Everyone hopes to retire someday, but few fully understand the jargon and complex concepts that financial professionals often use. Before joining the financial industry in 1988, Victor James McClure’s career took him down other paths, and as a result, he’s able to explain retirement planning in terms the average person can appreciate. After serving in the military’s nuclear chemistry field, the Texas native returned to his home state to work for his father’s brokerage firm, where he learned a lot of valuable lessons – including that the short-term trading of stocks, bonds, or commodities wasn’t for him. Now with over thirty years under his belt and as the president of The McClure Capital Companies, Victor uses his love for numbers and helping people to put the client’s needs first. In his first book, Common Sense Investing Guide to Retirement, Victor shares the insights and principles he uses to help people retire with financial confidence. Inside, you’ll find a rundown of the ideas and practices Victor has found to be beneficial, including: • Why proper planning is important as inflation and the average lifespan continue to rise • Tools to help ensure your finances are stable for the rest of your life and your beneficiaries’ • How to allocate assets for the distribution phase of your life, which can be completely different from the accumulation phase • And more! Retirement planning has its challenges, but with a little common sense and the right guidance, you don’t need to be a nuclear scientist to turn the numbers in your favor.
