Kenneth Magoch | Legacy Board Member / Retirement Evolutions’** Mt. Rushmore
Year Joined: 2006
Years of Professional Experience: “Well Seasoned”
What I love about Retirement Evolutions**: The ongoing growth in the ability to help people accomplish their goals.
Places I’ve Lived: Milwaukee, WI & Tucson, AZ
My Hobbies and Passions: Golf, house project, and family.
Responsibilities
Ken is chartered to make sure at least 95% of his time is available to visit golf courses in the greater Tucson area. If he does have to punch the clock it is to help with some bookkeeping or a special initiative.
My Professional Story
Ken proudly served with the Tucson Police Department for over 30 years as an officer, mentor, and eventual Sargeant. After retiring from the police department Ken stayed active in the leadership of the Fraternal Order of Police for several years but still found himself with time and energy for something else. Jon sensed this and enticed Ken to log some hours in helping Jon’s enterprise that was now busier than he could handle by himself. Those “some hours” grew to many hours as Ken flexed his “do it all” muscles and helped his son push through those fragile, formative years of the organization. Ken’s hours were steadily reduced as new members joined and in 2015 Ken was ushered out of the office and only to be invited back when honoring the duties of his new title; “Legacy Board Member.”
My Personal Story
Ken grew up in Wisconsin and followed a career opportunity in law enforcement to Tucson in the 1960’s. He spent the next 3 plus decades serving long hours with the Tucson Police Department and raising his family. After his “first retirement” spent with Retirement Evolutions he now focuses on enjoying non-working flavors of retirement like: travel, golf and spending time with friends and family.

Consider an Annuity Even When the Market’s Humming
Perhaps you are familiar with an annuity. The basic premise is that you convert a lump sum of money into a stream of income. Unlike an investment, once you commit a fixed amount of money to the insurance company, that company is contractually obligated to provide you a minimum level of income with the option to continue receiving it as long as you live. All guarantees are backed by the financial strength of the issuing insurance company.

Tech Trends
There are different formulas for launching highly successful companies. First, create a product that solves a problem that no one knew they had — for instance, how online search engines replaced encyclopedias. Then, there are ideas that help solve problems that plague millions of people.
Back pain, for example. Not only do approximately eight in 10 adults experience low-back pain at some point in their lifetime, but it’s also the most common cause of job-related disability.
One individual who suffered severe back pain while sitting at work all day decided to invent a new kind of desk. This desk would allow him to stand while he worked, alleviating his back pain. This man was a co-founder of VARIDESK, a new type of office furniture manufacturer. But this new company didn’t just enter the office supply industry; it introduced a new sales model that was key to its rampant success: Selling online direct to consumers.

Retirement Planning Challenges
In 1985, only 10 percent of people aged 65 and older were either in the workforce or job hunting. Today, that share has doubled, for a couple of reasons. First, fewer 65-year-olds have enough money to retire. Second, the number of people in this demographic with a college degree has more than doubled (53 percent today vs. 25 percent in 1985).

Boosting Financial Literacy is a Top Priority
Financial literacy has always been a challenge. However, now that much of the burden of retirement income has shifted to employees instead of employers, it is all the more important that we begin teaching the principles of saving and investing to people as early as possible.

Stock Buybacks Explained
When the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, the hope was companies would spend their influx of money on expansion and increased jobs and wages. Instead, public companies’ most popular way to spend the excess capital has been to buy back their own stock.
