Terry Savage: The Savage Truth about Rates & Markets

IN THIS EPISODE, THE ANNUITY MAN AND TERRY SAVAGE DISCUSS:
- Preparing for recession
- The wildcard in economy
- The two most interest things in the market
- Living off of the interest
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- People are not prepared for the kind of recession we might be facing. The Feds will not let the government buy us out of this recession, even though it's a political year because of the mounting national debt.
- The wildcard in all of this is in employment. We haven’t seen unemployment go up yet, but there is a greater amount of people either quitting or soft-quitting, which is when people don’t quit but aren’t working that hard.
- The two most interesting things about the market are Bitcoin and gold. Blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies, is going to revolutionize our lives, but it’s not going to be a refuge from the U.S. dollar.
- The goal is for you to never have to touch the principal and just live off of the interest. That’s the dream. Establish your income floor and see if you can buy products that will create interest.
"The problem is it's not just financial inflation. It's emotional. It's in the DNA; it’s in the cells. And you don't have to be a Ph.D. economist; you can be an ordinary person to understand the impact. That inflation mentality is what has to get broken." — Terry Savage

1:13

1:15
together because
1:17
you know it's just truth and facts and
1:19
there's been a little bit happening
1:20
recently Miss Savage
1:24
um what's your take let's let's Jump
1:25
Right In because um you know we're
1:27
taping this a few days a day after the
1:29
FED uh just met in September and it's
1:33
going to be airing in a couple days
1:34
after that very very timely what was
1:37
your take on that I'm just going to step
1:39
back the floor is yours Miss Savage
1:42
well you know what there's an advantage
1:45
to having been around for a while
1:47
because this is sort of like where I
1:49
came in in the early 1980s and um I I
1:53
you know you know my background maybe
1:55
others don't I was a founding member of
1:58
the first woman Trader on the Chicago
1:59
Board options exchange I traded
2:02
currencies on the international monetary
2:04
Market at the Mercantile Exchange and I
2:06
was unique in those days and being a
2:08
girl doing that and so the local NBC
2:11
station had me on on a regular basis and
2:14
I came to them one day now this is going
2:17
to take you way way back okay before we
2:19
get today and I said I realized I was
2:22
trading in the treasury bill pit
2:24
and at that time you could only get five
2:28
percent on a CD except if you had ten
2:31
thousand dollars you could get a six
2:34
month CD that was based on the first six
2:37
month treasury bill right okay and that
2:39
rate was of course set at auction at
2:41
noon on Mondays or 12 30 in fact on
2:44
Mondays but the rate wasn't released
2:46
till about seven o'clock at night
2:47
because they didn't have the computers
2:49
in those days
2:50
but I was down in the pit and I knew
2:53
what the treasury bill was trading at
2:55
and I went wait a second I asked the
2:58
noon producers could I be the last thing
3:00
on the show I'd run over to the TV
3:02
station I called on to my friend on the
3:04
floor and say what's a six-month t-bill
3:06
trading at oh about eight and a quarter
3:08
I'd say wow last week the auction was
3:11
7.97 the rate's going to be a quarter
3:14
percent higher to get on TV and say if
3:16
you've got a CD renewing maturing today
3:18
don't renew until tomorrow the rate will
3:20
be a quarter percent higher in that
3:22
insider trading Terry come on
3:26
used to be called past posting you knew
3:28
the results before but the fact was the
3:31
Futures were telling you it was real I
3:33
knew that sure I mean I became famous
3:35
Infamous and one day uh we got I got a
3:38
call this is fire engine company 97 we
3:41
were out on a run what did you say
3:42
interest rates were going to do so
3:44
people thought I had magic crystal ball
3:47
and I was responsible personally for
3:50
getting a lot of people a lot higher
3:52
yields in those days you could go only
3:55
to the Federal Reserve Bank to buy
3:56
treasury bills right and you had to have
3:58
a certified or cashier's check a piece
4:00
of paper
4:01
and those don't have state income taxes
4:05
attached to the interest either and the
4:06
rates were much higher than the banks
4:08
were paying so I talked about that on TV
4:11
and the FED literally the Federal
4:13
Reserve Bank of Chicago called me up and
4:15
said and I went down there afterward
4:17
they were putting out you know blue blue
4:19
extensions there to guide the crowds
4:22
around the corner because people were
4:24
lined up to buy t-bills the reason I
4:27
tell you that story is because that
4:28
happened to me this week again and the
4:31
world is full circle yeah it has and all
4:36
of a sudden I was on Morning News at
4:37
Chicago I am on WGN news and I and they
4:40
gave me a question
4:42
what can I get for the highest CD rate
4:45
and I quick look down at you know bank
4:47
rate I'm like sure and I said but wait a
4:49
minute
4:50
the six-month treasury bill is trading
4:54
at 3.9 percent that's twice what any
4:57
local bank is offering in a CD right
5:00
here's how you do that remember all of
5:03
you who bought I bonds at my direction
5:04
to get 9.62 we could talk about that
5:07
later you already have a treasury direct
5:09
account now right tab that says buy and
5:13
then put down 26 week t-builts and
5:16
they'll take the money right out of your
5:17
bank and the rate will be likely close
5:20
to four percent that was just before the
5:22
FED spoke that was um because yesterday
5:24
it was been a lifetime since the FED
5:25
spoke
5:27
so what what's happening now
5:29
is a little bit of Back to the Future
5:33
um first of all ordinary people who have
5:34
what I call Chicken money money set
5:36
aside they couldn't sleep at night
5:38
didn't want to risk the stock market
5:39
right as I said this on on radio this
5:42
week they've been getting screwed by the
5:44
Banks sure no banks are saying send
5:46
money we'll give you a toaster right
5:49
they have plenty of money so they
5:50
haven't been paying the high rates so
5:52
we're at a moment where the FED is
5:54
pushing rates up that's just like it was
5:56
in the early 1980s when I first got into
5:58
this game and then consumers are
6:01
figuring out a way now just to get in
6:03
there and buy treasury bills at the
6:04
Monday auction
6:06
and then of course the FED announced
6:07
that it was getting tough so I also
6:10
think something else is about to happen
6:12
that happened before
6:15
I don't think
6:17
people are prepared for the kind of
6:20
recession we might be facing really go
6:23
deeper on that one because I I saw
6:26
um one of the one of the big investors
6:28
forgot his name and he said similar
6:30
things Jamie dimon from Goldman Sachs
6:32
kind of said that as well I mean you
6:35
know as I always say when Terry Savage
6:37
walks in a room most times she is the
6:40
smartest person in that room
6:42
um but yeah
6:44
there's no Crystal Ball but watch this
6:47
the last two recessions the FED has
6:50
bought its way out of where the
6:52
government has bought its way out of it
6:54
when the FED is accommodated so in
6:56
200720 not that those weren't severe
6:58
potential crises that could have really
7:00
wrecked America but in 27 2008 only they
7:05
printed a ton of money and they bailed
7:07
out everything from the automakers to
7:09
you know everything that was a corporate
7:11
ballot and the financial institutions
7:13
you know they were all merged together
7:15
sure the stronger ones bought the weaker
7:18
ones and some live to regret it but the
7:20
fact is the government actively
7:22
saved us from the pain of a severe
7:24
recession and nobody complained at the
7:27
time even I wrote a column at the time
7:29
saying this is in principle this is
7:31
wrong but they're saving us and the same
7:33
thing happened at the start of the
7:35
pandemic I mean I was prepared for a
7:37
market decline of 30 we actually sort of
7:39
had that in one day but then the
7:41
government said no don't worry about it
7:43
it was like Oprah a car for you a car
7:45
for you a stimulus check for you a
7:47
stimulus check for you a PPP loaner you
7:51
know the airlines we can't afford to
7:52
have you laying off people
7:55
and they bought us out of those last two
7:58
recessions so the tune of now we have a
8:00
32 trillion dollar national debt up 8
8:03
trillion in the last eight years both
8:04
political parties
8:06
you know absolutely but
8:11
the fed's not gonna let them buy us out
8:14
of this recession even though it's a
8:16
political year
8:18
and even though for example the
8:20
government will try things like student
8:21
loan forgiveness to buy votes etc etc
8:25
the fed's not going to let them buy
8:26
their way out in fact the FED is
8:28
actually not only causing the recession
8:31
but not only raising rates but sucking
8:33
liquidity out of the economy sellers
8:36
absolutely yes so I don't think anybody
8:40
is quite prepared
8:42
for how painful this recession might be
8:45
and I think the FED might even be
8:47
surprised because just like they let
8:49
inflation get out of hand you know
8:51
transitory not
8:53
I won't hold you to this but when you
8:55
say painful I'm sure that the listeners
8:57
and viewers are like kind of Define that
8:59
they won't hold you to it I won't hold
9:00
you to it but what do you what do you
9:02
say I mean obviously food prices are up
9:04
gas prices are
9:05
well that used to be what do you I mean
9:08
what do you what are you envisioning
9:10
well I I try you know I try not to
9:13
Envision health I like to be on the side
9:15
of the angels I understand
9:18
um here's what here's the thing
9:21
um we could have the worst of all worlds
9:22
which is a inflation is pretty well
9:25
built into our economy now
9:27
um yeah maybe gasoline prices of course
9:29
are coming down Energy prices and maybe
9:31
the potent's war will be over and
9:32
that'll help but we have a lot of
9:35
inflation built into wage demands into
9:37
rental agreements and and uh into the
9:40
pro I mean when Ford Motor Company says
9:42
our profits are going to be squeezed not
9:45
because we can't get stuff anymore we
9:46
can get stuff but the costs are so high
9:49
that we can't raise prices enough well
9:52
they're going to raise prices but
9:53
they're in the meantime profits will be
9:55
squeeze that's not good for stocks and
9:57
so forth FedEx saying the same kind of
9:58
thing so we could have inflation
10:01
and yet the pain of high interest rates
10:04
that impacts the mortgage Market
10:06
um that impacts other parts of the
10:09
economy and the wild card in all of this
10:13
that wasn't like this in 1980s is for
10:17
every there's one person around for
10:20
every two unemployed still unemployed
10:22
for every two job vacancies so we
10:26
haven't seen it in the labor market yet
10:28
we haven't seen unemployment go up
10:31
but and and people have gotten used to
10:34
what's that term um soft quitting or
10:37
yeah that's that's interesting and
10:39
people don't know what that is is people
10:41
going to work and really not working
10:42
that hard I mean in English that's what
10:44
it is they've just kind of internally
10:46
and mentally quit and just waiting to
10:49
get I guess get caught doing
10:51
very Basics okay nobody's trying to
10:54
impress a boss nobody wants to come back
10:56
to the office wait we can do this from
10:58
home we got used to it and the bosses
11:01
who are the generation that grew up
11:02
being bosses the Jamie diamonds at all
11:04
of the world are saying and the Goldman
11:06
Sachs get in here and then you start to
11:09
get some warnings like from Goldman
11:10
Sachs and from many others saying we're
11:12
going to have layoffs we're gonna have
11:13
layoffs right and I don't think the
11:16
general population I'm not talking about
11:18
seniors or those who are forced out
11:21
right because of the pandemic and
11:23
haven't come back but I think the
11:24
Millennials Gen X generation
11:26
they haven't lived through a vast
11:29
unemployment
11:32
haven't involved
11:34
oh my goodness how do I pay the bills
11:37
because the government handed them a
11:38
check the last time it was supposed to
11:39
happen right
11:40
and that's what I mean by painful and I
11:43
I hope it doesn't get that far but you
11:45
had the fat you had Jay Powell saying it
11:48
could be painful it revolves around
11:50
labor and we're not stopping I mean if
11:53
you said it once I wrote down a whole
11:55
list of all the things I was in a little
11:56
press conference if you said it once he
11:58
said it five six seven times we will not
12:00
stop until we break the back of
12:02
inflation even if it's what popped out I
12:05
mean you listen to that we all listen to
12:06
that but you listen differently than
12:08
most what popped out to you that was a
12:12
surprise that that Mr Pyle said
12:14
nothing surprised me he said the same
12:17
things he said before and the market is
12:19
finally beginning to believe it when he
12:21
said it after Jackson Hole and it was
12:24
short and sweet and everybody all summer
12:26
there had been a rally hey we'll look
12:28
past this bed the fed's going to Pivot
12:31
Al and then in Jackson Hole at the end
12:33
of August he said no I meant it we're
12:36
going to be tough and it will be painful
12:37
and that's when the market took its
12:39
first big decline the second big decline
12:42
came just about a week or 10 days ago
12:44
when consumer prices came out and they
12:47
ticked up it was just a one tenth of a
12:49
percent when they were supposed to be
12:50
sliding one tenth of a percent I mean
12:53
we're not talking about a massive
12:54
surprise but the upside not the downside
12:57
Market fell almost 1300 points in one
13:00
day so that's when the market knew Not
13:03
only was Powell meaning what he said but
13:05
inflation was stronger than a lot of
13:08
people had hoped it would be you know
13:10
and that this involved more paint and
13:13
then we had the feds saying yeah 75
13:15
basis points no big surprise 4.2 by the
13:18
end of the year we were at zero about it
13:21
a year ago we're now at three to three
13:25
and a quarter I got another at least 75
13:28
basis points to go this year this
13:31
election year in the middle of this fall
13:32
right I know that's surprising to me by
13:35
the way very surprising I'm happy for
13:37
I'm happy for it but I'm just surprised
13:40
well then they're saying 4.6 next year
13:43
well okay you know Savers are jump up
13:46
and down at least I'm gonna you know see
13:48
bills will be up there over four percent
13:50
in a minute but uh the economy's going
13:52
the business are going but where are we
13:56
going to deploy our capital in the face
13:57
of that kind of the housing market the
14:00
car market I mean this is getting ready
14:02
to unwind was there anything that you
14:04
wish you would have said
14:06
that I wish you would have said no I
14:09
think I mean were you pretty on board
14:10
with the whole thing it's there's
14:12
anything I remember inflation
14:16
and then I'm a student of world history
14:18
I mean inflation out of control I forget
14:20
Germany how about Zimbabwe somewhere in
14:22
a draw of a trillion dollar note from
14:24
Zimbabwe we all have that yeah I love
14:27
that yeah yeah and um I I'll give you
14:29
the best story
14:31
this is okay this is an interesting
14:34
story
14:35
a couple of weeks ago I was going
14:37
through the closet of all my winter
14:38
coats so I've been around a long time so
14:40
I have a lot of coats and thinking I
14:42
should do something with these these and
14:44
um especially since I spend so much time
14:46
in Florida as you know that's right
14:47
that's right
14:49
so I reached in the pocket to see it was
14:52
in and there's always Kleenex in my
14:53
pockets that sometimes I find a pair of
14:55
gloves and I pulled out a piece of paper
14:57
and it was a receipt from 20 I mean I
15:00
keep my clothes it was received from
15:03
2003. a little receipt from a carryout
15:06
from Boston Market and everybody
15:08
remember Boston Market
15:11
yeah it was for
15:13
a half of a chicken and two sides
15:17
remember we used to get the um I love
15:18
that and I love it a lot of stuff and I
15:22
was always a bad girl a slice of
15:24
chocolate cake sure and the receipt was
15:27
for
15:27
8.47 the whole thing the whole thing I
15:32
have it that is around here I the whole
15:34
thing half a chicken oh these little
15:37
thing and they lay it in there and they
15:38
I think they give you cornbread too yeah
15:40
sweet cornbread yeah it was good it was
15:42
really good yeah and and a separate
15:45
piece of chocolate cake which I at for
15:47
8.47
15:49
I mean you could barely get you know you
15:52
can get a Starbucks you grab a venti
15:55
Starbucks for that today so that's
15:57
inflation
15:58
and it slaps you in the face when it's
16:01
like that but you know
16:02
I think if you're listening to Stan's
16:04
podcast
16:06
you might feel yourself pretty insulated
16:08
from inflation but if you're one of the
16:11
people who's living on a fixed income
16:13
yeah okay it's great because it's got a
16:15
cost of living index and that it might
16:18
be significant this year up around eight
16:20
plus percent right but other than that
16:22
if you're living on a fixed income or
16:24
you're low income you're even I know you
16:28
see the headlines about you know
16:29
Starbucks workers striking McDonald's
16:31
working striking and genuinely they're
16:34
low paid workers sure whatever case they
16:37
get is it going to make up for the fact
16:39
that that pushes prices up and they'll
16:40
always be laying behind this is why they
16:43
did so much better
16:44
when there was no inflation even though
16:46
their wages were lower and Powell knows
16:50
that so I believe he's going to Stamp
16:52
Out inflation and that's the end of my
16:54
Soliloquy and it's going to be tough
16:56
we're going to obviously we're going to
16:57
have a page that you can go to Terry's
17:00
site you can look at her she's written a
17:02
couple really good articles she's always
17:04
writing good articles but we're going to
17:06
have that on there how to get to
17:07
treasury direct.gov to buy your I bonds
17:10
and all that stuff
17:11
but um
17:13
um you know we'll have that you can go
17:15
there I think you might have Frozen on
17:17
the screen there Terry I froze let's see
17:20
here I am I'm back there you go you're
17:21
back so the people on the podcast they
17:23
were just listening to me that's good
17:25
um let's let's talk about
17:27
um markets in general I know the people
17:29
were interested in the fed and and you I
17:31
believe you're correct they're going to
17:33
continue and he is Mr Powell is actually
17:36
doing what I hoped but didn't believe he
17:38
would do which would be autonomous and
17:40
independent which is what that was
17:42
designed and not influenced politically
17:45
you know good for him and I'll be the
17:48
first one to say I didn't believe it I I
17:51
wasn't thinking he could do it but he's
17:53
doing it
17:54
and maybe it's because this is the last
17:57
term maybe it's because that's what he's
17:59
supposed to do either way
18:01
you know he's got to do that but let's
18:03
talk about the stock market but before
18:06
you do that there are a couple of people
18:08
out there including my son who is a
18:10
markets guy who had dinner last night
18:12
said this so I want to just uh tip my
18:15
hat to the people who are saying
18:18
wait a minute he's gone too far he
18:22
should pause we all know monetary policy
18:25
works with a lag is this going to be a
18:27
horrendous recession he's going to throw
18:29
it into it
18:30
he should wait and see how it works
18:33
right so I've got a little dinner table
18:35
discussion uh with some business people
18:37
last night and I said you know that's
18:40
because you don't remember oh 1982
18:44
worked and he said the world is
18:45
different than 1982 monetary policy
18:47
Works faster because we can all see it
18:49
faster it's instantaneous you know then
18:51
you have to wait three months for the
18:52
minutes of the FED to come out so too
18:55
deference to those who say
18:58
how else should take his foot off the
19:01
brakes for a while and let's see if this
19:03
is working after all interrupt mortgages
19:05
are slowing but the problem is it's not
19:08
and I continue to argue on the side that
19:11
you point you just made
19:13
the problem is it's not just Financial
19:16
inflation isn't it's it's emotional it's
19:20
in the DNA it's in the cells and you
19:23
don't have to be a PhD Economist you
19:25
could be an ordinary person to
19:27
understand the impact do you understand
19:29
first hardest and fastest when it hits
19:31
you because you only have limited income
19:33
coming in
19:35
that inflation mentality is what has to
19:37
get broken and it might in fact let me
19:41
check that I think it will take Overkill
19:43
to make that happen so you should be
19:45
prepared
19:47
now if you're going to go back to the
19:48
markets be prepared for Overkill because
19:51
that was the volcker lesson he let up on
19:53
the breaks too soon
19:55
and then he had to do a double dip you
19:56
know I got mortgage rates right yeah I I
20:00
do I do think that um I always tell
20:02
people that I have cowboy boots older
20:04
than most financial advisors I mean
20:07
literally and we're gonna we're gonna
20:09
throw your Couture coats in there you
20:11
got Couture coats that are older than
20:13
most people giving Financial advice
20:15
meaning that we both have scars from the
20:18
past of those really tough events and a
20:22
lot of these kids just have never seen
20:25
it they've been in a bull market since
20:26
they've been alive no it's not their
20:28
fault it's just what they know they only
20:31
know what they know so going dovetailing
20:33
into that
20:34
let's talk about the markets here the
20:37
stock market and the fact I'd like for
20:39
you to comment obviously on how Bitcoin
20:41
is not acting independently or excuse me
20:45
crypto in general that's been
20:47
interesting to watch as well dive in
20:49
Terry
20:51
I think the two most interesting things
20:54
about the markets that the first is
20:58
Bitcoin and the second is gold I'll do
21:01
Bitcoin first
21:02
I know that the blockchain is going to
21:05
revolutionize sure our lives and the
21:09
technology behind it you're correct and
21:11
I've you and I we've talked about this
21:13
before sure but the idea that it would
21:16
be a refuge from the U.S dollar please
21:19
the entire world
21:21
is buying US Dollars and that's why uh
21:25
Canada raised rates Great Britain raised
21:27
rates uh the Euro Japan
21:30
is Japan Japan holy man for the first
21:35
seconds before the Millennium
21:37
um you know why because the dollar is so
21:40
strong our rates are high and on top of
21:42
all our horrendous problems were
21:44
perceived as the safest place in the
21:46
world given what's going on in Europe
21:47
and natural gas and it still is correct
21:50
coming here pushes the dollar up so if
21:53
you are in France or Germany and you
21:56
want to buy something from the U.S you
21:57
have to scrape together a lot more Euros
21:59
to buy one dollars worth of goods
22:01
whereas by the way if you're an American
22:03
Tourist not now but a month ago you
22:06
could go over there my son did and and
22:08
we have a wonderful vacation because the
22:11
dollar was almost at parity and they
22:13
hadn't yet raised their hotel rooms and
22:15
the rental car rates and so forth nice
22:17
so we have a strong dollar and it's the
22:20
idea that Bitcoin was is going to
22:22
replace the dollar that'll only happen I
22:25
mean it might happen in the uses of
22:27
Commerce because it's a natural sure
22:30
solution the idea of a currency that's
22:33
digital
22:35
but it's it's not but the but worse than
22:38
that though is
22:41
gold it hasn't it's like sixteen hundred
22:43
and fifty dollars an ounce I know
22:45
inflation that's causing the FED to be
22:47
scared to death
22:48
and gold has done nothing the gold bugs
22:51
is what we call them right the gold bugs
22:53
that's been out there I mean they have
22:55
literally they've got to be scratching
22:58
the hair out of their head at this point
23:00
because it doesn't make sense it doesn't
23:02
make sense to me either and I'm not
23:04
sitting here saying but wait it'll
23:05
happen I I who knows right I'd rather
23:09
own treasuries but it doesn't mean that
23:11
I don't still have gold left the last
23:13
time I bought gold was in 2008 when gold
23:17
plunged under a thousand to about eight
23:19
something and that was the last time I
23:21
bought gold but the fact is I never sold
23:23
it either and it was up to 2000 just a
23:26
not even nine or ten months ago now when
23:28
Jamie dimon came out yesterday and said
23:30
that Bitcoin is an organized Ponzi
23:32
scheme is that extreme
23:34
see you see now his first of all he's
23:37
he's been saying that all along
23:41
the use of Bitcoin and ethereum and not
23:45
only that about 100. it was right has
23:49
been
23:50
it's been
23:52
first of all the SEC hasn't stepped in
23:54
to regulate it and they will and they
23:56
will they will but up till now did you
23:59
read those scams of those I didn't even
24:00
know about it or I would have written a
24:02
column and waved the flag and said don't
24:03
do that you could lend money and get a
24:05
19 return through these crypto exchanges
24:08
I didn't hear about it until they blew
24:10
up and then my reaction was of course
24:12
they blew up I mean that's just
24:14
if it sounds too good to be true it is
24:16
every single time I don't care what
24:17
product it is period please don't forget
24:20
that always always
24:23
you're not going to beat your neighbor
24:25
you're not going to be the person you're
24:27
not going to be that person okay but
24:29
sometimes someone offers it to you it's
24:32
a great deal
24:34
alternative Investments
24:36
do you if they're offering it to you
24:39
don't you think they're making something
24:40
off you I mean since when did anyone get
24:43
so generous to offer you a double-digit
24:44
return on I can't miss alternative oh my
24:47
gosh run the other way I always tell
24:49
people that if someone knows really
24:52
truly how to
24:54
make money double digit returns you're
24:57
never going to meet them okay you're
24:59
never going to meet them no one knows
25:00
who they are they're running under the
25:02
radar screen and they're making tons of
25:04
money why you're not there's no
25:05
philanthropist out there okay giving
25:07
away ideas but yes um that bothers me
25:11
that people are
25:13
desperate and feel desperate enough that
25:15
they think that crypto is their way out
25:18
but let's let's put crypto aside here
25:19
let's talk about the markets in general
25:21
okay
25:22
um
25:23
what is your sentiment here do you still
25:26
think we have ways to go down or is it
25:28
just going to be choppy from here on in
25:30
well I'll go out on a limb I I think we
25:33
have a long ways to go down
25:35
okay
25:36
um
25:37
[Music]
25:38
I just
25:40
and I I think you know the February
25:42
they're talking about higher and longer
25:44
I think it's for the market it's lower
25:46
and longer the other thing is we've all
25:48
seen markets bounce back nobody I'm not
25:51
saying this will happen again but in the
25:53
decade of the 70s the Dow was over a
25:56
thousand and for the first time I kind
25:57
of remember that happening in uh you
26:00
said a thousand right it was over one
26:02
thousand that's what I'm saying people
26:04
young people listen to this are like
26:05
what she just said it's the olden days
26:07
right okay and and then it went to a low
26:10
in 1972 of 5
26:13
70.01
26:15
I was trading and um I know I'm old you
26:19
just can't see my grade here so I had
26:21
that fixed I'm still glamorous Terry
26:23
Savage I'm telling you right now so uh
26:26
and but by 1982 do you remember when
26:30
Nixon slammed the gold window and on
26:32
August 13th the Dow was still around
26:34
800. a decade
26:37
of no progress I don't think that's
26:40
gonna happen again we live in a
26:41
different world everything yeah we did
26:42
yeah we we really do but what I'm saying
26:44
is the the it's always going to bounce
26:47
it's always going to bounce mentality
26:49
it's so ingrained I'm not praying for
26:51
lower prices but I think if the if the
26:54
economy does take this kind of a
26:57
recessionary tailspin for a while then
26:59
that you can't forecast earnings are
27:01
going up for and that's what supports
27:04
the market that are multiples and then a
27:06
in a bear Market both multiples and
27:08
earnings contract but I never can pick
27:11
the bottom you know the bill doesn't
27:14
ring at the top or the bottom me and you
27:15
both know that never does 30 years ago I
27:19
wrote my first book Terry Savage talks
27:21
money and I I wrote a chapter that I've
27:23
included in an every I've written four
27:25
other books since it said
27:27
um here was the example
27:30
if you charge
27:31
so not even back then if you charge two
27:34
thousand dollars on your credit card
27:36
and you pay the minimum monthly payment
27:39
your finest 19.8 because 30 years ago it
27:43
was
27:44
okay and you pay 40 a year for the
27:46
annual fee how long I would go to the
27:48
audience as I went running around doing
27:50
speeches how long do you think it'll
27:51
take you to pay it off
27:54
and oh you know seven years 14 years it
27:57
will take you
27:59
31 years in two months the way the
28:01
minimums are calculated and along the
28:03
way on top of the two thousand dollars
28:04
you spent you'll paid another eighty two
28:07
hundred dollars in finance charges that
28:09
was people would guess and I'd say you
28:12
know I don't care what you bought that
28:13
you charge for two thousand dollars it
28:15
was Furniture it'll be at the Salvation
28:17
Army you know but if if it was a
28:20
restaurant meal it was down the drain
28:21
long ago
28:23
quote and I use this and if you bought
28:25
clothes even if they come back in style
28:28
in 31 years and you kept them you won't
28:29
be able to fit into them and I could see
28:31
down in the basement of this house and
28:33
you can see a wardrobe artist that yeah
28:36
I can fit into
28:37
but if you took the same two thousand
28:39
dollars every year or the first year
28:42
that you spent this year and put it into
28:44
an IRA of the S P 500 the average
28:48
historical return of 10 instead of
28:51
having all those old clothes and
28:52
interest payments ten thousand dollars
28:54
down the trade you'd have 46 000 or
28:57
whatever it was and if you did it every
28:59
year for the next 30 Years you'd have a
29:02
half a million dollars and if you did it
29:04
for 50 years because you're 20 now you'd
29:06
have 2.1 million dollars
29:09
so where recently someone asked me this
29:11
question what advice would I give to a
29:13
young person I went back and I went geez
29:14
31 years ago I did that
29:17
yeah and you know it works and it worked
29:20
out to be like under 40 a week to do it
29:23
so I don't call turns in the market the
29:26
the long lessons are not just the
29:28
memories of the bear Market but the fact
29:30
that if you consistently invest and
29:33
don't get scared out when the markets
29:35
are down and and don't get too
29:37
extravagant when the markets are up but
29:39
you just keep putting it in over the
29:41
long run it's always worked through
29:43
through all kinds of tough times are you
29:46
talking to the Boomers as well the
29:48
retirees I mean because this is skittish
29:50
times for them let's talk Boomers for a
29:53
second okay well you know I created you
29:55
know I always talk about the Bulls and
29:57
the Bears that's what you asked me to
29:58
talk about but I always added a third
30:00
category and I'm famous for this in my
30:02
circle said the Bulls the Bears and the
30:04
chickens yes
30:06
chickens chicken money is money you
30:08
cannot afford to lose
30:10
and you know sometimes it is not a
30:12
function of age necessarily it's your
30:14
circumstances in life but particularly
30:17
when you're a boomer and it was really
30:19
tough for the last years I've been
30:20
talking chicken money chicken money and
30:22
they would all come back but it's paying
30:24
a half of one percent in the bank and
30:25
the stock market's going up without me
30:27
yeah but you sleep at night and now
30:29
you're getting your reward but you need
30:31
some stocks even in retirement because
30:34
over the long run every 20-year period
30:36
stocks have beat inflation but when
30:39
you're 65 or 73 20 years is a long long
30:42
run so unless you're planning to leave
30:45
it to your kids you need a greater
30:47
proportion of chicken money or stand as
30:51
the kinds of things okay I'm turning the
30:53
question around
30:54
okay so I always said chicken money
30:57
short term safe no possibility of loss
31:00
but there are some products that you
31:02
have yeah that what do you tell Baby
31:04
Boomers here's what I tell people and I
31:06
did a recent video called a lot of
31:08
people it went viral you've won the game
31:10
why are you still playing there's a lot
31:12
of people out there that's that I say
31:14
their rates are at a point now where if
31:17
you can you can live off the interest
31:18
and never touch the principal if you can
31:20
do that in combination with Social
31:22
Security my question to you is why don't
31:23
you
31:25
and it's hard for people to miss out
31:27
it's hard for people not to be involved
31:29
they've been ingrained in their head
31:30
that they have to be in the markets they
31:32
listen to people like you it makes total
31:34
sense but what I'm saying to them for
31:36
their income floor in combination with
31:38
t-bills CDs multi-year guarantee
31:40
annuities which are the highest yielding
31:42
fixed products on the planet
31:43
if you can if you can never touch the
31:46
principle and live off the interest why
31:48
wouldn't you do that you've won the game
31:50
why are you still playing so that's my
31:53
take on it I also am telling people that
31:57
when you retire you might want to retire
32:00
not only from your work but also from
32:02
your daily interactions with the markets
32:04
I'm not saying that don't have things in
32:06
the markets but in proportion
32:09
um if you have it allocated properly
32:12
you're not going to follow it and care
32:14
as much and live and die with each blip
32:16
and and Jim Cramer talking point the
32:19
point is I think people need to learn
32:21
how to retire from their jobs which
32:23
seems to be easy for a lot of people but
32:24
also tracking markets because most
32:27
people don't know
32:29
um and they're not you and they don't
32:31
they're not passionate about it so
32:33
that's kind of what I'm saying right now
32:35
and I feel very passionate about those
32:37
messages
32:38
I have two questions for you as a result
32:40
of that first of all you mentioned
32:42
multi-year guaranteed annuities see the
32:45
annuities that's what they're to see it
32:47
inside of it right so
32:49
um what are the yields now and are they
32:51
gonna raise those as fast as the FED is
32:53
Right pushing treasure see treasurable
32:55
rates are the answer the answer is no to
32:57
are they going to raise it let me let me
32:59
answer a couple things at the time of
33:00
this tape and please everyone look at
33:02
the date because this is Evergreen
33:04
content but at this point in time you
33:07
know three year you can get way over
33:08
four percent five years four point five
33:11
seven years pushing the five percent
33:13
range guaranteed
33:15
um but annuity companies glance at the
33:18
FED
33:19
um it's all for them they're all life
33:21
insurance companies that issue these
33:22
products Terry they have and right now
33:25
on a two-year treasury note you can get
33:28
four percent or the day after correct
33:30
absolutely and I'm all for I'm all for
33:32
that because again I go back to winning
33:35
the game in combination you're choosing
33:37
things that protect your principle but
33:39
annuity life insurance companies have
33:40
life insurance products lifetime income
33:42
products and Legacy Bond portfolios and
33:45
then they look at the FED but the
33:46
biggest thing that drives it is capacity
33:48
meaning that there's so much money
33:50
coming into the insurance companies now
33:52
they're they don't have to raise rates
33:54
they don't have to follow in a linear
33:56
fashion with the Fed so when people say
33:58
well I'm waiting on the Fest and I'm
33:59
waiting on the fed well first of all if
34:01
you're buying lifetime income products
34:02
it's about life expectancy not interest
34:04
rates so you're looking at the wrong
34:07
thing and if you're buying mygas and
34:09
you're waiting for the fed the last time
34:11
Mr Powell raised we had three companies
34:13
that same week lower their guarantees
34:16
why because the capacity levels they're
34:18
reaching those levels so we're reaching
34:20
really interesting times in the in the
34:23
annuity Market as well on the fixed rate
34:24
Market
34:25
but again with who's the winner of all
34:29
this Cherry it's the Boomers it's the
34:30
Savers it's the people that want to live
34:32
off their money and not touch the
34:34
interest and think back to the Jimmy
34:35
Carter days
34:36
I'm telling you this is these are good
34:39
times for Boomers the only thing I tell
34:40
people it's hard to the fear of missing
34:43
out is tough and I did a video call it's
34:46
okay to miss out and I'm preaching to
34:49
the to the choir but some of the choir
34:51
doesn't believe me you know because they
34:53
still want to be apart I found it hard
34:55
it's hard yeah you know twice in my
34:57
lifetime my son has laughed at me once
34:59
was in 2000. and when I had all my
35:02
treasuries and chicken money and I just
35:04
this is it this is what lets me it's a
35:06
lot of money too but um and once and
35:09
just recently Mom this is ridiculous
35:11
we're having seven percent inflation or
35:13
five percent inflation you're getting a
35:14
half of one percent I know but my time
35:16
will come and I kept saying that yes
35:18
okay you just talked about another
35:20
concept and it raised people's ears out
35:22
there you talked about being able to
35:25
only live off the income of the interest
35:29
of your principal correct or the
35:31
interest whatever you can
35:33
I think maybe I talked to a different
35:36
class of people and you do people come
35:37
to you with money I talk to people on
35:39
television and radio and it's a wider
35:42
audience I I could hear anyway a
35:46
distinct murmur from our audience even
35:48
though they're your people not mine that
35:50
the idea there are a lot of people out
35:53
of there that just don't want to run out
35:55
of money correct uh the people are
35:57
living off their income presumably
35:59
they'll have something like they bought
36:00
long-term care insurance so it doesn't
36:02
get dissipated by by that sure and they
36:05
presumably want to leave it to their
36:06
kids but there is a whole lot of other
36:09
people out there who just don't want to
36:12
run out before their life runs of money
36:14
before their life and that's what the
36:16
just so talk to those people for a
36:19
minute yeah that's that's lifetime
36:20
income products I mean and let me
36:22
address we're at a stage now Terry that
36:25
I think to buy an immediate annuity or a
36:28
lifetime income product that is our last
36:29
resort the first thing we're going to
36:31
make we're going to look at when people
36:32
call me and let let me be let me
36:34
disclaim this real quick
36:36
the vast majority of Americans are
36:38
living paycheck to paycheck they have
36:40
less than ten thousand dollars to their
36:41
name and my heart goes out to them every
36:43
single day but the majority of people
36:45
that reach me or reach you are people
36:47
that that have scrimped and saved and
36:49
worked hard and put some money away not
36:51
saying the other people don't work hard
36:52
but it just has happened that you've
36:53
been fortunate but what I'm telling
36:55
people now we're at an interest rate
36:56
level that the first thing we're going
36:59
to try to figure out and always ask
37:00
people you know what's your income floor
37:02
let's add it up Social Security dividend
37:04
payments whatever what do you need to
37:05
live can we buy products that will
37:09
create interest CDs treasuries mygas
37:12
that you don't ever have to test the
37:13
principal because that's the dream never
37:15
touch the principle just live off the
37:16
interest
37:17
and people say but I want to buy an
37:19
immediate annuity that's fine that's a
37:21
turnkey approach but I think it's our
37:23
last resort the only way that I'm going
37:24
to come off of that is as we get older
37:27
there's some cognitive decline issues
37:29
that we need to address whereas lifetime
37:31
income guaranteed products like
37:32
immediate annuities or deferred income
37:34
annuities qlex those type of things they
37:36
do have their place because we're all
37:37
going to get there if we live long
37:39
enough that we're not hitting on all
37:40
cylinders so it's an interesting time in
37:43
my world all right now okay let me say
37:47
this the acknowledgment of what you said
37:48
30 of Social Security recipients
37:52
depend on social security for ninety
37:54
percent I know I know we're not talking
37:56
to that and but we're not
37:58
we're talking about
38:00
probably tune in because you because
38:01
your choice all right so now
38:03
let's say a 65 year old woman and I come
38:05
to you I know that if you give me an
38:07
immediate annuity and that whatever it
38:10
is 2 000 a month looks great now sure
38:12
you know by rule of 72 at seven percent
38:15
inflation it's going to be spending time
38:17
in 10 years
38:19
so what is the so that's your last
38:22
choice so what are you going to tell me
38:24
is I'm 70 maybe or something very easy
38:26
it's very simple I can't believe that
38:28
I'm the only one out here really talking
38:30
about it but people people say Okay Stan
38:33
we're gonna we can live we're gonna get
38:35
four four and a half percent we're gonna
38:36
peel off the answers we're never going
38:38
to test the principle
38:39
and we're going to do that as long as we
38:41
can and as these things mature we
38:42
hopefully roll them to higher interest
38:43
rates but then the question is but what
38:45
happens if we go back to low interest
38:47
rates then we look at immediate
38:50
annuities they might Force our hand to
38:52
what's called annuitize at that point in
38:54
time so what I'm saying is it's kind of
38:57
like that Mel Gibson movie where he was
38:59
he was uh the the warrior in Scotland
39:01
and they're charging him and he's
39:03
telling all his people hold hold hold
39:05
hold you know in other words don't
39:07
attack yet I'm telling people to hold on
39:10
the annuitization unless that's just
39:12
what they want to do if we can solve it
39:14
by just peeling off the interest let's
39:16
do that so what product is it so that's
39:19
a multi-year guarantee annuity that's
39:20
the CD type annuity so if we're talking
39:22
about how to do it in the world there's
39:25
really three products there's treasuries
39:27
there's CDs whether they're brokered CDs
39:30
or Bank CDs but one's sipc insured one's
39:33
FDIC insured and then there's multi-year
39:35
guarantee annuities all three of those
39:37
products protect your principal all
39:39
three of those products have a
39:40
guaranteed yield that's contractual
39:43
there's not a hypothetical theoreticals
39:45
and all three of those products have no
39:47
annual fees so with just those three
39:50
products
39:51
if you can pull it off then fantastic
39:53
let's pull it off and if rates go down
39:55
then what do we do then we annuitize
39:58
just enough to meet that income floor
40:01
and and that and and in combination with
40:03
what you're saying which is having a
40:05
portion in the markets if the income
40:07
floor is taken care of and we have a
40:09
good strategy to go get that
40:11
then you're going to be a better
40:12
investor anyway because you're not going
40:13
to disrupt those Investments and peel
40:16
off money because I I truly believe the
40:18
four percent rules dead been dead for a
40:20
while weight fowl blew it up recently
40:22
and then
40:24
but a lot of people are saying but wait
40:26
a second how do I peel off income from
40:28
my multi-year guaranteed annuity just
40:31
like you do with the CD just like you do
40:32
with the CDs okay that you can there are
40:35
multi-year guarantee news that say just
40:37
send me that interest every month
40:39
just send it to me every month and then
40:41
at the end of the duration with like
40:43
five year then we'll decide whether you
40:45
know we send all the money back to you
40:46
or we do it again do you have people
40:48
doing this in their Iris all day long I
40:51
know all day long I see here's the thing
40:54
about about let's just say investments
40:57
in general but let's talk about these
40:59
type of annuities
41:01
um buying a new is you're buying a
41:02
contractual guarantee it doesn't matter
41:04
if it's a Roth traditional or
41:06
non-qualified what happens is when you
41:08
pull money out that then the taxation is
41:10
different obviously but you're still
41:12
buying guarantees I you know me I'm
41:14
pounding the table you own a young
41:16
contractual guarantees only I don't do
41:18
any hypotheticals or theoreticals but I
41:20
think we're at a really interesting time
41:21
and I'm applauding
41:23
what the fed's doing because what he's
41:25
giving he's giving people choices they
41:28
don't have to annuitize they can live
41:30
off their money and treasury direct.gov
41:33
or go to my site and look at the migrace
41:35
or bankrate.com for CDs you can do it
41:38
you don't need to pay a fee you can do
41:40
this thing and um and then following
41:42
people like Terry I mean this is you can
41:44
do it you're right there I'll tell
41:46
people you know my last video was
41:49
um can you really cross the retirement
41:51
Finish Line can you do it can you really
41:53
do it you're right there and I'm like
41:55
it's a lot of people just can't because
41:57
they don't want to miss the next apple
41:58
or Bitcoin or but my point is this and
42:01
then
42:02
oh here's my here's my last point if you
42:05
can get foreign if your goal in the
42:07
market is seven and let's just say and
42:09
you and I both know if you can get seven
42:10
percent year after year after year on on
42:12
the street they'll build a statue for
42:14
you you know but let's just say historic
42:16
average 10 with dividends reinvested I
42:19
understand that I understand but you
42:20
know people don't people don't hold like
42:22
that my point is seven percent is the
42:25
guy no that's the reason you have the
42:26
nice building in the background
42:28
um if people if let's just say your goal
42:30
is seven percent and you can get four
42:32
and a half contractual or I'm talking
42:33
about my world or four in a CD or seven
42:36
plus in a in a in an i Bond okay if you
42:40
could do that then why are you putting
42:41
your money at risk for the extra couple
42:43
hundred basis points that's my question
42:45
to people yeah that's what okay you're
42:49
right you know what you understanding
42:50
the same message is
42:52
especially to this stage
42:55
don't take that train anymore you took
42:58
the train to work every day you looked
43:01
at the market every day you don't have
43:03
to do that anymore the chicken money is
43:05
good now the chicken money for chicken
43:09
money can do it you can live off the
43:11
chicken money right and if you quote
43:14
that's the Savage truth Terry Savage
43:16
it's true and you can you have to dig in
43:17
the principle a little bit you did you
43:20
worked so hard for it I I just hate a 93
43:24
year old woman called me
43:26
I'm gonna I literally got on the
43:29
conference call with her she was in a
43:31
some mutual funds and I said to the guy
43:34
sell that this is three weeks ago sell
43:37
that and leave and sell half of it she
43:40
was a little bit left that's a little
43:43
bit left and she said Terry I said
43:45
that's all going in the money market
43:47
right now but there's no
43:49
you will sleep you're 93. I didn't
43:53
exactly and you know and there are those
43:55
peoples out there that's the 85 year old
43:58
options Trader that doesn't care and
44:00
they know what they're doing great then
44:01
do your thing but for the rest of us out
44:03
there I always tell people Market's
44:05
tough because it's like surfing beside a
44:08
cruise ship you can catch a wave
44:09
sometime but most of the time you're
44:11
going to get sucked under the boat and
44:12
the other thing too is you know they let
44:15
us peons in from 9 30 to 4 every day and
44:17
they trade trade 24 7 365. what's your
44:21
opinion on that how do you answer a
44:22
person and go well that's not fair when
44:24
I see after market trading what do you
44:26
tell them you can do that look I am a
44:28
full disclosure I'm on the board of
44:29
directors for 20 years CME Group parent
44:32
of the Chicago Market too right the word
44:34
of trade so what
44:36
um there is global trading the world
44:37
exists outside of our time zone look if
44:40
let me just fully disclose if I were a
44:44
great Trader I wouldn't be on this
44:46
computer with you I'd be sitting trading
44:48
now even if it's after hours that's the
44:50
reason you're not selling Terry Savage
44:52
trading systems for two thousand dollars
44:54
I sell nothing I get no endorsement fee
44:57
I am totally
44:59
what did you
45:01
produce yours yes exactly because I ate
45:04
my own cooking but I also realized long
45:07
long ago when I had the edge I was on
45:09
the floor that didn't mean I was a great
45:11
Trader I am a really good long-term
45:13
investor I have some really bad stuff up
45:16
on my gold side Tower with a bad
45:17
long-term stuff but I've had some great
45:20
I mean I bought Amazon the I remember
45:24
the day I learned that they sold more
45:27
than books how many years ago was that
45:29
oh yeah
45:32
forever and never think about it I
45:35
bought hologic the day I took my first
45:37
bone density scanned maybe 25 years ago
45:39
and I said there's a machine you don't
45:41
have to get inside of it and they can
45:43
tell you and I every once in a while I
45:45
look at the stack I think and whenever
45:46
this way to buy stocks right there is is
45:48
buy what gets your attention that makes
45:51
sense yeah and I mostly use funds now
45:54
especially now so look the message is
45:58
everybody tunes into you because you
46:01
have something unique you you really
46:04
have a way of helping people well that's
46:06
what I do in my go to terrysavage.com
46:09
you can read my comments I don't sell in
46:11
there nobody pays no ads no clicks no
46:13
anything even though we're going to have
46:14
links to your books just in case oh yeah
46:17
The Savage truth I mean it's on Amazon
46:18
but that's no big deal now okay um look
46:20
the whole thing is
46:22
there are not a lot of people around out
46:24
there
46:25
that could take you by the hand
46:28
and Lead You Away from the giant because
46:31
I said it's a giant Financial Services
46:33
industry which is spending all that
46:36
money on television ads follow the path
46:38
to retirement we of course we take care
46:40
of you sure look at all the money
46:43
they're spending on the ads who are they
46:45
whose money is it it's the money they
46:46
get and fees from you
46:49
um I want to mention one other platform
46:51
nothing like this but I do a podcast
46:54
with the gal that created wealth
46:57
ramp.com that's Pam Kruger sure created
47:01
match.com for fee only yeah
47:05
financial advisors you have to have her
47:07
on the yeah and the whole point of it is
47:11
that um you will be with someone who's
47:13
not getting commissions can do a
47:16
complete financial plan and you she
47:18
personally matches yeah I I love the
47:21
only planners I've had people on before
47:23
that that do that we got to wind this
47:25
thing up but I'm gonna throw I'm gonna
47:27
throw a curveball at you because
47:28
typically what I do with people as I say
47:31
um mic drop moment but I'm going to say
47:32
mic drop mama where you're going to wow
47:34
us Terry but it's got to be a horse
47:37
analogy because you're a equestrian at
47:40
and you're wonderful at it so I need a
47:43
mic drop moment where you work in a
47:45
horse analogy go
47:48
well at one time I was married I was
47:51
married to a commodity Trader and he
47:53
said your horses are my worst commodity
47:55
spread I go short oats and come out a
47:57
long horse
48:01
that's pretty good look at do as I say
48:04
not as I do yes I do have horses I show
48:06
horses as a matter of fact and it'll
48:08
never show up on my website that's my
48:10
everybody cat everybody's loud a passion
48:13
it doesn't come up to be purely
48:16
Financial but if I I'm just extending
48:19
brought me to a point where I'd never
48:20
thought of before when you said you
48:22
don't have to play the game anymore yep
48:24
if your passion is watching the markets
48:26
that's fine set aside some money right
48:28
but don't have a heart attack over the
48:30
markets now you've worked so long to get
48:32
to this place of Financial Security that
48:34
you can watch this podcast
48:35
set some chicken money aside be patient
48:38
set up a plan do something in the way of
48:41
income for life at some point sure and
48:44
you'll be glad you did the the race goes
48:47
to the person not who has the most at
48:49
the end but who enjoyed it the most
48:50
along the way
48:52
as I always tell people there's three
48:53
phases of retirement and this came from
48:55
a good friend of mine Steve Harris
48:56
there's go go slow go and no go let's
48:59
let's do the go go
49:01
really let's if you're in go go let's go
49:03
get it because you're getting ready to
49:05
get into slogo and then there will be no
49:07
go so as as I tell people this is this
49:10
is my motivational saying of the day
49:12
that all my clients laugh when I say it
49:14
there's no U-Hauls behind her says Terry
49:16
Savage exactly you see that if you see
49:19
one
49:21
um I told my Consultants the other day
49:23
and I'll close with this is that they're
49:25
always wanting me to go out and promote
49:27
and all I said I said I tell you what
49:28
you do buy me a really Decked Out purse
49:32
with a really good stereo system and
49:35
then attach a attach a U-Haul and put my
49:37
logo on and put and then just let me
49:39
drive around and talk about lifetime
49:40
income and guarantees they're like
49:42
that's a little aggressive I'm like no
49:44
that's beautiful marketing is what that
49:46
is that think about if I did that road
49:48
show Tara you come through Chicago and
49:51
you didn't agree well you come to
49:55
Chicago we'll put you I could get out I
49:57
could actually get out of the casket and
49:58
go you know it would it could be
50:00
dramatic I mean you know
50:05
think about that Terry would you do a
50:08
podcast with me
50:09
doing that podcast anywhere you go I'm
50:12
going again well listen Terry Savage
