Acute Wealth Advisors has tips on spending in retirement

So you've save save save your whole life and then it comes time to retire and you've got to start spending that money down well for many baby boomers spending that cash isn't as fun as they thought it would be Matt Deaton of acute Wealth Advisors he is here this morning to explain and Matt is one of the valleys leading financial advisors he and his partner Damon they have a weekly retirement radio show and they help folks prepare for retirement and Matt it's it's mind boggling really when it comes time to actually go out and spend the hard-earned money that you've worked hard for you said that some people can't do it they're they're fearful why well part of its they've they've developed habits of saving their whole life and now it's time to start spending I've got this client that I'm working with right now she had hurt us at one of our workshops and she came in and she was currently being with her advisor once a month because she was so worried about her money she had just retired she didn't know what to do and as she talked and she talked through these things I found that she was basically paralyzing or spending she just really didn't know what to do she I told her I said you have some investments but you don't have a financial plan you don't have a plan for how you're gonna spend this money and so you're really really scared about it oh yeah and so so we're working with her to kind of put that plan in place so that she can you know and she doesn't have to meet with her advisor every month right and be worried about this that she can go out and enjoy retirement all right so how do you suggest that those folks out there who might be like her how do they overcome their fear well I think there's a couple things number one I think knowledge is power the more you can understand about a subject the better and so we believe when we sit down with someone to educate them and teach them and so we spend the first few appointments just talking and educating about those the other thing that we have started to do is we've started to do these college courses okay so we hold these courses that's a community college close it's two nights it's for two hours each night so it's not long it's not extended but it's enough time to go into depth on these classes in this subject so that people can now own their finances because now they can learn about fees they can understand how to analyze their statements all these things that people get petrified and worried about that cause the issues when they were and so this to our class it's two nights for two hours it's a I mean are we you're teaching us basically how to spend so we're taking notes oh there's a workbook we're gonna teach people how to maximize their social security so the first thing we're trying to teach people is how to get the most out of their money okay but then once you understand that you're gonna know okay this is the money I need to set aside for the income I'm going to need ten years down the road but this is the money money I can spend now so I can have some fun while I'm young and I'm healthy and I can move and I can go on the cruise and all the things you've been doing so it's it's a it's a course that just starts from the basics and builds on them alright so after we finished this two-day course you've given us a plan of action our distribution plan do you suggest that we update that oh absolutely so just because you go to the one class or just because you've sat down with a financial advisor at one time you cannot just stop there you need to continue to develop and make changes to that because things are gonna change your health is going to change your spending is going to change and so you need to make adjustments to your financial plan and I would have to imagine that after they have this plan that they the fear is lifted a little bit absolutely because again instead of just having investments you have a plan and so if you're an emergency and you have a plan a lot of the fear goes away you know what you're supposed to do that class and go gosh darn it I gotta get out there and enjoy my retirement well that's all probably overwhelmed and and excited well she's turning to become more excited you know she's been overwhelmed she's been fearful now she's starting to get where she's like okay I can really enjoy the travel I don't do it I can do it and I think that you know that fear is normal because we're not getting the income anymore so we don't want to stop our current lifestyle right great information well let's give you some information let's to give you the tools that you need to enjoy retirement if you want to learn more you can attend that upcoming two-day educational course that we were just talking about hosted by acute wealth
