses or common-law couples.
    • Life insurance products that build tax-advantaged capital for retirement.
    • Investment products that provide for tax benefits.

    Financial Planning For Business Owners:

    Business owners face unique challenges—and opportunities—in terms of financial planning. You’ve worked hard to develop your ideas into a successful business, or perhaps you’re considering moving into self-employment. Regardless of your situation, choose a financial planning strategy that takes advantage of your unique situation.

    If you are considering moving to self-employment, Contact us today to discuss how to revise your financial plan. Working together, we will help you adjust from a situation where a previous employer might have provided benefits, such as health or life insurance or a company pension. Life and disability insurance can be difficult to purchase at first, since many insurers want two years of tax results. As well, self-employed people can gain tax write-offs for some health insurance premiums.

    Living Benefits

    Living Benefits

    If you believe that life insurance only applies to you when you die, then you have yet to discover the power of living benefits, where you can access your benefit while you are alive.

    Living benefits allows you to access a portion or up to all of your death benefit. This gives you the peace of mind that you don’t have to drain any of your own funds or assets. This is the concept of “insuring your money” so in the event that you are unable to perform at work or in your business, you have a bucket of resources that is available to you while you are alive.

    Here are the Top 3 Living Benefits to look for.

    Terminal Illness Insurance

    A majority of carriers will include Terminal Illness living benefits in their insurance products. This benefit will apply when your physician diagnoses you with a terminal illness that is likely to result in your death within 24 months.

    Chronic Illness Insurance

    You are eligible for Chronic Illness living benefits when your physician certifies, within the last 12 months, that you are unable to perform at least two of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) unassisted for a minimum of 90 days consecutively or you are cognitively impaired for a minimum of 90 days. ADLs include bathing, continence, dressing, eating, toileting and transferring.

    Note: Medicare does not cover this type of care and many individuals without this type of living benefit will be forced to drain their own resources and assets to cover expenses related to this kind of illness.

    Critical Illness or Injury Insurance

    Experiencing a critical illness may be a huge financial burden to you and your family. We are all potentially one doctor’s visit away from being physically unable to perform our duties to earn income. Having this type of living benefit may be a key component in protecting your income and/or your financial future or retirement. The most basic Critical illness or Injury living benefits cover being diagnosed with cancer, heart attack and stroke, as these are some of the most common illnesses and leading causes of death worldwide. –(World Health Organization – “Top 10 Causes of Death” -Aug 5, 2020)

    This type of living benefit may also cover many other illnesses such as:

    -Angioplasty, Kidney failure, Organ transplants, Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple sclerosis, Cystic fibrosis, Paralysis, Severe burns

    Indexed Strategy

    Indexed Strategy

    Applying an Indexed Strategy allows you the ability to gain interest based on the performance of an Index, without any downside risk or volatility. Essentially your funds are not (In the market), but rather your funds are (Linked to the market). There are many known indices that all of the top financial institutions in the United States utilize. Some of the most well-known Indices include, but are not limited to the S&P 500 Index, the Global Index, Fidelity Multifactor Yield 5% ER Index, Barclays Trailblazer Sector 5 Index, Credit Suisse Balanced Trend 5% Index and many more. Utilizing such a strategy allows you to grow money Tax-Free with the ability to access your money 100% Tax-Free with absolutely no penalties, restrictions or age limitations. Liquidity and the flexible use of your funds is an important factor to always consider when saving for your future and/or retirement. These strategies have been implemented by the top 1% of America for decades and now is becoming a new standard when it comes to future and retirement planning.

    Some of the most well-known benefits of utilizing an indexed strategy include, but are not limited to the following:

    • Principal protection to your funds from risk or market volatility
    • Flexible use of your funds without any Penalties, Restrictions or Age Limitations
    • Liquidity and easy access to your funds
    • Removing unnecessary advisor or money management fees that greatly erode your funds over time (Even a 1% fee attached to your money over the course of 20 years can wipe away up to 10 years of spendable retirement income)
    • Tax-Free growth & Tax-Free access to your funds
    • Greater peace of mind when saving for your future or retirement

    Retirement Planning

    Retirement Planning

    Retirement is not about Age, it’s about Income…Period! When most people are asked about retirement, many just pick an arbitrary age out of thin air based on what they’ve heard from others. Often times, people remain clueless as to how to exactly plan for a time in their life when they can ACTUALLY stop working. They’ve been told fictitious slogans like, “You’ll be fine as long as you just contribute to your company 401k plan.” Or “Just save 10% of your money and you’ll be ok down the road.” Unfortunately, these slogans are exactly what they sound like…Slogans! They are often derived from inaccurate information and vague beliefs from people that are not qualified to even give such advice. The bottom line is that saving a lump sum of money for your future may not be the only answer to your future retirement needs. For one, people are living much longer these days, which means that there is “More Life at the End of the Money” and people are obliviously unaware of these critical factors that pertain to them. Retirement is not about planning down the road; it’s about HOW you plan right NOW for this future time in your life.

    Another huge misconception is that Saving a Lump Sum of money is the solution to your retirement problems. This couldn’t be the furthest from the truth and reality. Now with longer life spans than ever, you need to consider how long your savings will last you.

    For example, if you had $400,000 sitting in your employer qualified contribution plan, such as a 401k, 403b, 457, TSP or Deferred Compensation Plan, then first of all, you would need to more than likely have earned $700,000 – $800,000 because you haven’t yet factored in Fees & Taxes. But in this hypothetical “Lump Sum” amount, let’s say you had that amount sitting NET in your account and now it’s your time to retire. The problem you face now is that your money needs to last for at least 20 years in your retirement years. If you do the math and divide $400k by 20 years, that’s only a measly $20,000 of income PER YEAR. Again, this hasn’t factored in fees that are perpetually eroding your retirement funds, taxes, or even inflation. Imagine how much $20k per year of income would be worth 20-30 years from now…not the most ideal scenario most people are willing to face. This is only because they haven’t been educated on real strategies and solutions from an actual Specialist in this regard. If this resonates with you, please don’t’ hesitate to (Contact Us) for a brief No Obligation Discovery Call where we can determine if we can help you achieve your financial needs and goals.

    Xtreme 1 Financial is the best in the industry as Specialists in this area.

    Lifetime Income Need

    If you’re planning on retiring one day, then Lifetime Income and real strategies to obtain this should be a serious consideration. The need to create a steady stream of income that you cannot outlive is something that the majority of financial planners and advisors do not consult you on. In fact, it is often NOT what they specialize in. We at Xtreme 1 Financial are experts in this subject matter and often exceed clients’ expectations on what they believe is even possible. If you are concerned whether or not Social Security income or your own savings will be enough for retirement, then creating a Self-Generated Pension Plan should be a key element in your retirement planning.

    Health Care Needs

    Health care needs and associated costs are constantly on the rise as we age. The problem is that without proper protection of your income or money, you will be forced to deplete your own resources for such costs. This will further delay or even eliminate retirement as a reality altogether. Government programs such as Medicare may provide some safety net, but often times, is not enough to face the rigorous challenges of Chronic Illness or Long-Term Care needs. These issues are a devastating reality to one’s retirement and should always be factored in to your retirement plans today in order to safeguard your financial well-being for your future.

    Estate Protection

    Transferring of your assets can be a daunting thing to think about. Understanding the impact of your decisions today matters if there are survivors who may be dependent upon the assets of your estate for their own financial security. Even if that’s not the case, proper estate planning is a critical element of retirement planning to ensure that your legacy passes on to your heirs in the manner in which you see fit for those that matter in your life. Larger estates that exceed your state’s Estate Tax Exemption limit may be under siege due to projected death taxes, which could potentially force unwanted liquidation of your assets if the proper planning to cover this tax liability is not done. (Please see your applicable state’s Estate Tax Exemption criteria.)

    Business Succession Planning

    Business Succession Planning

    When a partner or major stockholder in a business passes, business succession planning may be necessary to avoid problematic and costly interference from the surviving family members. A business is mainly concerned with gaining control of the deceased partner’s interest at a fair price so that it can smoothly continue operations. The surviving family members are most concerned with receiving as much money as possible for their interest in the business and capital for estate settlement purposes.

    The Need for a Written Agreement

    Without a written agreement, competing interests between a business and family members may result in unwanted conflict, litigation and even unnecessary liquidation of the business. Having a Buy-Sell Agreement in place can ensure that the business interest of the deceased partner will transfer to the benefit and satisfaction of all parties. A Buy-Sell agreement in place can ensure the stability of the business, its employees, its investors and the surviving family members of the deceased.

    A properly designed Buy-Sell Agreement includes a mutually agreed upon sales price and terms of the sale. The agreement must be funded in order to ensure that the capital is funded at the time of a partner’s death. A properly designed life insurance policy provides an efficient and cost-effective means of providing necessary funds to buy out the interests of the deceased partner’s family and establish a reserve for the business to continue operations.

    Types of Business Owner Buy-Sell Arrangements

    Entity Plan: This type of plan Involves multiple business owners that have a separate agreement with the corporation or partnership as the entity.

    Cross Purchase Agreement: This type of agreement is used when there are two or three owners and a cross purchase agreement is established between each of the owners. When one of the owners passes, the surviving owners agree to buy a proportionate share of the deceased owner’s interest.

    Buy-Sell Agreements are an effective and simple way for business owners or privately held companies to plan for the orderly transfer of business interests of two or more owners actively involved in the business. This agreement can also secure the needs of the surviving family members of a deceased partner while ensuring the continuation of the business.

    Business succession planning may require proper legal, tax and insurance advice. It is always recommended to seek a specialist when discussing your options.

    Saving For Your Future

    Saving For Your Future

    When you are planning for your financial future, it is always wise to consult with a Specialist who has the expertise to guide you. Most people simply accept what’s offered to them from their employer or their advisor and never ask questions or understand the magnitude of the Risks, Restrictions, Fees and Tax consequences involved in such investments. You don’t know what you don’t know so it’s understandable that many are challenged to find a real solution that serves their best interest for their financial future.

    Xtreme 1 Financial is #1 in the nation when it comes to serving people with their personal finance and saving for their future & retirement while Eliminating Risk, Fees & Taxes, which we call the (ERFT Method). We’re the best in our industry to help people create and implement a plan that gives them immediate results and protection.

    When it comes to investing in yourself and saving for your future or retirement, it’s important to know that simply following herd-like practices is NOT the answer to securing a strong financial foundation. Our strength and core focus is to bring the education and strategies that the top 1% have been utilizing for decades and bringing those same methods to the masses.

    A properly structured Savings Strategy and plan for the future should include the following:

    • A Guarantee protecting your hard-earned money / principal from Risk & Volatility
    • Removal of advisor & management fees that erode your investment over time
      • Even a 1% fee attached to your retirement over time can erase up 10 years of retirement income from your hard-earned money
    • Tax-Free Growth & Access to your principal
    • A removal of penalties, restrictions and age limitations to access your money
    • Understanding your actual target age for retirement & financial goals so that a specific plan can be created and reversed engineered for you to actually achieve them
    • A plan on how to keep more money in your own pocket versus unnecessarily giving it away in taxes to Uncle Sam
    • Living Benefits to “insure your money” during your prime or working years in the event that you’re unable to work due to a Chronic or Critical Illness, so that you never have to deplete your own funds or assets (ie: personal savings, home equity, emergency funds, etc.)
