Baby Boomers - Investment Choices For Financial Independence By Neal Sherman It's official! The nation's first baby boomer, a retired teacher from New Jersey, born seconds after midnight, January 1, 1946, applied for Social Security benefits on October 15, 2007, signaling the start of an expected avalanche of applications.
Boomers are easily the wealthiest generation entering retirement this country has ever seen. And protecting that wealth is becoming tougher and tougher. Real estate taxes have risen dramatically. Inflation, while not evident on an economic level is certainly making its presence felt through rising oil prices.
With rising life expectancies, innovations in medical science and technology, Boomers are under more pressure than ever to ensure that they make smart investment decisions and enter
retirement with a sound plan for retirement living.
A big question mark is if Social Security as we know it today will be around 10 years from, or 20 years from now. Boomers must look themselves in the mirror and ask if they are prepared for retirement. Investment choices will play a key role, with stocks/bonds and real estate being primary choices.
The market is shaky right now. Oil prices are high, the real estate market is down, the economy could head into recession and we're coming off a 5 year up cycle. Stocks certainly deserve a place in your portfolio but I'd be uncomfortable depending solely on stocks.
The buzz about go zone investing is real. We have helped a number of wealthy clients wipe out significant tax liabilities by investing in cheap positive cash flow go zone real estate. The 50% depreciation writeoff can be used dollar for dollar to reduce the adjusted gross income of a tax payer and is one of the few completely legal tax shelters left for most middle to high net worth individuals.
So, you create a tax shelter for yourself for the next 15 years to offset IRA and 401k capital gains by investing in go zone real estate. Second, go zone real estate is cheap and will appreciate longer term. Third, most go zone investments are positive cash flow. Fourth, it is turnkey, we manage the entire process.
