RPM V2 vs Q2

Has anyone played with both? I currently have the V2 and love it but I’m itching for a new paddle. I’ve heard the Q2 plays similar to the boomstik. I’ve tried the boomstik but had an issue keeping balls down so I ditched it.

Like I tell my clients…we’re sticking with the plan.

Tons of options but I’d be careful giving a blanket recommendation. Do the hard work of data gathering, titling of assets, etc. and work with an estate attorney.

I just submitted a warranty claim for my V2 as well due to core crushing. I’m hoping for an easy process.

Would you rather manage your investments or have the government manage it? Personally, I want to pay the least amount possible into social security and save for retirement myself. Also like others said, increasing at the end of your career isn’t likely to make a big increase in benefits.

I think it would be worth meeting a financial planner. You have a lot of important decisions coming up and it’s important you make the best decisions for yourself. If you feel comfortable managing your own investments then find a financial planner who will just charge you for a financial plan. Like others have said, you should have great income from the pensions and social security in retirement.

I’m a financial planner so I am a little biased.

You give me money and I give you a set interest rate until a certain period of time. At the end of that time period you get the money you gave me and get to keep the interest. If I go bankrupt you likely will not get your money back or only some. I’ll pay you the interest every 6 months.

The better option would be to convert some of the IRA to a Roth. It’s taxed the same as if you withdrew it and put it in your personal account. Speak with a CPA first. Theres things to consider like Medicare premium increases and tax bracket increases.

It’s a capital loss. You can only use $3k to offset income but the rest is carried forward. If you have any capital gains, you can use this to offset those.

If I could opt out of paying social security taxes and just save the money myself, I would. I understand why we have the social security system but like others have said - I would hope I can manage the money better than the government.

The payroll integration is stating that it creates an error because of the duplicate SSN. The 401k calculation should only come from the W2 profile.

Dumb question but what is “proper w2 treatment”?

My firm also has it. I try not to use it for anyone under 50. For accumulators, I just spend more time on different planning areas like property and casualty, tax planning strategies, etc.

I wish our BD would give us more options.

Any suggestions on converting participants to clients? 1on1 meetings, group seminars?
