  • Why so many Financial Advisors quit the business

    Over 90% of financial advisors last only 3 years in the business.

    Some common reasons for quitting include a lack of fulfillment, difficulty finding clients, and burnout.

     

    But financial advisor and retirement planner Frank Guida has been in the business for almost 4 decades!

     

    On this episode, he shares his thoughts on why so many fail as an advisor due to the high demands of working at big financial institutions, how he’s withstood the test of time, and what that experience brings to the table.

     

    A Better Way Financial is a family-owned business where Frank and his son Frankie Guida work together, alongside their entire team, to create customized plans for each one of their clients and treat every individual they meet like family.

     

    If you need a financial plan and guideline that lays out when to turn on Social Security, how to get reasonable returns without excess risk, while lowering your fees and future taxes, connect with the team at A Better Way Financial for a comprehensive financial plan review.

  • How does your family history factor into your longevity risk

    Your family’s health history is just one factor in your longevity risk, but how can you calculate and plan for it?

     

    On this episode, we hear comedian Nate Bargatze’s thoughts on getting his own family health history which reminds us that it’s not so simple.

     

    Financial advisors and retirement planners Frank and Frankie Guida have a unique perspective on the family dynamic since they are a farther-son team.

    At A Better Way Financial they preach the importance of figuring longevity into your retirement plan, because you don’t want to run out of money!

     

    If you’re looking to retire or you're already retired and don’t have a detailed financial plan showing how to optimize your savings and investments so you get the most income from your portfolio while not taking unnecessary risk or paying more taxes than you have to, connect with the team at A Better Way Financial for a comprehensive financial plan review.

  • How much money should you take from your retirement savings each month to meet your spending needs?

    It’s the question most retirees ponder. For a long time, many have subscribed to the “4% Rule” but a columnist in the Wall Street Journal has his own that he calls the “$400 Rule.” He says you’ll spend about $400 each month in retirement above and beyond what you think you’ll spend. 

     

    On this episode, financial advisor and retirement planner Frankie Guida explains how at A Better Way Financial not only can they do the math to help ensure your expenses are covered, they also factor in potential recurring, inadvertent expenses that you may forget to include. They build retirement plans equipped with income streams that factor in things like taxes, inflation, and other variables.

     

    They also explain how turning on your Social Security at the right time, setting up investments and taking income properly, and doing tax planning may allow you to live on more income than you had planned without having to save more or winning the lottery. A simple repositioning of the funds you already have could allow you to live an even bigger retirement than you’d dreamed!

     

    Do you know how much money you can live on for the rest of your retirement? Are you leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table?

    Connect with the team at A Better Way Financial to find out how much income you can live on for the rest of your life going up with inflation.

  • Navigating The Varying Views On The Economy To Help Protect Your Savings No Matter What
