Speaker 1 (00:43):
What Chiledoh chalito chialito with the sour cream? Yeah, yeah, yes, No.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I wouldn't say eighty six to sour cream, but anybody
would freak out on.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Me because that's restaurant lingo, that's for sure. Mercurio Wealth Advisors,
Alan Troy Bolton, they're your financial advisors. Folks. You need
a coach. Even Michael Jordan had a coach. You need
a coach to get you through it. Whether you're barely
towards retirement or you're already retired. You it's like a boat.
(01:14):
You got to have a wrench on it all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And you don't want to start at the last second.
It's never ever too early to start saving. I wish
someone would have got a hold of me at eighteen
years old.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Well, thank thank god.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
For our wives. Yeah, no, kidding, right, our.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Wives said, hey, we need a plan absolutely for what.
Now is the time because Dwight and I always said,
well we only need some board shorts and some flip flops,
but we're gonna need a little more than that.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well, neither one of us, to be truthful, thought that
we would be alive at fifty seven.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's true, so you know, well, yeah, neither one of
us supposed to. We're you actually, I know, I actually
really tested that theory. I really tested that theory. But
it is retirement is weird and uh we I don't
want to say. Jack, They were like, look, how what
you spending a month? And Jack and now look at
each other. We're like, we're not really.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Sure at all.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So we sat down and did a couple of months
and then averaged it out and they're like, you're gonna
need that mostly in retirement. And we looked at each
other and I don't want to say the number because
we were like, we couldn't believe we spent that much
a month. We were like, that's how much is going out.
We're gonna need that per month, which is scary.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Right now, my net worth is twenty three, but susans Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, the Susan's a little higher, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Okay, So it's a big weekend folks. Crusade for children
or at Crusade for children, not just the trivia is
happening this weekend. I'll be out there Sunday with Terry Minors.
Terry will be on TV tonight a on WHS eleven.
Of course there's the seventy fifth birthday of Saint Matthew's
with the bands in Brown Park, and of course the
(02:54):
Shredded event tomorrow from ten am until one pm. Again,
there's a tent set up right out front of me.
Curia Walter Advisors, ninety one hundred, Shelby bill Road Plus
we'll give you the phone numbers and everything. They've got
choice Toroy's got a book. Uh, and you need that book.
It's a guide book. It's a rule book to say, hey,
here's what you want to do, don't do this, and
some advice as you kind of navigate getting to retirement
(03:17):
because the big questions are taxes, how much more taxes?
A you're going to be paying? I just finished Yellowstone
last night and Jack and I was like, you know,
the sad thing is is that is that one of
the worst things for America is people can't keep their land,
can't keep your house because taxes go up every month,
and the government can't wait to say, oh you can't
(03:37):
afford that. Okay, you're gonna have to sell it. Do
people that want to do something different with it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, you know, I'll live off the grid, so under
an oak tree out of the woods.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I was gonna say, but no way, I am or
the grid. I am the grid. No, but it is
serious business. It is nice to know what you need,
how much you need. More importantly, when you can retire
and factor in all those factors of taxes going up,
(04:12):
oh my god. I mean, because that's it's so out
of most people's league unless you're in that industry.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It just makes it easier for you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, I won't have to worry about inheritance tax for
my family.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You have that money.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Did I tell all my niece, all my nieces and nephews,
they know that they're in my will in pencil, so
they can be at any time.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Any day now. But to get back to that point,
if you do your what you're spending every month, Let's
say it's eight thousand dollars a month, you're spending eight
thousand dollars as a family or a couple, you're gonna
need at least that because things are gonna get more
expensive and everything else. You're gonna need eight thousand dollars
a month. How are you generating that eight thousand dollars
a month in retirement? That's scary. But the best thing
(04:56):
about this place is that you get to our age.
I'm fifty six, Dwight is sixty three, and you get
you get to a point to where you can choose
your retirement date February twenty four of twenty thirty three, right,
whatever it is, and you're just like I have now,
I have a date. I have a date to retire.
(05:16):
That's a really good date.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I when you start the countdown, start the.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Countdown clock and that's what a curio can do, is
set that date for you, so I'd come on by again.
The shredded event is tomorrow, all right, So lots going
on Crusade. We got Saint Matthew's birthday. They've canceled the
B twenty five that's taking off from yas Field with
the Honor here a Bluegrass Honor flights. They I don't
(05:39):
know how many World War Two vets they were putting
on that ding, but we talked about it last week.
John and I went and saw it last year and
John and I were like, of course the World War
two vets. They're like you punks because we were like,
we were like, I'm not sure I'm getting on an
eighty year old plane. Because it took a little bit.
They went can can can can Can Can Can can
(05:59):
can't can't can can can can can't can't. Boom, the
explosions went off, boom, and all this black smoke came
out of the engines and then downed it out. We're laughing,
but it looked cool. It looked cool. I'm not sure
if I want to get on it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And the only way I would get one one if
they let me wear the little leather helmet, you know,
with the goggles, and I can run out to it
with a leather jacket on and a scarf.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Oh look, it's make a wish. He used to fly
in the plane.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Hey, you know what?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So so I've got a torn achilles tenn't wait what happened?
I might contact the dream of wish.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It's foundation.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Dream of wish is set wish. Dream of wish is set.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Up for guys like me. Yeah, that have overcome.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
No dream of wish? Was you going to a bar
late at night.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
In the eighties, Hey, we got to talk about it.
Normally we don't talk about national politics on it. Sometimes
we do.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I know what you're gone, let's say.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But yesterday when the Department of Agriculture released their study
on cherries, I thought that was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Absolutely, you never sent me national politics.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And I said it yesterday yesterday, Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It was Elon going on and saying major bomb drop
that Trump is uh is involved in the Epstein files.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
But here's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And I'm maybe I'm wrong, and I usually am. I
think they ricahoots together and it's a big show. I
don't know, but I just don't know what to believe
anymore unless I see it with my face in person.
AI has made it where I can't. I can't watch
a video and say, oh, yeah, that happened.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well, who could have predicted that. Donald Trump and a
bunch of billionaires that never hear the word know we're
going to last more than six months. I mean, these
billionaires get to be billionaires because they push people around.
They get what they want their they're manipulative. They are
very good at what they do. But they also don't here. No,
(08:01):
they have a whole team of people that have great idea. Sir,
I don't like it. I love it, and hey, that's
our phrase. I get that. But who knew that after
a while it was gonna be But he's got a
good point. Elon Musk, I think he's got a good point.
His job was doze to kill, to not kill, but
to cut expenses, and then the big beautiful bill came
(08:24):
out and he disagreed with it, and that's when the
seed of discontent was planted. Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I also remember when Handsome Jimmy Valiett got in a
feud with Billy Superstar Dundee and he trashed his car
with a baseball bat and different examples like that on
Saturday Morning Wrestling.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
He wasn't really Billy Dundee's car.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
What Yeah, no, but I'm just saying it's all a
big show.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Didn't Billy Dundee have a like a Texas star on
the butt of his head?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
He was Australian, Oh is Australian.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
He had a star on all these little panties that he.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Wore when he wrestled.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Panties, Man, they kind of looked like pannies. Man, they
were wrestling. Oh, no, wrestling performance shorts. Hey, you know
Billy Dundee is still out there. Uh, Joey Strader sent
me a thing a while back. It was just like
him at some show. I don't know if he surely
(09:21):
he's not wrestling.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
No, man, you're talking about that was forty years ago, dude.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But people said I would never survive this Achilles standing
and look at me here right now.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Everyone said, you know, they did neither, not even the
doctors that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
One said we all around you wouldn't survive.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
No, that's not what they said.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I was on the table and doctor Ellis and doctor
Bodenhausen came in and both.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Of them it's the look on both of their faces.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Okay, uh, let's talk about Okay, I'm gonna give you
a guess. I don't know if you saw the story.
If you saw the story, then don't then you can't
be legitimate. And guess how how many years has Little
Garden has been closed?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
All right, let me do the walk back on this.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I'm gonna say, Okay, I'm gonna kind of come within
a window or to have these.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Guess you're right on it. It's nineteen twenty, it's nineteen
years two thousand and six. So when I saw that,
I was like, it's been closed since two thousand and six.
And I was like, I thought I went to a
show or did an event there after two thousand and six,
But I guess I didn't. And God bless the people
that have to fix that place up. Do you understand
(10:32):
nineteen years of nothing.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
That's the city's fault.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh if if you ask me.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That's three mayors, by the way, that's three mayors of
letting that go.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
You talk about all of these initiatives that we have
had in the past. Hey, it's you know this and
that and the other deal or whatever. You know, the
city builds up something I would have loved to have
had Louisville Gardens just semi restored. Listen when I went
to Louisville Gardens for concerts, yeah, in the eighties, Yeah,
it wasn't all that. Uh, it was pretty worn down then.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Man, you know that's a great point. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, like Woisville Gardens, same with Cincinnati Guards. You don't
walk in and go, wow, look at this. No, everything
is smoke stained, everything has a tinge of brown on it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
But I love Destroyer.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
The roof always had missing tiles, always, whether if you
were there for wrestling on Tuesday nights, if you are
for a concert, graduation. It never looked good. But I
loved the venue. I know so many great concerts there
and there was not a bad seat in that house.
I was hoping they were gonna revive that with a
hockey team or something.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah, but no, so yesterday they uh.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
And I will say this, Uh, Robert Stuivers, the President
of the Senate. I get if you don't agree with
his politics. I understand that that's what America is about.
But if you're a little villion you have no idea.
Robert Steivers, the President of the Senate in Frankfurt is
the most Louisville friendly. Oh, Frankfurt leader. Now I'm gonna
(12:05):
say contemporary Louisville history, because I'll go back about fifty years.
I go back to Harvey Sloan in the seventies. So
I don't I can't tell you the sixties or fifties.
But he is the he's the friendliest. He's he remark,
what was the last not this past session, but the
one before, two billion dollars to Louisville. Louisville's gotten zero
from Frankfort.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Viever.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
All right, he's the first guy that said we're gonna
work with Louisville. Not just work, we're gonna help them
get where they need. And he's part of this initiation, and.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He's part of the initiative. And here's another part of
that initiative. There's been a lot of people in the
Republican Party to start winning these House seats, right, these
Senate seats. So he's recognized that, hey, you know, and
so things are actually starting to get done in Louisville
through Frankfort in the General Assembly.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
But my wife was down there, she was part of this.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
She was part of that, and I was so proud
to see her there.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So Susan was there, you know, and I was I
was being brave yesterday. Oh right, but I wasn't that brave.
So she went down there. And then last night I
talked to her. I said, how the guardens thing? I said,
what did it look like? She said, it looked like
the last time we were there. And then I said,
I said, I what because I carved my name in
one of those seats in a Judish priest concert.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Because the people don't understand the back of the wood
there wouldn't seats.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Woulden't there seats? Yes, And I carved my name in
one of those wooden seats. I said, I wonder she goes.
They were all the wooden seats. Everything's the same.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Uh, Tom Petty, I saw him there. One of the
best concerts I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, I had to work the station.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That was the Wildflowers tour, and they said the entire
one before that, Oh I remember Wildflowers.

News Radio eight forty whs Hallo, Joe Bosh, all right,
welcome back news Radio eight forty whas the Tony and
Dwight jo brought you by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety.
(18:30):
Come on by tomorrow mer Curi your Wealth Advisors a
free shredding event from ten am to one. It's set
up right on the sidewalk. Actually, you could probably pull
up Troy and just hand the stuff and then they'll
shreddit or you have to get out of the car
and all that.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Oh no, we'll have a well, the truck will be
right out front. You can pull right up there, drop
everything off on load park, come in with some barbecues.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So what are you suggesting?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Why?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, what stuff do we shred?
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Any documents that old? Documents that are too old, usually
keep tax returns for about five years. Okay, And let's
be honest. Most people have everything digital these days. Yeah,
so having them in hard copy printed is a little outdated.
So just bring that stuff in. We don't need that
those records in house. Let's bring everything in shred.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Got some stuff in the addict I needed to show.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, the secret to getting ahead is getting started.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Oh yeah, look at you. Is that your quote?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
No, that's Mark Twain. And it's in the book Retirement
three to sixty Game Planned by Troy Bolton. Uh and
it covers longevity.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Call this thing.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It covers everything that you need to know for guys
like my age and younger or older even.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
It's basically a roadmap into our retirement planning process.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
How do people get this book, Troy?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
They can text in the word book to five eleven
eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Two seven eleven eighty eight. The Word Book it's it's printed,
by the way, in larger print for me, for for uh.
It's perfect for guys like.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Us, Allen mind, just to make sure.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But you know what I do like it that way, man,
Yeah too, you get it easy read.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, you got to read this thing. All right.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Let's talk about planning for retirement. Because I'm fifty seven.
I plan on retiring as quickly as possible. I'm gonna
do an extra year with Tony if they don't fire us,
so we can go out together house. I mean, I'm
guessing in your teams you can start, or even later
in life you can start.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Let's talk retire.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
You definitely need to start saving in your early years, Okay,
as soon as you start working, start saving, Start building
up that emergency account, Start investing as soon as you can.
There's nothing more powerful than compound interest over twenty thirty,
forty fifty years. It's amazing how much you can build
if you just start young, start later. It's a little
bit hard. You gotta play catch up. Gott to save
a lot more at a time. But then when you
(20:51):
get to what we call the retirement red zone is
fifty and up, you're ten to twelve years out from retirement.
That's when the planning really gets excited.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Here's what he's gonna tell you about the stock market, right, Yeah,
stock market pays off three out of four years? Is
that on average?
Speaker 6 (21:09):
It's actually about.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's higher than that, Isn't it six out of eight years?
Six out of eight years. You're gonna win in the
stock market. It is. It's the It is a It
really is a payoff. And whether it's six percent or
some years twenty five percent.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
It can be huge depending on your risk tolerance. But
the worst thing that can happen if you're ten years
out from retirement, let's say a two thousand and eight happens,
you lose forty percent of your portfolio. Your playing just changed. Yeah,
you're not working. You're not retiring when you want to.
Now you're working another three to four years because in
two thousand and eight, when the market dropped, it took
four to five years just to break even.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Troy Bolton is our guest his book Retirement three to
sixty Game Plan. Troy, I will get back to what
you said about compound interest, because it's absolutely fascinating and
I'm sure you're familiar with the charge and you'll correct
me because my mouth will be off.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
But it shows on this.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Someone at eighteen years old putting in two thousand dollars
a year, and then they stop and I want to
say age twenty.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Five thirty or so, let's say thirty thirty.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Then to show somebody picking up at that age eighth
or age thirty, whatever it might be, and contributing that
amount all the way to retire it. They never really
catch up. I think it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
On this compound you're saying, you're saying the guy that
invested early, it has more money or the same. Yeah,
and stop investing.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
That's so much more because he started early and he
has more time for that to grow. And it's even
the same way when we look at our kids. Some
walls that they change here recently with the five twenty
nine plans used to only could spend that on educational census.
I know, well, now you can take that money and
put it into a WROTH plan for your children. I
(22:48):
mean think about that.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Wow. Yeah, if thost corporations limit your WRATH contributions to right,
because again the government wants their money. Oh all right,
So if you do the tradition four to one k,
which is Dwight and I. My wife has been doing WROTH,
but only a certain percentage for her corporation, but they
only allow her to do a certain amount of Once
she hits that number, she can't put any more in
(23:10):
for the rest of the year. I find it fascinating
because and we will only know until we retire and go, well,
I'm glad you did that WROTH because you already paid
the taxes on it, but you're forced to take I
don't know, Dwight. Are we gonna do seventy two and
a half? Are we gonna make it?
Speaker 6 (23:25):
It's seventy five for you?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Is it? Well, it's you mean the mandatory withdrawal is
seventy five seventy year and then what do they have
to take out?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
You have to take out? It's about four percent starting
at seventy five, and the increases.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Of your total money you have in there pre tax money, okay,
because they want their money.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
They want their money even if you don't need it,
and that becomes a big issue.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
We have some clients that have let's say there's social security,
a decent pension, and they have all this IRA money,
Let's say a million dollars setting in an IRA pre
tax account.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Are you okay, Dwight. Dwight thinks. Dwight thinks there's an
ice cream truck. I wanted, Troy. I wanted to warn
you because even with the cast, he was going to
start running. He was going to start running for the
ice cream.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
I heard something. I don't know what it was.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Moll always told me when I was young, when you
hear the noise the music, it means he's out of iye,
you were fat.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Go ahead, Troy, I'm sorry, no, no, no, So the
taxes so you mandatory four percent out. But here's the
conversation that you and I have had on the show before,
which is we know what the taxes are, now we
don't know what it's supposed to.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Change at the end of this year. I heard you
all talk about the big, beautiful bill that's supposed to
extend those maybe make him permanent. But we've also seen
the backside of that that it could cause more and
more debt on the country, so it could cause bigger issues.
So our focus is to focus on us, our personal
economy and make sure we're paying as little tax as possible.
(24:54):
I mean, think about if you had a wroth. When
you first started investing, you paid the taxes, which CPAs
hat this pay the taxes now while you're young, start
investing thirty forty year career of you saving after tax
tax free money. Now you have a million dollar portfolio
of completely tax free money that's all yours, A traditional
(25:15):
four one K. Let's say you're at a million bucks,
you own seven hundred and fifty thousand, the government owns
the rest.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, no, that's true. I think because my kids now
are twenty two and twenty and they're cause we're going
to make sure they're going to do that right, because
they have parents that are saying, hey, we're doing this,
you're doing this. John's already put twenty thousand in he's
twenty two because he got a bonus from the Navy
and all that, but he's gonna he's invested it. I
think of the advantage he has going forward, and the
(25:44):
other kids that have a student loan debt and all
that that they can't get involved. It is an insane
concept to start as young, because I didn't. I didn't
start till twenty nine or thirty years old, but I
caught up pretty quickly. But it is you have to
have a coach, and that's what you guys do. But
I love doing the show. I got it. I'll be honest.
I've told you this before. I was not thrilled that
(26:04):
I wanted to do a financial show. It wasn't a
sports show, it wasn't an entertainment show, and I was
like a financial show. But after two weeks, what did
I say to you on the show? I said, so,
this is fascinating. It's fascinating to dive in to all
this because it is a game and you need a coach.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I think the reason you didn't love it as much
upfront is because we have a lot of compliance that
we have to watch.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Oh that's right. I know it can be a compliance
of a compliance buster.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Hey Troy, he's a stickler for the rules. I want
to go back to your book and I want to
listeners know how and can get it in a retirement
three to sixty game played by Troy Bolton, and this
literally it does cover everything when you're playing it. Medicare, Medicaid,
this book.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Seriously, I don't think anything's left out of this. Man.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
We tried not to leave anything out of it. Where
Allen and I have been in conversations about updating it,
doing a two point zero version just to give some
updated information, But really what kind of set it all
for me? And after we did the book, I'm like, Okay,
it's great. What's this book going to do. It's not
like we're selling it to make a profit. We give
it away for people to learn. I met with a
(27:10):
guy probably six months after I wrote the book, and
he said I read the book. He reached out on
the radio show that we do every Sunday on WHS eleven,
and he wanted the book. We called him, said do
you want to meet with an advisor? Not now? He said,
I want to read the book. So when he called
back in, he said, you know what, a few things
(27:31):
that you said in there just just hit home with me,
right bulls up. I need to set down with you.
Because I've been with so and so financial advisor for
thirty years. They mentioned none of this. They don't talk
about planning, They don't talk about tax planning, income strategies,
medicare planning, where do I go to get my health
insurance if I retire before sixty five? None of that
(27:54):
is mentioned with a regular find.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Well, let's be honest, people are people businesses or businesses.
When they've got a client, I don't even it's been
with them for twenty five years, they're setting and forgetting
it right. I mean, that's that's what happened. They're not
bad people. It's just that's what happens. You're like, oh,
well we have that client. They're never leaving. I'm not
going to put a wrench on that. And that's not
the way you all do it at me, Curia.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Well, and just to twist a little bit what you said,
or to add a little bit what you said. When
you look at you have two different types of advisors.
You have your accumulation specialist, somebody that you're going to
start with young and just grow, grow, grow, grow grow.
But then we get to the point where how do
I start taking money out of this? They'll say, well,
you can just take a distribution. We'll just take money out, right,
(28:34):
But we set down, figure out what your goals are,
how much you need on a monthly basis, and build
an income plan that's based on your risk tolerance, build
on how much you have, but that's built on exactly
what you say you and Jackie want to do. Yeah,
So it's more customized to you, and we look at
those strategies. So we focus on distribution side of advising
(28:55):
more than in it growth side of it.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
And here's the thing I don't want to igno or
either is people think the retirement is a finish line.
It's just starting like it's halftime. So you people go, oh, well,
I'm retired, We're good. No, that's maybe the most time
you need or retire somebody like mycurial to come in
and and and guide you through, especially when you get
up to the seventy eighty years old, when you're starting
(29:18):
to maybe get in inheritance and how to handle that
is insane.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Oh, there's a lot of different rules that you got
to look at and you got to stick with because
you can get penalized by the irs pretty heavily. So
getting a retirement coach is very important. It's fight out
to your retirement plan. I mean, I think you know
that just from talking with us for so long. You've
been dealing with Allen for what ten twelve years now?
Oh yeah, so and I've been working there for been
(29:43):
here thirteen years now, so it's been good.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, you've been doing what you're doing in the industry
for almost twenty years and then you write this book.
It covers HSA and everything.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
And by the way, in this book is it a
chapter Dwight And.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
No, this is it's just a little as part of
just one part of a chapter in this book. Is
there a perfect product when it comes to financial strategies?
You can find out by getting this Oh I like it.
Find out if there is a perfect product when it
comes to financial strategies by getting this book by written
about Troy Bolton Retirement three to sixty game plan.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
And here's the other thing before we go to break.
I think people want to know who their advisor is.
Alan has started this company a long time ago and
it's morphed into different things, but he has been He's
South End boy from the valley, from the Valley. This
is his home. The you know, he started in the
(31:02):
South End. That's what he is. You have two kids,
small kids, three sorry, three three boys. You're gonna need
the money for extra furniture, Sam's furniture and mental health care. Yeah,
that's but I think it's important people know that this
isn't an outside this isn't a national company that is
(31:23):
going to cookie Cutter you. You are local guys, and
they're not going anywhere.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
We're local guys. My family, Alan's my uncle from South End,
family owned company. We want to keep it that way
because that's how we treat our clients as we dream
like family.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Yea.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
I have multiple clients that ask me, well, what would
you do for your mother? That's exact play.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Amen. Amen, all right, Troy, thank you. We're gonna have
you on again to talk about retirement. Three sixty the
game Playing the books written by Troy Bolton. You're gonna
have a follow up book soon and then we're okay.
I figured that I have a story of the worst
that's coming up next to the worst decisions in corporate
history for the United States. The top one is New Coke.
(32:08):
But there was a speaking of books. There was a publisher.
Everyone passed on Harry Potter. Oh really, and some small
publishing group because the eight year old daughter said, dad,
you've got to do this. They had like two writers
on their list. They published Harry Potter and that's a
multi billion dollar deal.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Now life changing.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
It is life changing. But the list is crazy, and
you know, and this is why you need an advisor.
You never know. You never know what companies are going
to make. Good decisions are bad. But Troy, thank you
so much for what you do, bro. And the shredding
event is tomorrow ten am to one right here at
ninety one hundred Shelbyville Road, just to take a write

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I wouldn't say eighty six to sour cream, but anybody
would freak out on.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Me because that's restaurant lingo, that's for sure. Mercurio Wealth Advisors,
Alan Troy Bolton, they're your financial advisors. Folks. You need
a coach. Even Michael Jordan had a coach. You need
a coach to get you through it. Whether you're barely
towards retirement or you're already retired. You it's like a boat.
(01:14):
You got to have a wrench on it all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And you don't want to start at the last second.
It's never ever too early to start saving. I wish
someone would have got a hold of me at eighteen
years old.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Well, thank thank god.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
For our wives. Yeah, no, kidding, right, our.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Wives said, hey, we need a plan absolutely for what.
Now is the time because Dwight and I always said,
well we only need some board shorts and some flip flops,
but we're gonna need a little more than that.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well, neither one of us, to be truthful, thought that
we would be alive at fifty seven.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's true, so you know, well, yeah, neither one of
us supposed to. We're you actually, I know, I actually
really tested that theory. I really tested that theory. But
it is retirement is weird and uh we I don't
want to say. Jack, They were like, look, how what
you spending a month? And Jack and now look at
each other. We're like, we're not really.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Sure at all.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So we sat down and did a couple of months
and then averaged it out and they're like, you're gonna
need that mostly in retirement. And we looked at each
other and I don't want to say the number because
we were like, we couldn't believe we spent that much
a month. We were like, that's how much is going out.
We're gonna need that per month, which is scary.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Right now, my net worth is twenty three, but susans Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, the Susan's a little higher, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Okay, So it's a big weekend folks. Crusade for children
or at Crusade for children, not just the trivia is
happening this weekend. I'll be out there Sunday with Terry Minors.
Terry will be on TV tonight a on WHS eleven.
Of course there's the seventy fifth birthday of Saint Matthew's
with the bands in Brown Park, and of course the
(02:54):
Shredded event tomorrow from ten am until one pm. Again,
there's a tent set up right out front of me.
Curia Walter Advisors, ninety one hundred, Shelby bill Road Plus
we'll give you the phone numbers and everything. They've got
choice Toroy's got a book. Uh, and you need that book.
It's a guide book. It's a rule book to say, hey,
here's what you want to do, don't do this, and
some advice as you kind of navigate getting to retirement
(03:17):
because the big questions are taxes, how much more taxes?
A you're going to be paying? I just finished Yellowstone
last night and Jack and I was like, you know,
the sad thing is is that is that one of
the worst things for America is people can't keep their land,
can't keep your house because taxes go up every month,
and the government can't wait to say, oh you can't
(03:37):
afford that. Okay, you're gonna have to sell it. Do
people that want to do something different with it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, you know, I'll live off the grid, so under
an oak tree out of the woods.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I was gonna say, but no way, I am or
the grid. I am the grid. No, but it is
serious business. It is nice to know what you need,
how much you need. More importantly, when you can retire
and factor in all those factors of taxes going up,
(04:12):
oh my god. I mean, because that's it's so out
of most people's league unless you're in that industry.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It just makes it easier for you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, I won't have to worry about inheritance tax for
my family.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You have that money.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Did I tell all my niece, all my nieces and nephews,
they know that they're in my will in pencil, so
they can be at any time.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Any day now. But to get back to that point,
if you do your what you're spending every month, Let's
say it's eight thousand dollars a month, you're spending eight
thousand dollars as a family or a couple, you're gonna
need at least that because things are gonna get more
expensive and everything else. You're gonna need eight thousand dollars
a month. How are you generating that eight thousand dollars
a month in retirement? That's scary. But the best thing
(04:56):
about this place is that you get to our age.
I'm fifty six, Dwight is sixty three, and you get
you get to a point to where you can choose
your retirement date February twenty four of twenty thirty three, right,
whatever it is, and you're just like I have now,
I have a date. I have a date to retire.
(05:16):
That's a really good date.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I when you start the countdown, start the.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Countdown clock and that's what a curio can do, is
set that date for you, so I'd come on by again.
The shredded event is tomorrow, all right, So lots going
on Crusade. We got Saint Matthew's birthday. They've canceled the
B twenty five that's taking off from yas Field with
the Honor here a Bluegrass Honor flights. They I don't
(05:39):
know how many World War Two vets they were putting
on that ding, but we talked about it last week.
John and I went and saw it last year and
John and I were like, of course the World War
two vets. They're like you punks because we were like,
we were like, I'm not sure I'm getting on an
eighty year old plane. Because it took a little bit.
They went can can can can Can Can Can can
(05:59):
can't can't can can can can can't can't. Boom, the
explosions went off, boom, and all this black smoke came
out of the engines and then downed it out. We're laughing,
but it looked cool. It looked cool. I'm not sure
if I want to get on it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And the only way I would get one one if
they let me wear the little leather helmet, you know,
with the goggles, and I can run out to it
with a leather jacket on and a scarf.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Oh look, it's make a wish. He used to fly
in the plane.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Hey, you know what?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So so I've got a torn achilles tenn't wait what happened?
I might contact the dream of wish.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It's foundation.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Dream of wish is set wish. Dream of wish is set.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Up for guys like me. Yeah, that have overcome.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
No dream of wish? Was you going to a bar
late at night.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
In the eighties, Hey, we got to talk about it.
Normally we don't talk about national politics on it. Sometimes
we do.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I know what you're gone, let's say.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But yesterday when the Department of Agriculture released their study
on cherries, I thought that was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Absolutely, you never sent me national politics.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And I said it yesterday yesterday, Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It was Elon going on and saying major bomb drop
that Trump is uh is involved in the Epstein files.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
But here's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And I'm maybe I'm wrong, and I usually am. I
think they ricahoots together and it's a big show. I
don't know, but I just don't know what to believe
anymore unless I see it with my face in person.
AI has made it where I can't. I can't watch
a video and say, oh, yeah, that happened.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well, who could have predicted that. Donald Trump and a
bunch of billionaires that never hear the word know we're
going to last more than six months. I mean, these
billionaires get to be billionaires because they push people around.
They get what they want their they're manipulative. They are
very good at what they do. But they also don't here. No,
(08:01):
they have a whole team of people that have great idea. Sir,
I don't like it. I love it, and hey, that's
our phrase. I get that. But who knew that after
a while it was gonna be But he's got a
good point. Elon Musk, I think he's got a good point.
His job was doze to kill, to not kill, but
to cut expenses, and then the big beautiful bill came
(08:24):
out and he disagreed with it, and that's when the
seed of discontent was planted. Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I also remember when Handsome Jimmy Valiett got in a
feud with Billy Superstar Dundee and he trashed his car
with a baseball bat and different examples like that on
Saturday Morning Wrestling.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
He wasn't really Billy Dundee's car.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
What Yeah, no, but I'm just saying it's all a
big show.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Didn't Billy Dundee have a like a Texas star on
the butt of his head?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
He was Australian, Oh is Australian.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
He had a star on all these little panties that he.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Wore when he wrestled.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Panties, Man, they kind of looked like pannies. Man, they
were wrestling. Oh, no, wrestling performance shorts. Hey, you know
Billy Dundee is still out there. Uh, Joey Strader sent
me a thing a while back. It was just like
him at some show. I don't know if he surely
(09:21):
he's not wrestling.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
No, man, you're talking about that was forty years ago, dude.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But people said I would never survive this Achilles standing
and look at me here right now.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Everyone said, you know, they did neither, not even the
doctors that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
One said we all around you wouldn't survive.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
No, that's not what they said.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I was on the table and doctor Ellis and doctor
Bodenhausen came in and both.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Of them it's the look on both of their faces.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Okay, uh, let's talk about Okay, I'm gonna give you
a guess. I don't know if you saw the story.
If you saw the story, then don't then you can't
be legitimate. And guess how how many years has Little
Garden has been closed?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
All right, let me do the walk back on this.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I'm gonna say, Okay, I'm gonna kind of come within
a window or to have these.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Guess you're right on it. It's nineteen twenty, it's nineteen
years two thousand and six. So when I saw that,
I was like, it's been closed since two thousand and six.
And I was like, I thought I went to a
show or did an event there after two thousand and six,
But I guess I didn't. And God bless the people
that have to fix that place up. Do you understand
(10:32):
nineteen years of nothing.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
That's the city's fault.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh if if you ask me.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That's three mayors, by the way, that's three mayors of
letting that go.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
You talk about all of these initiatives that we have
had in the past. Hey, it's you know this and
that and the other deal or whatever. You know, the
city builds up something I would have loved to have
had Louisville Gardens just semi restored. Listen when I went
to Louisville Gardens for concerts, yeah, in the eighties, Yeah,
it wasn't all that. Uh, it was pretty worn down then.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Man, you know that's a great point. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, like Woisville Gardens, same with Cincinnati Guards. You don't
walk in and go, wow, look at this. No, everything
is smoke stained, everything has a tinge of brown on it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
But I love Destroyer.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
The roof always had missing tiles, always, whether if you
were there for wrestling on Tuesday nights, if you are
for a concert, graduation. It never looked good. But I
loved the venue. I know so many great concerts there
and there was not a bad seat in that house.
I was hoping they were gonna revive that with a
hockey team or something.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah, but no, so yesterday they uh.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
And I will say this, Uh, Robert Stuivers, the President
of the Senate. I get if you don't agree with
his politics. I understand that that's what America is about.
But if you're a little villion you have no idea.
Robert Steivers, the President of the Senate in Frankfurt is
the most Louisville friendly. Oh, Frankfurt leader. Now I'm gonna
(12:05):
say contemporary Louisville history, because I'll go back about fifty years.
I go back to Harvey Sloan in the seventies. So
I don't I can't tell you the sixties or fifties.
But he is the he's the friendliest. He's he remark,
what was the last not this past session, but the
one before, two billion dollars to Louisville. Louisville's gotten zero
from Frankfort.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Viever.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
All right, he's the first guy that said we're gonna
work with Louisville. Not just work, we're gonna help them
get where they need. And he's part of this initiation, and.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He's part of the initiative. And here's another part of
that initiative. There's been a lot of people in the
Republican Party to start winning these House seats, right, these
Senate seats. So he's recognized that, hey, you know, and
so things are actually starting to get done in Louisville
through Frankfort in the General Assembly.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
But my wife was down there, she was part of this.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
She was part of that, and I was so proud
to see her there.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So Susan was there, you know, and I was I
was being brave yesterday. Oh right, but I wasn't that brave.
So she went down there. And then last night I
talked to her. I said, how the guardens thing? I said,
what did it look like? She said, it looked like
the last time we were there. And then I said,
I said, I what because I carved my name in
one of those seats in a Judish priest concert.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Because the people don't understand the back of the wood
there wouldn't seats.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Woulden't there seats? Yes, And I carved my name in
one of those wooden seats. I said, I wonder she goes.
They were all the wooden seats. Everything's the same.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Uh, Tom Petty, I saw him there. One of the
best concerts I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, I had to work the station.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That was the Wildflowers tour, and they said the entire
one before that, Oh I remember Wildflowers.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He kicked it off in Louisville. Everybody got to go
but me.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Gary Guthrie made me stay home or stay home, stay
at the station and work.

News Radio eight forty whs Hallo, Joe Bosh, all right,
welcome back news Radio eight forty whas the Tony and
Dwight jo brought you by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety.
(18:30):
Come on by tomorrow mer Curi your Wealth Advisors a
free shredding event from ten am to one. It's set
up right on the sidewalk. Actually, you could probably pull
up Troy and just hand the stuff and then they'll
shreddit or you have to get out of the car
and all that.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Oh no, we'll have a well, the truck will be
right out front. You can pull right up there, drop
everything off on load park, come in with some barbecues.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So what are you suggesting?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Why?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, what stuff do we shred?
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Any documents that old? Documents that are too old, usually
keep tax returns for about five years. Okay, And let's
be honest. Most people have everything digital these days. Yeah,
so having them in hard copy printed is a little outdated.
So just bring that stuff in. We don't need that
those records in house. Let's bring everything in shred.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Got some stuff in the addict I needed to show.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, the secret to getting ahead is getting started.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Oh yeah, look at you. Is that your quote?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
No, that's Mark Twain. And it's in the book Retirement
three to sixty Game Planned by Troy Bolton. Uh and
it covers longevity.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Call this thing.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It covers everything that you need to know for guys
like my age and younger or older even.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
It's basically a roadmap into our retirement planning process.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
How do people get this book, Troy?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
They can text in the word book to five eleven
eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Two seven eleven eighty eight. The Word Book it's it's printed,
by the way, in larger print for me, for for uh.
It's perfect for guys like.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Us, Allen mind, just to make sure.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But you know what I do like it that way, man,
Yeah too, you get it easy read.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, you got to read this thing. All right.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Let's talk about planning for retirement. Because I'm fifty seven.
I plan on retiring as quickly as possible. I'm gonna
do an extra year with Tony if they don't fire us,
so we can go out together house. I mean, I'm
guessing in your teams you can start, or even later
in life you can start.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Let's talk retire.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
You definitely need to start saving in your early years, Okay,
as soon as you start working, start saving, Start building
up that emergency account, Start investing as soon as you can.
There's nothing more powerful than compound interest over twenty thirty,
forty fifty years. It's amazing how much you can build
if you just start young, start later. It's a little
bit hard. You gotta play catch up. Gott to save
a lot more at a time. But then when you
(20:51):
get to what we call the retirement red zone is
fifty and up, you're ten to twelve years out from retirement.
That's when the planning really gets excited.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Here's what he's gonna tell you about the stock market, right, Yeah,
stock market pays off three out of four years? Is
that on average?
Speaker 6 (21:09):
It's actually about.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's higher than that, Isn't it six out of eight years?
Six out of eight years. You're gonna win in the
stock market. It is. It's the It is a It
really is a payoff. And whether it's six percent or
some years twenty five percent.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
It can be huge depending on your risk tolerance. But
the worst thing that can happen if you're ten years
out from retirement, let's say a two thousand and eight happens,
you lose forty percent of your portfolio. Your playing just changed. Yeah,
you're not working. You're not retiring when you want to.
Now you're working another three to four years because in
two thousand and eight, when the market dropped, it took
four to five years just to break even.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Troy Bolton is our guest his book Retirement three to
sixty Game Plan. Troy, I will get back to what
you said about compound interest, because it's absolutely fascinating and
I'm sure you're familiar with the charge and you'll correct
me because my mouth will be off.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
But it shows on this.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Someone at eighteen years old putting in two thousand dollars
a year, and then they stop and I want to
say age twenty.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Five thirty or so, let's say thirty thirty.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Then to show somebody picking up at that age eighth
or age thirty, whatever it might be, and contributing that
amount all the way to retire it. They never really
catch up. I think it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
On this compound you're saying, you're saying the guy that
invested early, it has more money or the same. Yeah,
and stop investing.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
That's so much more because he started early and he
has more time for that to grow. And it's even
the same way when we look at our kids. Some
walls that they change here recently with the five twenty
nine plans used to only could spend that on educational census.
I know, well, now you can take that money and
put it into a WROTH plan for your children. I
(22:48):
mean think about that.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Wow. Yeah, if thost corporations limit your WRATH contributions to right,
because again the government wants their money. Oh all right,
So if you do the tradition four to one k,
which is Dwight and I. My wife has been doing WROTH,
but only a certain percentage for her corporation, but they
only allow her to do a certain amount of Once
she hits that number, she can't put any more in
(23:10):
for the rest of the year. I find it fascinating
because and we will only know until we retire and go, well,
I'm glad you did that WROTH because you already paid
the taxes on it, but you're forced to take I
don't know, Dwight. Are we gonna do seventy two and
a half? Are we gonna make it?
Speaker 6 (23:25):
It's seventy five for you?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Is it? Well, it's you mean the mandatory withdrawal is
seventy five seventy year and then what do they have
to take out?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
You have to take out? It's about four percent starting
at seventy five, and the increases.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Of your total money you have in there pre tax money, okay,
because they want their money.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
They want their money even if you don't need it,
and that becomes a big issue.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
We have some clients that have let's say there's social security,
a decent pension, and they have all this IRA money,
Let's say a million dollars setting in an IRA pre
tax account.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Are you okay, Dwight. Dwight thinks. Dwight thinks there's an
ice cream truck. I wanted, Troy. I wanted to warn
you because even with the cast, he was going to
start running. He was going to start running for the
ice cream.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
I heard something. I don't know what it was.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Moll always told me when I was young, when you
hear the noise the music, it means he's out of iye,
you were fat.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Go ahead, Troy, I'm sorry, no, no, no, So the
taxes so you mandatory four percent out. But here's the
conversation that you and I have had on the show before,
which is we know what the taxes are, now we
don't know what it's supposed to.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Change at the end of this year. I heard you
all talk about the big, beautiful bill that's supposed to
extend those maybe make him permanent. But we've also seen
the backside of that that it could cause more and
more debt on the country, so it could cause bigger issues.
So our focus is to focus on us, our personal
economy and make sure we're paying as little tax as possible.
(24:54):
I mean, think about if you had a wroth. When
you first started investing, you paid the taxes, which CPAs
hat this pay the taxes now while you're young, start
investing thirty forty year career of you saving after tax
tax free money. Now you have a million dollar portfolio
of completely tax free money that's all yours, A traditional
(25:15):
four one K. Let's say you're at a million bucks,
you own seven hundred and fifty thousand, the government owns
the rest.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, no, that's true. I think because my kids now
are twenty two and twenty and they're cause we're going
to make sure they're going to do that right, because
they have parents that are saying, hey, we're doing this,
you're doing this. John's already put twenty thousand in he's
twenty two because he got a bonus from the Navy
and all that, but he's gonna he's invested it. I
think of the advantage he has going forward, and the
(25:44):
other kids that have a student loan debt and all
that that they can't get involved. It is an insane
concept to start as young, because I didn't. I didn't
start till twenty nine or thirty years old, but I
caught up pretty quickly. But it is you have to
have a coach, and that's what you guys do. But
I love doing the show. I got it. I'll be honest.
I've told you this before. I was not thrilled that
(26:04):
I wanted to do a financial show. It wasn't a
sports show, it wasn't an entertainment show, and I was
like a financial show. But after two weeks, what did
I say to you on the show? I said, so,
this is fascinating. It's fascinating to dive in to all
this because it is a game and you need a coach.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I think the reason you didn't love it as much
upfront is because we have a lot of compliance that
we have to watch.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Oh that's right. I know it can be a compliance
of a compliance buster.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Hey Troy, he's a stickler for the rules. I want
to go back to your book and I want to
listeners know how and can get it in a retirement
three to sixty game played by Troy Bolton, and this
literally it does cover everything when you're playing it. Medicare, Medicaid,
this book.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Seriously, I don't think anything's left out of this. Man.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
We tried not to leave anything out of it. Where
Allen and I have been in conversations about updating it,
doing a two point zero version just to give some
updated information, But really what kind of set it all
for me? And after we did the book, I'm like, Okay,
it's great. What's this book going to do. It's not
like we're selling it to make a profit. We give
it away for people to learn. I met with a
(27:10):
guy probably six months after I wrote the book, and
he said I read the book. He reached out on
the radio show that we do every Sunday on WHS eleven,
and he wanted the book. We called him, said do
you want to meet with an advisor? Not now? He said,
I want to read the book. So when he called
back in, he said, you know what, a few things
(27:31):
that you said in there just just hit home with me,
right bulls up. I need to set down with you.
Because I've been with so and so financial advisor for
thirty years. They mentioned none of this. They don't talk
about planning, They don't talk about tax planning, income strategies,
medicare planning, where do I go to get my health
insurance if I retire before sixty five? None of that
(27:54):
is mentioned with a regular find.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Well, let's be honest, people are people businesses or businesses.
When they've got a client, I don't even it's been
with them for twenty five years, they're setting and forgetting
it right. I mean, that's that's what happened. They're not
bad people. It's just that's what happens. You're like, oh,
well we have that client. They're never leaving. I'm not
going to put a wrench on that. And that's not
the way you all do it at me, Curia.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Well, and just to twist a little bit what you said,
or to add a little bit what you said. When
you look at you have two different types of advisors.
You have your accumulation specialist, somebody that you're going to
start with young and just grow, grow, grow, grow grow.
But then we get to the point where how do
I start taking money out of this? They'll say, well,
you can just take a distribution. We'll just take money out, right,
(28:34):
But we set down, figure out what your goals are,
how much you need on a monthly basis, and build
an income plan that's based on your risk tolerance, build
on how much you have, but that's built on exactly
what you say you and Jackie want to do. Yeah,
So it's more customized to you, and we look at
those strategies. So we focus on distribution side of advising
(28:55):
more than in it growth side of it.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
And here's the thing I don't want to igno or
either is people think the retirement is a finish line.
It's just starting like it's halftime. So you people go, oh, well,
I'm retired, We're good. No, that's maybe the most time
you need or retire somebody like mycurial to come in
and and and guide you through, especially when you get
up to the seventy eighty years old, when you're starting
(29:18):
to maybe get in inheritance and how to handle that
is insane.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Oh, there's a lot of different rules that you got
to look at and you got to stick with because
you can get penalized by the irs pretty heavily. So
getting a retirement coach is very important. It's fight out
to your retirement plan. I mean, I think you know
that just from talking with us for so long. You've
been dealing with Allen for what ten twelve years now?
Oh yeah, so and I've been working there for been
(29:43):
here thirteen years now, so it's been good.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, you've been doing what you're doing in the industry
for almost twenty years and then you write this book.
It covers HSA and everything.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
And by the way, in this book is it a
chapter Dwight And.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
No, this is it's just a little as part of
just one part of a chapter in this book. Is
there a perfect product when it comes to financial strategies?
You can find out by getting this Oh I like it.
Find out if there is a perfect product when it
