Show 7 - How to Manage Liquidity Events

Wealth Strategy with Bryan Rigg

We see quite often in life a lot of people do not manage liquidity events very well. The most dramatic example are lottery winners. When they get a lot of money, what happens in a few years? It's all gone. Granted we don't encourage you to be banking on winning the lottery, but we see that when people do get a liquidity event like that they've put no thought into how to manage that cash.

Whether it's on this massive scale of a lottery or whether it is being in control of your 401K, selling a house, having an inheritance, a lot of times when people get that money they do a very poor job of managing it.

Another example out there that we've heard quite often about when people get a liquidity event and manage it poorly, and here they know they're getting a liquidity event, are professional athletes.

We hear so often that 70, 80, 90 percent of NFL players and NBA players, once they leave the league they're bankrupt in a few years because they haven't properly focused on how to deal with those liquidity events, putting that money away, making sure ?? like I always like to say during these programs, ?? they get their sacred cow, making sure they get the pot of money they need, putting it away and securing it to support their lifestyle going forward.

By way of illustration, a lot of times people say, "Hey, I want to replace my salary of $60,000." A good number right now with interest rates is, if you have $1.5 to $2 million put away, you can be fairly assured that you're going to be able to replace that $60,000 salary per year if you put that money away. You have then secured your sacred cow.

That's one thing to be looking at when you start having these liquidity events, how it plays into you planning for your future and you securing the bucket of money that you need to maintain your lifestyle. If you manage liquidity events well, that is one huge tactic to be focused on in order to help ensure that you have the retirement you need.
