>> ALL RIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH FOR WELL, IN THE MIDDAY FIX, IF YOU'RE A NON-TRADITIONAL WORKER LIKE A FREELANCER, ENTREPRENEUR OR INFLUENCE ARE PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT IS A BIT MORE CHALLENGING THOSE JOBS TYPICALLY DON'T OFFER A 4, 1, K, BUT WE'VE GOT AN EXPERT HERE, RICHARD. SHE WAS A FINANCIAL LIFESTYLE EXPERT WITH FIRST CAPITAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT GROUP HERE WITH SOME TIPS ON HOW TO BUILD A RETIREMENT FUND. >> RICHARD, THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE. GOOD TO BE HERE. FOR HAVING ME. ABSOLUTELY. AND AS WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, POST PANDEMIC, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NOT GONE BACK TO THEIR TRADITIONAL JOBS AND ARE PROBABLY EXPERIENCING THE FREEDOM OF BEING THEIR OWN BOSS PER SE. BUT A LOT OF FUNDAMENTAL AND FOUNDATIONAL STRUCTURES THAT WERE IN PLACE TO HELP THEM SAVE ARE NOT THERE. SOME. CAN. HOW CAN WE HELP WELL, IT'S A BIG DEAL AND A LOT OF PEOPLE RIGHT NOW ARE STRUGGLING WITH THAT. >> AND THERE'S A THERE ARE ANSWERS TO IT. OBVIOUSLY, IF IF YOU'VE LEFT YOUR. PREVIOUS EMPLOYER, WHETHER BY CHOICE OR BY FORCE AND THERE'S MONEY ON THE TABLE.
I YEAR-OLD FOR ONE K ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU WANT TO DO IS TAKE IT WITH YOU. MEAN, LITERALLY TAKE THE MONEY WITH YOU RIGHT BUT ROLL THAT YOUR OWN NEW. I WRITE YOU CAN DO THAT WITHOUT ANY COST OR ANY TAX LIABILITY AND THE COOL THING ABOUT IT IS IT KEEPS YOU IN THAT STRUCTURE, OK? BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE LIMITATIONS OF WHAT YOU CAN PUT IN PER YEAR, WHICH WAS SIMILAR TO WHEN YOU HAD A 4, ONE K AND YOUR OLD EMPLOYER.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS WHEN YOU IF YOU LEFT DURING THE PANDEMIC OR POST-PANDEMIC, WERE YOU AND YOU WALK AWAY FROM THAT ORGANIZATION AND TAKE THE MONEY WITH YOU BY ROLLING IT INTO A NEW HIGHER RATE OF YOUR OWN TO TRADITIONAL OR ROTH. IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT JUST DEPENDS ON THAT, SIR. THAT'S KIND OF A TAX QUESTION. AND SOME I RECOMMEND THAT A PERSON LOOK AT WHERE THEY ARE. THEY'RE GOING TO BE SELF EMPLOYED. THEN THEIR THEIR TAX BRACKETS CHANGING IMMEDIATELY. THEY'VE BEEN EMPLOYED AT A COMPANY AND NOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE SELF EMPLOYED. THEIR TAX BRACKETS AND ALL THAT WILL BE DIFFERENT. SO THEY NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THEM.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE TECH SECTOR ADVICE COMES INTO PLAY. SO EITHER ONE AS GOOD AS BUT TO YOUR POINT EARLIER, AS LONG AS YOU'RE PUTTING SOME STRUCTURE BACK IN AND SAVING. OKAY. AND THEN WHAT SOMEONE WHO IS SELF EMPLOYED OR A BUSINESS OWNER AND THEY DON'T HAVE. >> ANY EMPLOYEE SITS JUST JUST THEM, THOUGH. WELL, THERE'S A COUPLE OF OPTIONS THAT CAN DO A SOLO FOR ONE K THAT CAN DO WHAT'S CALLED THE SEP. AND EXCEPT IT'S GOT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT GUIDELINES. BUT IN THE CASES OF THE SOLO FOR ONE K I A STRONG ADVOCATE OF THAT. IF YOU HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS AND IT'S JUST YOU AND MAYBE A SPOUSE WHO MAY QUALIFY. OKAY. IT'S A GREAT TOOL TO USE ON THAT. DOES HAVE YOU KNOW, LIMITATIONS IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH YOU CAN PUT AWAY FOR YEAR. BUT AGAIN, IT GOES BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING BEFORE. IT'S ABOUT THE MUSCLE MEMORY OF HAVING THE STRUCTURE AND YOU CAN CREATE THOSE ON YOUR BY CREATING A SOLO FOR ONE K. AND WOULD YOU SAY THAT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SELF EMPLOYED IN OUT HERE DOING THEIR OWN THING.
IS IT STILL POSSIBLE SAVE AS MUCH AS YOU WOULD, EVEN IF YOU WERE A PART OF A TRADITIONAL, YOU KNOW, WORKSPACE. SO HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WORK FOR BIG COMPANIES FOREIGN ORGANIZATION, WGN OR ANY OTHERS. AND THERE'S A 4, ONE K PLANS PART OF YOUR RETIREMENT PLANNING. YOU'RE CONTRIBUTING AND THE COMPANY IN MOST CASES, THEY'RE MATCHING TO SOME EXTENT. THAT GOES AWAY. WHEN YOU LEAVE IN TERMS OF THE COMPANY MATCHING BECAUSE NOW YOU'RE THE SO THAT'S WHERE IT'S REALLY CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE STILL CONTRIBUTING AS LONG AS YOU CAN TO THAT MAXIMUM THAT YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE.
SO YES, THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS THERE'S STILL THAT OPPORTUNITY. IN FACT, IN SOME CASES, IT'S EVEN BETTER BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE CONTROL AND YOU CAN USE SOME OF THE BOTH TAX DEFERRED AND TAX FREE TOOLS TO GET TO THAT POINT DOWN THE ROAD, OK? AND THEN WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT? AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RETIREMENT SAVINGS? YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE SOONER YOU START THE BETTER. BUT FOR SOMEONE WHO SAYS IT'S JUST TOO LATE FOR ME, YOU KNOW, WOULD YOU EVER SAY THAT TO ANYBODY IN NOW? TOO LATE BECAUSE THERE'S A COUPLE WAYS THAT THAT WE LOOK AT IT. ONE IS IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR YOU TO START BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE AFTER TAX TOOLS TO USE. BUT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, SAVINGS IS PASSES CAME. SO IF YOU'RE PUTTING MONEY AWAY, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THAT. IT MAY NOT DIRECTLY BE YOU, BUT IT MAY BE PART OF YOUR LEGACY. WE HAVE JUST UNDER A MINUTE LEFT. RICHARD, IS THERE ANY LESS POINTS TO BITS THAT YOU WANT TO, YOU KNOW, JUST GET ACROSS THE FOLKS BEFORE WE WRAP UP, WE'RE GOING TO YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION AND YOUR SECONDARY QUESTION ABOUT CAN YOU DO IT? ARE YOU TOO OLD? YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD.
START WHERE YOU ARE. MAKE SURE THAT YOU BASE IT ON YOUR BUDGET SO THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO DO IT. SO LIKE WORKING OUT AND, YOU KNOW, WE ALL KNOW THIS. YOU GET TO THAT PLAN ON THE LOSE WEIGHT, GET BETTER SHAPE AND YOU TRY TO DO TOO MUCH AT ONE TIME BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LOOK AT YOUR BUDGET OF YOUR TIME. IN THIS CASE WHEN IT COMES YOUR FINANCIAL BUDGET, THE SAME THING APPLIES, START SAVING. LOOK AT YOUR BUDGET, DETERMINE WHAT YOU CAN DO AND THEN BE ABLE TO STICK TO IT. THAT'S PROBABLY MY BIGGEST TIP IS JUST JUST SAFE. ALWAYS SAY MY WIFE AND I TALK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME. ARE WE SAVING WE AS AS PROFESSIONALS TO THE SAME THING. SO TO THE CONSUMER JUST START WHERE YOU ARE AND THEN BE ABLE TO BUILD AND GO FORWARD. ALL RIGHT. ONE OF MY MODELS PENNIES ADD UP, SAY SURE.
ALL RIGHT. YES, THANKS SO MUCH, RICHARD. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING ON THE SHOW. THANK YOU. CAN GET MORE INFORMATION AT FIRST SEE IG DOT COM OR FOLLOW THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AGAIN, RICHER THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE APPRECIATE .
