Replacing Income in Retirement
This week’s episode of THE FINANCIAL COMMUTE features a special session recorded live from Morton Wealth’s 2024 Investor Symposium. Wealth Advisors Kevin Rex, Joe Seetoo and Mike Rudow discuss strategies that could help replace income in retirement.
Here are some key takeaways from their conversation:
- Traditional income strategies like government bonds are less effective due to changing interest rates and market dynamics. Joe and Mike advocate for alternative income sources like private lending and real estate loans.
- Examples of alternative income sources include private real estate loans (e.g., short-term loans with high-yield returns) and private diversified lending in resilient sectors like food and education.
- It is important to diversify account types (e.g., IRAs, Roth IRAs, HSAs, and taxable accounts) to optimize tax strategies and reduce tax burdens in retirement.
- For business owners looking to sell their enterprise and retire, earnouts and seller notes can help align seller and buyer goals and bridge gaps in valuation.
- Joe and Mike recommend business owners who may feel anxious about losing their sense of purpose after retirement to consider consulting.
