These five remarkable stars are not starring in a sequel to the Big Chill, though that could be a legitimate guess. These five stars are retired from show business if there is such a thing.

I imagine that celebrity retirement has its challenges, including endless requests for autographs, being asked when they will return to the movies, and don’t forget the tabloids hounding them for scrutiny of their appearance among other things.

I imagine that they probably live in quieter places now. They may even work with a financial planner to stretch their income and investments, save on taxes, and strategize to maximize Social Security.

Whether you’re a celebrity or looking forward to celebrating your own impending retirement, it takes careful planning to ensure your enjoy your golden years. CFPs Joe Lucey and Derek Fautsch talk about retirement weekly on Secured Retirement Radio, Saturdays at 9:00 am on KTLK 1130 am Twin Cities.

Baseball resembles financial planning more than any other sport.  Teams typically approach contests with a game plan based on their personnel, the ball park they are playing in, weather conditions, pitching match-ups and the opposition. Team managers, pay attention to the conditions and plan accordingly to create a successful outcome in each ball game.

This is not unlike financial planning in which a strategy to achieve goals is designed around several factors including resources, the environment, and more.

On last weekend’s radio show Joe Lucey and Derek Fautsch covered estates as part of retirement.  Estate planning is kind of like the walk-off home-run of the financial planning world. We at Secured Retirement Financial can help with your estate planning goals and be here to give you a high five when you touch home. I guess it was time for analogies and clichés after all.

Packing for a weekend trip is easy. It only requires two changes of clothing, cosmetics and sundries, and you’re on your way. When travelling for a week or more, packing becomes more complex. How do you anticipate what you may want to wear seven days from now? The longer journey requires careful planning.

In 1930, before Social Security, life expectancy  for Americans was age 59. This year, that number is projected to hit 80. This equates  to for some, decades without a paycheck.

Back  in the 70’s legend was that  Van Halen required  their hotels to stock M& M’ s  with the brown variety removed from each bowl. At the time, the band was top of the charts with multiple hits …the M&M story fit with our expectations of rock star’s excess. We all should take a turn being David Lee Roth.

later read this legend was true for a reason. At the time, Van Halen’s shows were very intricate; full of explosions, fireworks, and music, hence tour contracts were very important. The band was concerned that attention was being paid to the contracts at each tour stop so they included the M & M clause toward the end. That way, they knew on arrival if their contract had been read and had gotten anyone’s attention.

So what does this have to do with retirement planning?

Secured Retirement Radio’s Joe Lucey is a nationally recognized expert on retirement and Social Security. He and show colleague  Derek Fautsch have been analyzing the changes to Social Security since prior to the legislation last fall and broadcasting the changes to thousands via airwaves, the internet, classes, seminars and in-person meetings.  The changes affect millions and are pending.

If your advisor hasn’t brought up the changes to Social Security… maybe it’s time to check if this has their attention. Might you have brown M& M’s in your bowl?
