Eddie James, CKA®, Owner of Harvest Wealth Management, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast Discussing Mitigating Risks in Retirement

Eddie James, CKA® discusses the importance of mitigating risks in retirement.

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-eddie-james-cka-owner-of-harvest-wealth-management-mitigating-risks-in-retirement/

 Eddie James, CKA® emphasizes the significance of having an emergency plan and being proactive in financial planning. He discusses the scenario where unexpected expenses arise and how having an emergency plan in place can help mitigate the impact of these expenses. Eddie mentions that his proactive approach to financial planning allows him to handle unexpected expenses without major setbacks.

Furthermore, Eddie stresses the importance of being proactive rather than reactive in financial planning. He highlights the fact that many individuals who try to manage their finances often find themselves constantly reacting to financial challenges as they arise, like playing a game of “whack-a-mole.” Eddie suggests that being proactive is a more efficient and less stressful approach to financial planning.

Also, he introduces the concept of dividing funds into different buckets based on timeframes in financial planning. Eddie James, CKA® suggests categorizing funds into “now,” “soon,” and “future” buckets. The “now” bucket includes funds needed for the next 24 months, such as emergency funds or funds for major purchases shortly. The “soon” bucket covers expenses in the next 10 years, while the “future” bucket is for expenses beyond 10 years.

In addition, the episode discusses the need for financial advisors to ask deep questions and thoroughly analyze opportunities to provide personalized recommendations for their clients. Eddie James, CKA® highlights that it is not a good sign if an advisor immediately jumps to product recommendations without understanding the client’s needs and goals. Eddie uses the analogy of taking a child to buy a vehicle and the salesperson immediately suggesting a minivan without considering if it is the best fit for the child. He emphasizes the importance of advisors knowing enough about their clients before making any recommendations, as this demonstrates their knowledge and genuine concern for the client’s best interests. This personalized approach is contrasted with advisors who prioritize higher fees by keeping clients’ funds in the portfolio, without considering other options that may better mitigate risks such as longevity and healthcare. The episode underscores the need for financial advisors to go beyond generic product recommendations and instead take a holistic approach by understanding their client’s specific circumstances and goals.

Furthermore, the episode delves into the three major risks individuals face in retirement: longevity risk, inflation risk, and portfolio risk.

Eddie shared: “Shepherding you to an impactful standard of living and standard of giving.”

About Eddie James, CKA®

Eddie is all about helping others. Eddie believes that helping clients see money from God’s perspective changes every decision with money. Christian clients want a return on their money and have an impact on the world.
