Do you have a plan that implements each one of your preferences?

If you think future tax rates will likely be higher, does it make sense to save money in a tax-deferred vehicle that delays paying taxes to the future when tax rates are higher? Forbes magazine (Dec 13, 2004) warned that most people unknowingly make this expensive mistake when they fund tax deferred accounts like a 401(k), IRA, 403(b) or SEP IRA. Does that describe you, too?

What if you could grow your money tax deferred and access it tax free and without penalty whenever you want for whatever you want with none of the restrictions of qualified plans?

What if your money could earn a market rate of return when the market goes up but not lose a single dollar when the market goes down?

And what if, after doing all this, you could reduce your income taxes by tens of thousands of dollars and more, especially during retirement? Bob and Carol reduced theirs by$149,636; Jeff and Lisa kept $253,824; and Dr Michaels reduced his taxes by $1,062,040.

What are you doing to protect yourself against higher taxes and inflation in the future and avoid the tax deferral trap?

Do you have a comprehensive strategy that -

* Maximizes your capacity to build secure wealth?
* Minimizes the impact of future higher taxes and inflation?
* Allows your money to never participate in losses, only the gains?
* Allows you to access your funds tax free, penalty free, any time you want?
* Provides you with a clear set of directions to implement your strategy and manage your tactical advisors?
* Has your money working safely and predictably for you so you don’t have to work for money?
* Eliminates those ‘what ifs’ that keep you awake at night staring at the bedroom ceiling?
* Enables you to freely choose what to do with your life, where and with whom?

Or, are you hunkered down defensively in bunker mentality, fending off ‘distractions’ and missing opportunities, too busy making a living to have a life?

‘Jeff and Lisa’ knew they’d be in trouble if they stayed in their bunker. They were on track to run out of money well before life expectancy. They implemented two painless recommendations that reduced their income tax burden in retirement by almost over $696,000 and ensured they had adequate income past age 100.
