Financial ManagementPriorities for
Building Wealth
Step 1 Build a Nominal Emergency Savings Fund - $1,000 to $3,000
Step 2 Pay off High Interest Rate (credit card type) Debt – using the “debt snowball” (paying off smallest balance account first) or concentrating on the highest rate debt first – whichever provides the greatest emotional motivation.
Step 3 Revisit the Emergency Fund – building it to an amount equal to 6-12 months worth of living expenses.
Step 4 Contribute to Retirement Savings at a level that represents 10-15% of household income. Employer plans, ROTH, SEP, etc..
Step 5 If applicable, consider Savings Plans for Education such as Coverdell or 529 Savings Plans, Coverdell, etc. for children/grandchildren.
Step 6 Retire low interest debt.
Step 7 Enjoy Prosperity as You Define It!

Employee Benefit Research Institute SurveyThe Number, Lee Eisenberg, 2006
• 4 out of 10 workers say they’ve saved nothing whatsoever for the future.
• No more than 4 out of every 10 people admit they have never taken steps to calculate the actual cost of a comfortable retirement – their “NUMBER”.
• Of those who have calculated their “Number,” one in 3 doesn’t remember what those calculations revealed.
• 45 % have saved less than $25K for retirement.• Only 18% have saved more than $100K in reserves for
retirement.

Assessing current and future living expenses
• Work through Retirement Needs Worksheet • Incorporate you desired retirement lifestyle into
your projections– General rule of thumb is 75 – 80% of pre-retirement
income will be needed– HOWEVER – that does not factor in you individual
preferences for how you’d like to spend retirement. You may find that you need close to 100% of pre-retirement income to do the things on your bucket list

Assess sources of retirement income
• Work through Retirement Planning Asset Worksheet OR• Complete the Retirement Income Calculator OR• Complete the 5 Questions in the Assessing Retirement Readiness My Plan Snapshot
• Consider Earned Social Security Benefits• On-Going Farm/Ranch related income that will be generated through cash/share rents
and asset sales of resources no longer needed for your desired role in retirement
• Examine how much income can be generated and withdrawn from your retirement savings.– General rule of thumb is 4% withdrawal rate– Look at the Retirement Nest Egg Calculator to see how alternative withdrawal rates impact the
likelihood that you’ll outlive your money.

This is where the income generating capabilities of the farm/ranch business will be included. Preferred transition strategies (i.e. cash or share rental arrangements) will greatly influence the value and variability of this figure.

Determine financial reliance on the farm business as a source of income generation
• Determine what role you want to continue to play in retirement as it relates to the farm business. – Do you prefer the stability of cash rents or do you prefer the added
risks/rewards that may come from share leases? • Keep in mind that in the focus is on income-generating capabilities.
Equity acquired over time can only be converted into income by renting or selling the asset.– Closely consider the farm/ranch assets and decide whether renting or selling
best fits you required income generating needs with other motivations that might exist (semi-retirement, passing the farm to heirs, etc..).

Defining your own Retirement “Number”The Number, Lee Eisenberg, 2006
• Assuming a 4% drawdown, every $100,000 in retirement savings will provide $4,000 per year during retirement.
• $1 million provides $40K per year; $1.5 million - $60K• Assets generating post-retirement income, or other
benefit programs should be factored into your calculation. Consider a part-time post-retirement job– $100 per month is equivalent to $30K in retirement savings – $6/hr. job - 20hrs/wk – 50 wks/yr. – makes up for a $150K
retirement savings deficiency.
