Nike, Kaepernick & Retirement Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do it Now. Sometimes “Later” becomes “Never”. –\u00a0<\/em>Anonymous<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On last week, just days before the start of the NFL\u2019s 2018 season, Nike announced that\u00a0Colin Kaepernick<\/a>\u00a0would be the face of the 30th anniversary \u201cJust Do It\u201d campaign. With Kaepernick still without a quarterback job and a collusion case against the league ongoing, the move achieved at least one of Nike\u2019s goals: It got attention.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With all of the attention this decision has generated for Nike and Kaepernick, it made me think about why this campaign should cause us to shift our attention and emotion towards our Retirement Planning.\u00a0 Retirement Planning you ask? Yes, Retirement planning.\u00a0 All of the energy we are devoting to burning shoes, cutting logos out of socks, debating back and forth with those who do not agree with us, Nike and Kaepernick are reaping the profits. Nike’s uniform and apparel contract with the NFL was renewed until 2028 prior to the release of the Kaepernick deal. Nike stock is being bought at unprecedented rates since the campaign release. Kaepernick’s Nike deal is reported to be worth millions of dollars per year and yet we are watching videos of people burning their Nike shoes while they are still wearing them<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the midst of our beliefs and feelings regarding the NFL, Kaepernick’s kneeling, Trump’s stance on the players protesting, Nike’s capitalistic economic decision more than a socially conscious one we should focus on our retirement future. Why? Nike, Inc. is a multi-billion dollar company. Colin Kaepernick is a multi-millionaire. Nike will be fine financially now and in the future. Kaepernick ,if advised well, will be fine financially now and in the future but what about you?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you confident that if you live another 30-40 years that you will be able to maintain your standard of living?\u00a0 Do you have a written plan in place that shows you step-by-step how you will never run out of money no matter how long you live?\u00a0 Do you know how your investments within your retirement account will fare when the stock market has its next correction? Do you know how much you will pay annually in income taxes from your Social Security income, pension income and IRA distributions? Do you know how much you are paying annually to your investment managers to advise you on your current retirement accounts? Do you have a plan to cover your monthly expenses and lifestyle needs if you became disabled and were unable to work? Do you have a plan to cover the replacement of your income for at least 10 years if you died prematurely? Do you have a plan to pay the income taxes on all of the withdrawals you will receive from your pre-tax retirement accounts? Do you know to whom and how your assets will pass after you exit stage left in this world?\u00a0 If you cannot answer all of the aforementioned questions with confidence and clarity we can help you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
