Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-mike-milligan-founder-of-1-oak-financial-discussing-the-five-pillars-of-your-unique-plan/

Mike Milligan, the founder of 1 Oak Financial. He delved into the concept of the “five pillars of your unique plan,” which form the foundation of his book, The One-of-a-Kind Financial Plan. 

Mike shared his belief that everyone is unique and that financial planning should reflect that individuality rather than adhere to a one-size-fits-all approach. He emphasized the importance of being present in our lives and embracing our uniqueness, which is crucial when planning for retirement. 

He explored the five pillars in detail: 

1. Tax Planning: Mike highlighted that taxes are often the largest expense individuals face and that proactive tax planning can significantly impact one’s financial life. 
2. Retirement Income Planning: This pillar focuses on ensuring a steady income stream during retirement, allowing individuals to enjoy their lives without financial stress. 
3. Investment Planning: Mike pointed out that investment strategies should align with one’s retirement vision and not just be about chasing returns. 
4. Long-Term Care Planning: He stressed the importance of preparing for future health needs and understanding the costs associated with long-term care. 
5. Legacy Planning: This often-overlooked pillar is essential for ensuring that one’s wishes are honored and that loved ones are taken care of after one’s passing. 

Throughout the podcast conversation, Mike emphasized the need for a dynamic and flexible financial plan that can adapt to life’s changes. He also discussed the importance of strategic withdrawal sequencing and tax strategies to maximize retirement income while minimizing taxes. 

He wrapped up with a client success story that illustrated the transformative power of the one-of-a-kind financial plan, showcasing how it can provide clarity, peace of mind, and a sense of security for individuals approaching retirement. 

 Mike shared: “I believe everyone is One of a Kind; and You deserve a One of a Kind Financial Plan that is about You.”
