A simple, easy-to-use formula to make sure you never run out of cash
As a financial columnist, I get asked the same heartfelt question over and over: “How do I make sure I don’t outlive my money?” And that makes sense. Surveys confirm that the No. 1 worry among older Americans is running out of cash.
Fortunately, financial planners have come up with sound ways to prevent this. Collected here are their key rules for maintaining a livable income for life, plus case studies that show how to put these general rules into action. The goal is your peace of mind — knowing that you’re getting the most from the money you’ve saved and that you’ll always have enough.
The Magic Number
The key to long-term planning is knowing one essential number: how much money you can afford to spend annually. From there, you can adjust your expenses to fit.
You may be tempted to reverse the order — estimate your future expenses, then adjust your investment assumptions to make that spending appear possible. But that’s wishful thinking: a hope that big investment returns will rescue your budget. It leads to overspending early on, and regret later.
Instead, let’s focus on the real, guaranteed money you’ll have. There are two main sources:
Your personal savings and investments.
Your guaranteed income from other sources.
Download this worksheet to help you find your sustainable income. The key steps:
Step 1: Tally Your Guaranteed Income
The most common source is Social Security, which you may already be collecting. (If you’re not, get an estimate by calling Social Security or by opening a My Social Security account at ssa.gov.) You might also have a pension or annuity.
If you own a reliable rental property, include the amount of rent you receive after expenses.
Step 2: Estimate Your Income from Savings
How much annual income can you prudently take from your savings and investments? To get the answer, there’s a surprisingly simple rule of thumb:
Add up the current value of your spendable assets, such as bank accounts, mutual funds, stocks and bonds. Include both retirement and nonretirement savings.
Subtract from that total a cash cushion to help cover near-term expenses.
Then take 4 percent of what remains.
That’s the “safe” amount of your assets that financial planners say you can afford to spend in the first year of retirement without running the risk that your savings will run out. In each subsequent year, take the same dollar amount plus an increase for inflation.
Example: Say you have $100,000 invested (plus a cash cushion). In the first year of retirement you could spend $4,000 of that money. If inflation is running at 3 percent, your second-year withdrawal would be $4,120 — the first-year amount plus an inflation increase. Follow this pattern in each future year.
Under this system, known as the “4 percent rule,” your savings should last at least 30 years and probably more. That forecast is based on the pioneering work of planner William Bengen, who tested 30-year spending rates against the historical returns of U.S. stocks and Treasury bonds.
Some years the markets are up and some years they’re down, but the 4 percent rule takes that into account. As long as you keep withdrawing a steady amount of money, plus increases for inflation, you won’t run out.
This rule would have protected your annual income even during 30-year periods that included the Great Depression of the 1930s and Great Stagflation of the 1970s. In better periods, savings lasted for many years more.
Step 3: Total Your Income
Add that “safe” 4 percent amount to your annual guaranteed income. For example, if you’re due $20,000 from Social Security and take $4,000 from a $100,000 nest egg, you’ll have $24,000 that you can safely use for living expenses, including any taxes.
Step 4: Set Your Budget
Finally, divide your expected yearly income by 12 to get your available monthly cash. And that’s it. Don’t worry about inflation; your income should keep up with inflation, thanks to Social Security’s cost-of-living increases and the annual increases you take from savings.
Special Factors
You're Married
Calculate your spendable income three ways: once as a couple, once assuming that you die first, and once assuming that your spouse dies first. Don’t skip this analysis! Couples generally get two Social Security checks — one per spouse.
The survivor will get only one. If you get a pension, it, too, might go down or go away when you die. Each spouse should know what might change after the other’s death.
You're a Homeowner
Worried that these numbers won’t fund a decent standard of living? You might want to tap your home equity.
Home equity loans, however, can be hard for retirees to get. Instead, if you want to stay put, you might get a reverse mortgage: a loan against your home with no payments due until you leave it permanently. The debt is usually settled via proceeds from your home’s sale.
Costs are high: If your house is worth $260,500 — the median U.S. price — a $50,000 credit line might carry $13,000 in one-time fees. (That money comes from your home equity, not your pocket.) Another option: Take in a renter. Or you could downsize, adding your home-sale proceeds to your investments.
You Fear Stocks
The 4 percent rule rests on the premise that you invest about half of your nest egg in low-cost funds — index mutual funds or exchange-traded funds — that hold big-company stocks and track the market’s moves. The other half is in Treasury bond funds. If you also hold funds with smaller stocks, Bengen says it’s safe to start at 4.5 percent.
If you avoid stocks, however, and own only bonds and CDs, 4 percent is too high. Your initial safe withdrawal rate is more like 3 percent, says economist Wade Pfau of the American College of Financial Services in Bryn Mawr, Pa. You might also start with that number if you retire early or own individual stocks, which are riskier than market-tracking mutual funds.
On the other hand, you might go higher. The original 4 percent rule was designed to protect you from the worst of times, says financial planner Jonathan Guyton of Edina, Minn. But most 30-year periods do just fine, and you might find that you’re skimping while money piles up.
Guyton suggests starting with 5 or 5.5 percent. But do that, he says, only if you have at least 60 percent of your investments in stocks and you’re willing to cut back a little — say, 10 percent of your planned annual withdrawal — when markets fall.
Five percent also makes sense if you want only 20 years of income — for example, if you don’t quit work until you turn 75.

5 Things to Do If You Receive a Windfall (Or RV)
Getting rich can be easy compared with staying rich.
It isn't likely that you will become fabulously wealthy overnight, but it can happen.
You could learn of a rich uncle who left you a fortune in his will. The lottery gods may bless you. You might be really good at March Madness picks and win $1 billion promised by Warren Buffett and Quicken Loans for correctly guessing the winners of 67 basketball games.
So just for kicks, and for the few readers who find themselves in this position, what should you do if you suddenly, practically overnight, become fantastically rich beyond your wildest imagination?

5 Things to Do If You Receive a Windfall (Or RV)
Getting rich can be easy compared with staying rich.
It isn't likely that you will become fabulously wealthy overnight, but it can happen.
You could learn of a rich uncle who left you a fortune in his will. The lottery gods may bless you. You might be really good at March Madness picks and win $1 billion promised by Warren Buffett and Quicken Loans for correctly guessing the winners of 67 basketball games.
So just for kicks, and for the few readers who find themselves in this position, what should you do if you suddenly, practically overnight, become fantastically rich beyond your wildest imagination?
If you can help it, tell almost no one. You may not be able to prevent everyone from finding out. A will becomes a public document. If you win a gazillion dollars after a successful lawsuit, it won't exactly be a secret; the press will likely have been reporting on your every move.
In most states, if you win a lottery, you must agree to have your name released to the public, which helps their marketing cause but not necessarily yours.
But if you can, keep your mouth shut, advises Sally Mulhern, an estate planning attorney in Portsmouth, N.H.
She says she had a client who won $2 million in a lottery and never told anyone other than his wife. "Not his parents, children, co-workers, friends or anyone else. He told me it's difficult, but definitely worth it," Mulhern says.
Why the secrecy? For the obvious reasons: "Those friends you haven't seen in years are not your real friends," Mulhern says.
And you may even have enemies. Nearly two years after the fact, the murder of Urooj Khan is still unsolved. Khan was an Indian immigrant and Chicago resident who owned three dry-cleaning shops and five condominiums and won $1 million in June 2012 in the Illinois lottery.
Khan apparently told everyone of his windfall; he was so happy when he won his scratch-off ticket that, according to media reports, he tipped the clerk $100.
He was poisoned by cyanide in July 2012, one day after he received a check for $424,449, the amount left over after he selected a one-time payment, minus taxes.
For as long as possible, do nothing. That is, don't spend unusually large amounts of money. The last thing you want to do is blunder into an expensive purchase you can't return and will soon regret.
According to Dan White, a Philadelphia-area financial planner, "Many people move too quickly, acting on impulse and not giving themselves the time to think."
He says some of the issues you'll need to think about include your current debt, your plans for retirement and what you want to do about taxes. This is the time, in any case, to process what has just happened to you.
Hire a good team. While you're doing nothing, here's something you can do. "Surround yourself immediately with expert, trustworthy advisors," Mulhern says. "This includes an estate planning attorney, but perhaps more important, a tax accountant."
Mulhern stresses this point because she says she had a client who won $70 million in a lottery, but because his income in previous years hadn't been high enough to require him to file, he didn't report his taxes.
"Before meeting with us, [he] got into trouble with the IRS," Mulhern says.
There are other reasons to hire a tax accountant besides staying in good graces with the IRS, although that's an excellent one. Lawrence Pon, a certified public accountant in Redwood City, Calif., who has been doing clients' taxes for 28 years, says talking to a tax advisor first can help you avoid mistakes like bad investments or overspending.
For instance, Pon says, "some inheritances are set up so they aren't paid until a certain age or conditions are met."
He adds that he once saw a trust that indicated the child would be disinherited if he didn't pass a drug test.
In other words, if you go from having no money to a lot of it, you're going to come in contact with a lot of issues you probably aren't familiar with.
Yes, you'll spend money hiring an estate planning attorney, accountant, financial advisor, tax advisor and whomever else you decide to bring aboard, but if they save you thousands or millions in the long run, it will be money well-spent.
And, of course, if you're worth millions and everyone knows it, you may want to hire a security firm – at least for a while.
Your newfound attorney, accountant or financial advisor or should be able to point you to a local firm that specializes in protecting high-net-worth clients.

Finding a Financial Advisor or Planner
By Troy Segal Jun 3, 2019
If it's ever occurred to you how complex and vital 'getting it right' is when it comes to saving, investing, maximizing the value of your wealth and planning for a safe, comfortable retirement, you've probably asked yourself if you should employ a financial planner or advisor.
Similarly, if you've felt the pressure of deciding on a big investment, such as a home or education—or felt overwhelmed with the financial details after a wedding, the birth of a child, divorce, death of a spouse, or major illness—you've probably wondered about finding someone to advise you.

If it's ever occurred to you how complex and vital 'getting it right' is when it comes to saving, investing, maximizing the value of your wealth and planning for a safe, comfortable retirement, you've probably asked yourself if you should employ a financial planner or advisor.
Similarly, if you've felt the pressure of deciding on a big investment, such as a home or education—or felt overwhelmed with the financial details after a wedding, the birth of a child, divorce, death of a spouse, or major illness—you've probably wondered about finding someone to advise you.
Services of Advisors and Planners
According to a 2019 CNBC and Acorns Invest survey, over a third of Americans don't have a good understanding of what a financial advisor actually does. That figure balloons to 46% for Millennials.
So what kind of services do financial advisors and planners provide? Broadly, they can help you manage your financial life using a variety of strategies and products to both manage your wealth and improve your financial habits.
Types of Financial Advice
Not all financial advisors are the same. Some specialize in certain practice areas, types of clients, income levels, investment strategies, and products. Some work with clients all over the country, while others focus on clients in their town.
Some can help you with your taxes, insurance needs, or estate planning and others will focus on retirement planning. There are advisors for the younger client and some specialize on retirees. You can find a planner to help with life stages planning, estate distribution strategies, and business planning.
From managing every aspect of your personal or business financial life to simply suggesting directions, there are specialized professionals available to help.
Reasons to Seek Financial Advice
You may need an advisor for many reasons. For example, perhaps you just received a considerable sum of money from a relative who died or a windfall from the state lottery. As a person goes through different stages in life, their need for a financial professional will change.
Perhaps you just had a baby and want to ensure their future in case the worst happens. Many parents seek help for college savings for children and setting up estates that can convey wealth to future generations.
The approach to investing at or during retirement is different than that of a young worker. As you near retirement your risk tolerance level will change, and your style of investing should change as well. Perhaps your company is offering a too-good-to-resist early-retirement package, and you want to make sure the money lasts.
Any of these events (and many others) could naturally trigger the desire for some professional help in managing your financial affairs.
How to Find Good Financial Help
How should you go about finding the right advisor? The first step is to figure out what sort of professional financial help you need. Like many people, some of your deepest financial thinking comes at tax time.
So if you just want someone to dole out tax advice and preparation, a good old Certified Public Accountant (CPA) will probably suffice. That CPA may or may not also be a financial advisor.
Investment Management—Financial Planners
Financial planners are professionals who help businesses and individuals create investment plans that meet long-term goals.
Say you're looking for help in creating a savings plan, devising investment strategies for your investment portfolio, getting out of debt, and start saving for a house. In short, if you want someone to look at your entire situation, you should seek the help of a comprehensive financial planning firm or an individual financial planner.
Firms typically have a staff of professionals that includes a financial planner. Solo-practitioner planners may not be able to provide you with the full range of services that a firm can, but many will work hand-in-hand with other professionals who can provide those services.
Financial planners can carry designations such as:
Certified Financial Planner (CFP®)
Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®)
Certified Fund Specialist (CFS)
Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC)
Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA)
There are many other designations as well
Each of the specific designations will require a different set of experience requirements as well as the successful completion of an exam or series of tests.
To locate a planner, start with referrals from colleagues, friends or family members who seem to be managing their finances successfully. Another avenue is professional recommendations. An accountant or a lawyer might make a referral. Professional associations can sometimes provide help. The Financial Planning Association (FPA) will also be able to help you locate a planner in your area.
Managing Money—Financial Advisors
A financial advisor is a broad term that covers many types of professionals. They may help you manage your investments by facilitating the buying and selling of securities. These individuals include bankers, accountants, stockbrokers, insurance agents, and estate planners.
Financial advisors handle a wide range of money matters for individuals and businesses while a financial planner handles more specialized matters.
Financial advisors may work in independent practices or part of a firm or financial institution. All advisors who work with the public must have a current Series 65 License. The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) is a good place to start your search for help.
Fee-Only vs. Fee-Based
A fee-based structure can be hourly, project, retainer or a flat ongoing amount that is derived from the percentage of assets being managed; usually, the greater the assets, the lower the percentage. Commission-based means the advisor charges a straight commission every time a transaction occurs or a financial product is purchased.
Commission Based
Although most of the big retail brokerages offer financial planning services, be cautious with their personnel. While many are highly trained and can be trusted, others may just be glorified stockbrokers hired by large wirehouses to sell proprietary mutual funds and stocks.
Known as fee-based, they are incentivized, sometimes even required, to push these products, which are owned by their firm—and for which they receive top commissions. And with some wirehouses, it's all about quantity, not quality. The more buying and selling that a broker does in an investor's account, the higher his commission payouts.
Fee-Only
Another type of advisor is the fee-only advisor. These professionals carry designations such as registered investment advisor (RIA) or investment advisor representative (IAR). They are held to a high degree of accountability, and you'll typically find them knowledgeable.
They are also required to provide to all potential investors upon request a Form ADV Part II. This form is a uniform submission used by advisors to register with state regulators and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Form ADV Part II—which must be completed each year—contains information about the individual. Among other things, this will allow you to determine whether your advisor has ever applied for personal bankruptcy and their investment in other financial institutions. The form identifies the individual's investment style, officers of the firm, and the firm's assets under management (AUM).
The Debate Between the Two Structures
Fee advisors claim that their advice is superior because it has no conflict of interest. Commission-based professionals, they argue, can compromise an advisor's integrity, affecting the selection or recommendation of products (some companies might compensate the advisor better than others).
In return, commission advisors respond that those who get paid based on their assets under management (AUM) are more likely to recommend financial strategies that increase their AUM, even if they aren’t in the client's best interest. They argue that commissions keep their services affordable (though the costs of these commissions are born by you the investor and serve to reduce your returns).
Each year, more investors are shifting from the traditional commission set up and moving towards the modern fee-only approach. Because set fees are new to many investors, some common questions have risen, such as:
"What is a fair fee?"
"How will I be billed?"
With the average mutual fund still charging an expense fee of approximately 1.4%, it's safe to say that a total fee of 1.8% to 2% is fair.
If you can find an advisor who can package an investment program that includes the cost of the investments, trading, custody, and the advisor's professional services for 1.8% or less, you're getting a sweet deal. Most fees are now billed quarterly, so you'll need to know whether they will be pulled in advance or in arrears.
A combination of payment methods may also occur. Before you sign on to work with an advisor, you should make sure that the rates, fee structure, and commission schedules are clearly laid out (preferably in writing, as RIAs are required to do by law) so there are no surprises later.
Evaluating the Professional
Anyone can call him or herself a financial analyst, financial advisor, financial planner, financial consultant, investment consultant or wealth manager, warns the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
In fact, an individual could drop out of high school, rent some office space, pass a FINRA general securities exam and be selling stocks—all within a couple of weeks. While exams such as the Series 6, 7 and 63 satisfy the industry regulatory requirements, they do not offer the advisor experience when it comes to real-life situations.
The financial industry is also rife with professional designations, many of which can be obtained with little or no effort. However, it does have three leading certifications that have significant educational and ethical requirements:
A Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) has a wide range of expertise in securities, financial analysis, investing, portfolio management and banking. The testing regimen for this certification is long and rigorous.
A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) must hold a bachelor’s degree and must have completed “a college-level program of study in personal financial planning, or an accepted equivalent.”
In addition, a CFP has booked at least three years of industry experience and passed a series of comprehensive tests, abides by a code of ethics, and meets continuing education requirements. You can check the CFP Board’s website to verify that your advisor or financial planner belongs to this group.
A Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) holds a certificate that uses the same core curriculum as the CFP but does not require a comprehensive board exam and does not require that he or she abide by a code of ethics.
The latter two are often considered best for creating a general financial plan. If you are looking for someone with more of a retirement focus you may want to seek out a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC), who have completed intensive training in retirement planning through the College for Financial Planning.
If your concerns are dominated by taxes, try a Personal Financial Specialist (PFS) who is a CPA but has also undergone additional education and testing, thereby offering more expert financial planning qualifications. For insurance and estate-planning matters, you might want an advisor who has attained mastery as a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU).
FINRA's Broker Check Site
You can check for any regulatory blemishes on the advisor’s record at FINRA’s broker check site. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that an isolated complaint or infraction does not necessarily mean that the planner is dishonest or incompetent.
Any charge brought against a broker or planner will go on the person's record, regardless of whether the planner is in the right. But if the record shows a long-term pattern of violations, customer complaints or charges of a serious nature, then you should probably find someone else.
Importance of Fiduciary Standard
Whatever sort of services you need, make sure that advisor is held to fiduciary standards, which charges them with the responsibility of acting in the best interests of an investor. In the investment world, RIAs are required to abide by a fiduciary standard; stockbrokers generally only have to abide by the less-rigorous suitability standard.
However, the Department of Labor's Fiduciary Rule partially phased in on June 9, 2017, greatly expands the types of professionals who are expected to comply with fiduciary standards.
Registered investment advisors are either registered with their state of residence or the SEC. They are regulated under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.
Questions to Ask
Once you've identified a firm or individual to work with, make sure you understand all of the services that are available. At a minimum, consider the following:
Will they track your investment cost basis for you?
Can they file your tax return and help you with other tax-related questions?
Do they look at insurance products including life insurance, long-term care, and annuities?
Can they help you plan your estate and distribution of wealth?
Will they refer you to another professional if the firm cannot provide the service itself?
Is there a succession plan, in case something happens to your advisor?
Ask About Communication
It’s also important for clients and prospective clients to understand how their financial advisor communicates with clients and the frequency of those communications. How often will you meet to review your portfolio and your overall situation? Quarterly, semiannually, annually or as needed?
Will these meetings be done in person or perhaps over the phone, or via a service like Skype? It's becoming more and more common for clients to work with their financial advisor remotely.
Additionally, does the advisor typically communicate by phone, email, or perhaps text message? Any or all are fine, and both your preferences and the advisor may be based on your age and digital comfort level.
Ask About Financial Expertise
It's also good to ascertain if your situation is typical of the advisor’s client base. For example, if you are a corporate employee looking for help planning for the exercise of your stock options, you should ask the advisor about their knowledge and experience in dealing with clients like you.
A financial advisor who deals primarily with clients at or nearing retirement might not be a good choice for you if you are a 30-year-old professional looking for a financial plan.
The Bottom Line
Good financial planners and advisors are compared to "life coaches" because they can help you with many of your complex financial decisions throughout your life.
A financial advisor can offer tips on buying a car, saving for college and refinancing your home mortgage, just to name a few. They deal with other financial professionals on a daily basis, and they typically know if you're paying too much for something or not getting a competitive rate.
Great financial planners will not only help you make money on your investments but will also help you reach your goals, avoid undue investment risks, and save money on insurance and other major decisions throughout your lifetime.
To maximize your experience with your planner or advisor, you should meet with the person regularly, share your concerns and goals, and allow your advisor to review all of your financial and legal documents regularly.

If anyone is wondering how We will be getting so much money for exchanging Iraqi Dinar when we paid so little for it-Here is a GREAT explanation. Enjoy. From Recaps Archives a few years ago.
REMEMBER: The figures and procedures may have changed over the years but the basic concept will help you understand what is happening when we exchange
CONCEPT EXPLAINED:
First off, I’ll use the exchange of a 10,000 IQD note as my example. To help explain the economics of this cash-in example, I will use a 1:1 cash-in ratio between the USD and IQD, that is given a two-tier payout, and a 2% bank spread.
What You Will Receive:
If you were to cash in your 10,000 IQD note with a bank that charges you a 2% spread, you would personally receive a net take-home of $9,800 credited to your bank account.
What Your Bank Will Receive:
Your Bank will receive a $10,000 credit to its Federal Reserve Account. They will also be able to add the $200 profit to their “capital account”.
If you don’t understand the “Fractional Banking“ concept that runs our country, you may want to, as that is what this is based on, and is what is behind this entire concept and plan. To learn more about this concept, I suggest you click HERE, and go to a video post I brought to the forum previously, and posted in my “Tidbits“ section.
Ultimately, the bank wins because they are able to gain $2,000 in lending power under the 10% “Fractional Banking“ model.
What the US Treasury Will Receive:
First off, the US Treasury will receive $3,500 in estimated taxes in the quarter after the exchange, because you are now in the “rich” category and get to enjoy the 35% tax bracket. This lowers the “net cost” of the IQD exchange to the US financial system to $6,500 USD (i.e. $10,000 out – $3,500 in). Furthermore, the US Treasury’s rate is higher than the banking rate (we will use in this example 1.25), thereby further reducing their “net cost” from $6,500 to $4,000.
Oil Now Enters the Picture:
At some point, a Fed-appointed agent orders $12,500 worth of oil from Iraq. Payment will consist of a $12,500 transfer from the Fed’s foreign currency reserve IQD account to the IRAQ Oil payment account at the CBI in a form otherwise known as PetroDollars/PetroDinar. Even though the world spot price of oil is defined in terms of USD, the actual transaction may take place in any internationally recognized currency agreed to by the parties. For example, Iran only accepts Yen from Japan for their oil orders, because they don’t want USD in their foreign currency reserves.
How the CBI “RECAPTURES” the Money:
The $12,500 order is filled with 250 barrels of oil based on the spot price on the date of the sale (for this example we used a $50 USD spot price). What does it cost Iraq to produce the oil to fill this order? Well they have negotiated productions agreements for approximately $1.50 USD/barrel. From that price $.50 USD goes to the national Iraqi oil company who is the partner in the field the oil came from. Out of the remaining $1.00 the other oil field partners have to pay the Iraq government a profit tax of $.35 USD (35%). The net cost to Iraq to produce a barrel of oil used in this scenario is $.65 USD. (i.e. $1.50 – .50 – .35)
What does all that mean? It cost Iraq $162.50 to bring back a 10,000 IQD note! Can they afford that? I think so! So, instead of paying out $12,500 for a 10,000 IQD note, they only pay $162.50! That doesn’t add to the money supply much at all does it! They receive their IQD back and place it in the CBI, or destroy it.
The transaction is completed with the Federal Reserve exchanging foreign reserve credits which are equal to $12,500 USD (which had a net acquisition cost of $4,000 USD for the US) for 250 barrels of oil (which has a TOTAL COST to produce of $162.50 USD for Iraq.
More completely explained, and simply put, it cost Iraq $162.50 USD from their foreign currency reserve accounts to redeem the value of 10,000 IQD, which goes into their operating accounts. At the same time the US got $12,500 worth of oil for a net cost of $4,000. That’s how it was originally planned for Iraq to RV at 1 IQD = 1 USD, with the variable being the political element (i.e. UN Sanctions, GOI actions, IMF actions, World Bank actions etc.)
Other Factors that Strengthen Iraq’s Position and Ability to RV:
• DFI Funds Returned & Other Assets: $280+ Billion USD, plus other frozen assets (estimated at $100 billion) will be returned back to Iraq and added to their foreign currency reserve, bringing it up to $430+ billion USD.
• CBI IQD Reserve Requirement Adjustment: The CBI will change the current fractional IQD reserve requirements from 100% to 15% at the appropriate time. As a result, the the total potential money supply will be raised in value to $2.8 Trillion (430 billion/15), while at the same time, the total physical IQD in circulation will be reduced by removing the large bills with the 3 zeros over a period of 2 years, as they have indicated.
• Oil Production Increased: Iraq will also execute the plan they announced to increase oil production from 2+ million barrels/day to 10 million barrels/day with the resulting revenues flowing directly to the Iraq treasury.
• Oil Futures & Forex Contracts Added: To further stir the pot, the CBI will continue to use it’s sales window to market oil futures and forex contracts. They have shown they can generate significant cash flow in the private market. Think of their impact in public markets.
There, my friends, is how this plan will be enacted and made possible. Taking NOTHING, and turning it into SOMETHING, then bringing it back to a “manageable and reasonable something” that is accepted and supported by seeming endless supplies of oil. This is how the world’s ENTIRE NEW MONETARY SYSTEM will be regenerated and supported and backed, given, in essence, a re-birth and renewed for most governments and economic regions… even by “Black Gold”.
So, here’s the summary for all the “players” involved, giving ballpark numbers, and not taking into account superfluous costs, fees, and other small details that don’t really affect the larger picture:
• Investor’s Net Gain: $10,000 – $200 = $9,800 x .65 = 6,370 for an investment that cost $10
• Bank’s Net Gain: $200 added to “capital account”, plus $2,000 they can use to loan out.
• US Treasury Net Gain: $2,500 from the .25 spread on top + $3,500 in quarterly taxes = $6,000
• CBI/GOI/Iraqi People Net Gain: $12,500 – $162.50 = $12,337.50 + Profits from “Other Factors”
• Overall Net Gain for All Involved: $6,370+$200+$6,000+12,337.20 = $24,907.20
This is the wealth that was generated from a single 10,000 IQD note that was given an original value of approximately $10! Is that amazing or what?! You tell me… can Iraq afford NOT to RV?!!! Will the IMF allow them to NOT RV their currency, but simply replace their large denoms for smaller ones?!!! LOL!!!
In this scenario, EVERYONE WINS… and the IQD is slowly (over 2 years) taken back in to the CBI… eventually destroyed, leaving a manageable M2 behind, having created HUGE WEALTH throughout the world to re-supply what was allowed to be destroyed in the “great bleed” over a period of just a few weeks a couple of years ago, even the greatest redistribution of wealth the world has ever seen.
Believe it or not, it has happened for this very purpose, and it IS coming!
For the people who do not understand how this can happen $$$$ posted by FREEWAY BILL
Let me just say that I am not a guru. I do not claim to know when the RV will happen or what rate it will come in at. Does not matter. So many people have used the abundance of money involved makes it impossible for it to happen.
Let me give you some things to ponder:
There were originally 30 trillion dinar printed. Well over 80% of that amount has been accounted for and is in the hands of Iraq. That leaves 6 trillion dinar out of which US, China, Russia, Brazil and other countries hold a substantial amount of these in their countries. So let us say that there is 1 – 1.5 trillion is out in the hands of regular people, trusts, etc. How could Iraq possibly cash in this much at one time?
They can’t! Or Can They?
China and the US have signed agreements that they each will take all of their dinar and all that they cash in from their citizens in OIL @ an agreed upon rate of $32.00 per barrel for however long it takes. Now taking the total of 6 trillion that is supposedly out there which would be multiplied by the rate that we will set at $ 4 just to go from a number of some kind.
So now we have $ 24,000,000,000,000! Seems like an amount that just will not be possible? Read on.
24 trillion dollars will transform to 750 BILLION barrels of oil @ $32.00. That is what it will cost Iraq to payoff. That is still a lot of money, right? Well, considering that one barrel of oil cost Iraq less than $ 2.00 per barrel to process which means that Iraq can pay off ALL of the Dinar still out for $1,500,000,000 while coming out of sanctions, becoming a powerful country and a part of the UN and WTO and go forward.
Being that this RV would basically make it so the US will be able to pay off most or all of their national debt along with the other countries involved would be doing the same making the World Economy would get a tremendous shot in the arm and everyone would be on a better playing field meaning World trade would be enhanced and the US and China emerge as the strongest and Iraq comes out as either the richest or the 2nd richest country in the world.
So, my friends, the RV can happen and actually if you take Iraq’s assets, it could actually justify RVing at upwards of $ 8 – $ 12 and this calculation would work and still leave Iraq with a smidgen of debt compared to the assets they have.
So rest assured that there will BE NO LOP because it is not necessary and it would deflate this entire plan and not help anyone and Iraq would not emerge as a stable government or friend to anyone.
So, poke holes in this if you wish. I would be interested to see what anyone can come up with that will change these numbers. I am not a genius, just an investor that has to reason out everything I invest in to see where the return can come from and how much it can actually reasonably be…
I didn’t come up with this plan, but whoever did was a genius. This is historic. People have said to me, “How can you invest so little and gain so much?”
Well, not in our lifetime has any country been completely destroyed, government and all with the agenda to build it back up. This plan was IMO in place before the first boot hit the ground in Iraq. It all makes sense.
Please feel free to credibly pick this apart if you can. I have studied this to no end and I keep coming up with the same numbers.

This may be old news to some of you, But to many it will be enlightening. When officially introduced at the end of the British mandate (1932), the dinar [consisting of 1,000 fils or 20 dirhams] was equal to, and was linked to, the British pound sterling, which at that time was equal to US$4.86. Iraqi dinar (ID) equaled US$4.86 between 1932 and 1949 and after devaluation in 1949, equaled US$2.80 between 1949 and 1971.

Iraqi dinar (ID) equaled US$4.86 between 1932 and 1949 and after devaluation in 1949, equaled US$2.80 between 1949 and 1971.
Iraq officially uncoupled the dinar from the pound sterling as a gesture of independence in 1959, but the dinar remained at parity with the pound until the British unit of currency was again devalued in 1967.
One Iraqi dinar remained equal to US$2.80 until December 1971, when major realignments of world currencies began. Upon the devaluation of the United States dollar in 1973, the Iraqi dinar appreciated to US$3.39. It remained at this level until the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War in 1980. In 1982 Iraq devalued the dinar by 5 percent, to a value equal to US$3.22, and sustained this official exchange rate without additional devaluation despite mounting debt.
In early 1988, the official dinar-dollar exchange rate was still ID1 to US$3.22; however, with estimates of the nation's inflation rate ranging from 25 percent to 50 percent per year in 1985 and 1986, the dinar's real transaction value, or black market exchange rate, was far lower-- only about half the 1986 official rate.
The Iraqi dinar was worth $US3.20 before the United Nations embargo that followed Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait. By August 2002 it was trading at just below 2000 to the US dollar, and by mid-April 2003 it had slipped to anywhere between 3500 and 4000 against the dollar. In July 2003 one US dollar equaled about 1,500 Iraqi dinars.

If any of you have been doubting this dinar RV is true-Read this article from the NY times from 1991.
Kuwait revalued their currency on march 25th 1991.
NY TIMES(Kuwait RV): Published: March 25, 1991
It still has no water and little electricity or food, but Kuwait revived its banking system today, introducing a new currency.
Banks reopened for the first time since Iraqi occupation forces shut them down in December. Thousands of people lined up to exchange their old Kuwaiti dinars for crisp new ones and to withdraw a limited amount of money.
Without electricity, the banks services were slow, limited to money exchange and withdrawal. There was no telex, no electronic money transfer and no telephones. The computers were unusable, so all transactions had to be entered by hand.
"It's like going back 20 years," said Mohammed al-Yahya, the manager of the Commercial Bank of Kuwait, the nation's second-largest bank. Seized Dinars Canceled
The Central Bank is canceling the value of Kuwaiti dinars that were seized from the Central Bank and put into circulation by the Iraqis. The invalid serial numbers were posted today in front of all banks in the city.
All other old dinars can be exchanged for new ones on a one-to-one rate until May 7, when the old dinars become invalid. The new official exchange rate is 3.47 American dollars for one new Kuwaiti dinar.
Although it is severly handicapped without electricity, the Commercial Bank, like many other major banks, was able to open for business because its records had been saved from the Iraqis. Mr. Yahya hid the bank's balance sheets in his home and sent its computer records to London via Syria with an Indian employee, who packed the tapes into the back of a trailer.
The banks also face serious personnel shortages. Only 11 of the Commercial Bank's 35 branches opened today, with 137 out of 1,300 workers.
Before the Iraqi invasion, only 17 percent of the bank's staff was Kuwaiti. Many of the foreign workers -- Jordanians, Palestinians and Indians -- fled and now cannot re-enter the country.
For those exchanging money today, there was little they could buy in Kuwait. Many of those in line said they planned to use their money for vacations or for shopping trips to Saudi Arabia to buy generators and food.
"I need to get away from this pressure," said Abdul Mohammed Hussein, a computer engineer in his early 40's who said he was withdrawing 1,500 new dinars to take a vacation in the United Arab Emirates. "Everywhere you go you find lines. At the supermarket, you find lines. To get petrol for the car, you find lines."
Abdul Hamed al-Atar, a 50-year-old retired Interior Ministry official, said this was the first time he had set foot in a bank since September, and he seemed relieved. "Kuwaits always keep a lot of cash with them," he said as he was handed crisp new piles of money that he stuffed into a small bag. "It's a comfort to have money in my hands."
From March 18, 1975 to January 4, 2003 the dinar was pegged to a weighted currency basket. From January 5, 2003 until May 20, 2007, the pegging was switched to 1 U.S. dollar = 0.29963 dinar with margins of ±3.5%.[2] The central rate translates to approximately 1 dinar = 3.33745 dollars. From June 16, 2007, the Kuwaiti dinar was re-pegged to a basket of currencies,[3] and is now worth about US$3.609 (€2.686). It is the world's highest-valued currency unit

The information in this document is based on the most recent information available. It is not intended to be the authority on the GCR/RV or appointment process.
It is expected that there may be changes once final instructions are received.
This information is based on exchanges/ redemptions done in the USA. Each country will have its own process and information should be available for all once notifications have been issued.
The redemption/exchange process is streamlined and will be easy and straightforward. The appointment will only be about 15-20 minutes. You will be in and out quickly.
The current understanding (and subject to change) is there will be a “Safe Web Link” or 800# sent to those who purchased currency/bonds online with a registered dealer. This would include: Banks, Travelex, Great American Coin or with the aggregating sites (example: Dinar Recaps, Dinar Chronicles et al). Currently there are approximately 2 million email addresses.
Emails should be coming from Wells Fargo, HSBC, Chase, Bank of America and possibly Fifth Third.
If you do not receive an email, the information will be posted on aggregating sites and/or with those who provide RV Intel.
If you receive an email directly, you may forward it to anyone you gifted currency and/or bonds.
If you received as a gift, you may get the email forwarded to you.
Follow the instructions provided in the email.
You may be asked to verify who you are by answering questions based on publicly available information. This process is similar to when you apply online to open a bank account or a loan.
You may be required to electronically sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). Read carefully so you understand what you are agreeing to. The NDA is to protect you. Print a copy for your records and for future reference. At the appointment, you will be signing a paper copy of the NDA.
You may be given an 800# or a unique 800# to schedule an appointment. The number may be to a specific location or you will be giving your Zip Code, to be directed to the closest location.
When you call you may be asked if you have Zim, Currency or both. This is because not all locations will be able to redeem Zim. NEVER say how much you have, and they cannot legally ask.
Remember that bonds (Zim) is redeemed, and Currency is exchanged.
You are free to redeem anywhere inside the United States. You are not required to exchange in your home state. It is recommended that if you live in a small town, that you go far enough from home, so you are not recognized. This is for your safety. There are no restrictions if you want to go to another state. You cannot go to another country to exchange. If you are a US citizen living abroad, check with place of exchange on what options you have available to you.
What to bring to appointment:
2 picture IDs – driver’s license, passport, government ID or anything with your picture
2 recent utility bill statements – this verifies your address
If homeless or no permanent address explain this at appointment.
Social Security card and/or Birth certificate. These may not be necessary, but bring especially if you have no picture ID.
If you have a bank account with a Tier 1 bank (HSBC, Chase, WF, Bank of America) bring your account number and routing number (a blank check will have that info.).
If you have a trust, bring the cover and indemnification pages (notarized pages). You may bring the entire trust, but they should only need copies of those pages.
Currencies/Bonds – Separate by country and denomination, large to small, facing in same direction. Place each currency into a small plastic bag.
If you have a lot of currency, recommend you create a tally sheet of how much of each currency/bond you have.
On day of appointment dress professionally. Do not dress to a point that you are uncomfortable.
Allow yourself plenty of time. Know where you are going and where to park if in a large city/urban area. Do not use Uber or Lyft type services. You might consider hiring a professional security company for transportation if safety is a concern.
Do not share with anyone purpose of your appointment or what you are doing.
Make a list of anything that you need in the first 10 days. Do you have any emergency needs like housing or medical, etc.
If you are redeeming Zim, make a 3-6-month budget. Budget does not include existing debt. Zim proceeds will be placed into a structured payout. Structured payouts take approximately 3 months to set up. By having a budget, you can have funds available for living expenses during that 90-day window.
It is expected that close of appointment that you will receive a debit card with 1-2% of Zim proceeds. Unless you have a large amount of currency you should have access to those funds the same day or within 24-36 hours. Large currency holders may have to put a portion of their funds into a structured payout.
Rates on currencies are based on Street rate, International and Contract rate. Not all currencies have a Contract rate. You can ask if there is one. You will want to know if there are conditions for receiving the contract rate and what they are. *See supplemental information for definitions.
The Redemption Centers will have a default package. This package includes rates, fees, services and benefits/perks. The default rate will be the International rate. If this is agreeable, you simply will follow through on signing all documents.
Leave with copies of all signed documents and any business cards.
Banks are reporting that there will not be time to create a skeleton trust at appointment. If possible, set up appointment for immediately after exchange to meet with a trust attorney or Trust Co. representative to have a trust created. Be prepared to have a unique trust name picked out. Also, who your beneficiaries will be and a successor trustee (person who will take over for you should you not be able to manage duties). Trust name should not be something associated with you directly.
When you get to the actual exchange process:
They will run your currency/bonds through the DE LaRue machine. This machine counts and verifies the authenticity of your currency.
If you do not like what is being offered, you can ask if any portion is negotiable.
You may be asked what you plan to do with funds. If you are redeeming Zim, the expectation is that you would do humanitarian projects, but is not required. At end of this document is a list of projects that you can choose from to support if you wish. (No longer 80/20 requirement on the Zim)
Historically, they have been looking for the following things in projects:
i. Projects are global in nature – start local and grow outward
ii. Job creation
iii. Duration – multigenerational
iv. Improves economy and helps businesses impacted by Covid
The best way to talk about your projects is to explain a problem and then how you want to fix it. Example: Homelessness – want to build safe affordable housing.
Your project should be typed up in a 1-3-page format with bullet points. This just makes it easy for them to read. Attached at end of this document is a cover sheet for your project. A copy of your project write up will be left at Redemption Center.
If you do not like the default package (rates, fees, services and perks) you may be able to request to talk to someone about what you plan to do and why you need something different than being offered. You may be given a Safe Keeping Receipt (SKR). This is where your currency/Bonds are recorded, and you are given the SKR. You will then work with a Trust company and/ or Wealth Manager to assist with negotiations and preparing the needed information.
Discuss what fees they are charging for exchange. It may be that the fees have been calculated in the rates. It is ok to ask if you can negotiate fees. In many cases, you may be further ahead to just pay the fees. This is something you can ask about. The same is true for services and perks.
If all is agreeable, sign and get copies.
Remember that any agreements can be rescinded within 72 hours/3 days by law. You may ask if that time can be extended to allow you time to meet with professionals and to come back and renegotiate in your best interests.
You may want to open a new bank account for each currency and/or bond you are redeeming/ exchanging. These accounts will be under trust account name if you have one.
Each person will be (allegedly) given a US Treasury Account and be in the QFS.
You can take your spouse to appointment or not. You do not want to take anyone who is not familiar with this process as they may end up slowing everything down with too many questions.
Below are some questions to ask and some may not be necessary under the new QFS:
a. Do the funds from each currency/bond need to be in separate accounts?
b. What about fund protection: Does FDIC still apply, or do I need a Lloyds or Cdars Insurance for amounts over $250,000? Is this something they can assist with?
c. I have been told that these transactions are non-taxable, if not, should that not be true, will you provide in writing that I will have access to the funds to pay taxes.
Ask for a full explanation of what the CAP’s and restrictions are and how they work. How are they scaled and what are the benchmarks for restrictions to be removed?
Read everything they give you including the NDA. If you do not understand, ask until you do. OR if you feel you need help, ask if there is an attorney available who can help.
Be respectful – they are not trying to trick you or deceive you.
Discuss Bank Perks – on the private banking side there are perks that you can request. Understand that you will be paying for them. They typically are tiered – so the more AUM (assets under management) you have, the more options you have.
Let them know you are aware that there will be a number of essential tasks to be addressed in the next 10-15 days. Tell them you will be needing help in setting appointments and managing those tasks. Ask if they can provide you with someone who can help.
Below is a list of possible tasks and list of professionals for short term and long term.
a. Establish primary irrevocable trust and any additional trusts or structures. Basic trust components may include:
i. Complex
ii. Non-grantor
iii. Discretionary
iv. Spendthrift
v. Asset protection
b. Meet with Security and Risk management team
c. Wealth Management Team
d. Attorneys and CPAs
e. Establishing short- and long-term priorities
f. Education for self and family – ask what time frame is for completion
There will be a number of decisions that will need to be made post-exchange appointment including meeting with or hiring professionals to assist you. The list below is intended only as a guide.
a. Accounting / Tax
b. Acquisitions
c. Administrative Assistant
d. Art/Advisory Collection

Supplemental Information
Many are new to this and often terms are used incorrectly, switched, or interchanged. It is more important that you understand what terms mean when you get to your appointment.
DEFINITIONS
Tier 1 Bank: Tier 1 banks are those that hold the highest assets. They include: include: HSBC, Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America.
Full-Service Banks: Banks that offer a full range of services including a foreign exchange department. Credit Unions are not usually Full-Service.
Types of Rates:
Front screen/Street Rate: This is the rate you see when you look to purchase or sell currency. The buy rate is higher than the sell rate and the bank always includes a fee. The fee includes the bank portion and the UST portion.
International Rate/ Back Screen/ Default: This is the rate that is used for trading. It is higher than the front screen/street rate. Example: Street rate per million Dong: $1180. International rate: $470,000. To receive international/default rated does require that you sign an NDA. This protects you and the bank.
Contract Rate: This is a rate that is agreed to between countries. Any contract rate is a written agreement between two parties. When you hear “contract rates” associated with the RV, it is often being misused.
Unless you have a written agreement with another, you do not have a contract rate.
If you negotiate for something different than the default, then you will be signing a written agreement and that would be your contract rate.
In the context of the US, it has written agreements with other countries, specifically Iraq and Vietnam.
With Iraq, it is sometimes referred to as “contract for oil”. This is an agreement between governments. The US holds Iraqi Dinar and will receive that contract rate.
Not all currencies have contract rates.
Currently, if you hold Zim, contract rates will not be available. This is because you will receive more from the Zim than you will with a contracted currency rate.
NDA – Non-disclosure agreement
The NDA is a written agreement between two parties that specifies what cannot be disclosed or shared. Usually there is a time limit, 90 days +. As relates to the RV, you are agreeing to not discuss what rate you received for your currency and Zim. The RV transaction is a private transaction. The UST does not want you talking to the public about your private transaction.
If you choose not to sign an NDA, you will go with the public (Tier 5) and will receive Street Rate.
Who can participate? Generally speaking, you can participate in the RV if you are not and have not participated in gangs, legalized crime, murder, human trafficking etc. If you are unsure, make appointment and ask when you get there.
RV Tiers:
T1 = Governments
T2 = Military, those who put this together, groups
T3 = Humanitarian Organizations/Groups and SKR groups
T4 = Internet group – those who follow what is going on with the RV
T4A = Individuals with SKRs, now part of T3
T4B – Individuals, Internet Group
T5 = Public
SKR: Stands for Safe Keeping Receipt. This is where someone who is licensed and authorized to be a Paymaster (usually an attorney) represents a group of currency holders (were originally done prior to Zim being in the offering). They sign a contract and agree to a specified rate. There are not and have not been any new SKR groups for several years.
Prosperity Packages: These cover a very wide area. Includes funds from large trusts such as St. Germain, Rodriguez, Heritage and Mitterrand Trusts will be used to assist the Common Man and help with some debt relief.
Adjudicated Packages: These are lawsuits where plaintiffs won the legal cases. The largest are: CMKX, Native American Claims, Farm Claims, and others. You will know if you are already a part of these.
CMKX: A diamond mine that oversold stock with the help of the SEC. They were sued by key stockholders and won – often referred to as an Adjudicated Package.
Farm Claims: Lawsuit that involved farmers who were unfairly taken advantage of by bankers. They sued and won.
Currency Basket: Originally there were a few baskets with different countries’ currencies revaluing approximately six months apart. There are 22 currencies that are scheduled to go initially.
Once all currency are asset backed, that currency will be exchanged at 1:1 and it will not matter if it is a Mexican Peso or a Dinar. The RV is about creating a level playing field. Not all currency rates will rise in value and some will fall.
List of currencies:
• US
• UK
• Kuwait
• Canada
• Mexico
• Russia
• China
• Venezuela
• Iranian Rial
• IRAQ

While there are numerous ways to prepare for the RV I feel this will assist you in preparation for that most awesome day.
When you see RV in big letters on your favorite currency forum, , or when you hear me scream hallelujah from wherever you are in the world…that is when you will know that glorious day has arrived.
But will you be ready?
Prepare: I realize many of you have done your research on how to invest, donate, and spend your money (Lord knows we have had plenty of time to do that, LOL) but time should also be allocated to how you are going to receive your investment.
Preparation is not a huge task and I believe it is essential.
Many of us have our dinar stuffed in the sock drawer, safe deposit box at the bank, or maybe even locked in the pages of your Bible but when that day arrives for you to exchange your currency there are a few things you should consider. Here are some simple steps and advice…
Give thanks: First and foremost hit your knees!
Keep Quiet: On the day you discover your investment has RV’d your first reaction is to scream with excitement and to tell the world. Think of your safety and your family’s safety first. Handle your affairs as quiet as possible.
Even though this event trumps all events you could ever post on Facebook and Twitter…it is better not to tell anyone about this particular event.
Identification: If you decide to use a bank or your currency trader at time of exchange both are going to ask for 1 to 3 different forms of identification.
Make sure your id’s are current. You will likely use your driver’s license, passport, credit cards, student ID, work ID, and/or a utility bill.
Banking: If you are dealing with small banks, go straight to the VP or upper management. If your bank has a foreign currency exchange department immediately ask for the VP or President of the department.
With larger national banks, go to their Private Banking or equivalent division for customers with great wealth. I think you get the point I amtrying to make…
(Note: Many feel we will be exchanging at designated Redemption Centers instead of banks…..)
If the new exchange rate is considerably higher and you have several dinars to exchange you will be dealing with a high amount of cash in exchange. This step will only move the process along and further protect your asset.
They may have more options when it comes to banking, and have a better grasp of the disclosure and security procedures in the bank.
It would also be beneficial, if you know your banker, to have his/her name and phone number ready in case there is a technical challenge wiring the funds.
If not, have the banks phone number and address readily available…go ahead and log into your contacts in the cell phone.
Also, research your own bank options, banking fees, bank account features, return rates, FDIC insurance, NCUA insurance, etc.
Contingency Plan: Lets say you plan to go to your local bank to exchange your dinar. You find out there is something you are not too familiar with or maybe…they do not offer a currency exchange service.
Do some calling around before you leave to see what services your institution offers. Ask about the rates and if there will be a delay for the money to be deposited into your account.
Take a preventive measure today by writing down a list of banks near your home, next major city, or an adjacent state that you can contact if a problem with your initial bank arises.
Depositing your Cash: Regardless of the method you use to exchange your dinar into dollars you will likely deposit a large sum of funds into a bank account. If you are in the United States banks are required to report to the IRS any single deposit exceeding $9,999.99. This is toidentify potential criminals dealing in fraud, theft, or even terrorism.
Furthermore, funds deposited in the amount of $10,000 or more can be “frozen”by the bank or by the bank on behalf of the IRS if the deposit appears“suspicious”. These frozen funds can by tied up to 10 days or until you can provide valid proof where these funds originated.
There are suggestions on how to avoid your bank account from being frozen but none will guarantee you will not wait to have access to your funds. Banks can hold wired funds, checks and cashier checks until funds are honored by the issuing institution. Much like a second party check each bank has a “clearing”period based on different transaction types
(Note: If we exchange into the new QFS Banking system- these rules may not apply) .
Prior to making the deposit (especially if it is a large deposit) talk with the manager and explain the situation as an investment payout. You may need validation of some kind such as a written statement. This may avoid the IRS from being directly involved and shorten the time frame you will have access to your entire deposited funds.
Please discuss this with your banker, attorney, and/or CPA for further clarification and understanding.
“Walking” out with your money: If you were cashing a check for a few thousand dollars it is likely the banker would place your bills in a zipper bag and let you walk out the door.
However, if you ask to walk out with more….. be prepared to wait.
Banks refrain from having large bulks of cash on hand for security purposes and most transactions are electronic.
However if you desire to have “cash” be prepared to make a request anywhere from 24 to 72 hours prior to your withdrawal in order for the bank to make arrangements.
Trusts, LLC, and Other Legal Entities: There are many ways to suggest how to set up your financial portfolio. Some have suggested to set up a trust(s), some have suggested establishing a LLC. Some just plan on cashing in as a single person.
However you decide to set up your arrangement make sure all of the legal documents are close by so that you can refer to them, if need be.
If you desire to open a bank account under a Trust, LLC, etc. these documents will be required. See bank accounts above.
Be careful of online offers and Dinar forums offering trust advice or assistance. Do you research…you don’t know who these people are..Don’t send anyone funds prior to a thorough investigation. Call the Better Business Bureau for advice.
Wills: I realize this sounds morbid but it is essential. I hate to say it but here is a scenario…you cash in and deposit $1 million in your bank account. On the way out of the bank you do your best impression of the Snoopy dance.
Not watching where you are going you come face to face with a large RV…not revaluation but a recreational vehicle! Your RV came twice that day…first to make you wealthy and the second time to meet your maker. So what happens to your $1 million?
This is why it is essential to draw up a will. Even a simple notarized will is better than nothing. Easy wills are found at places like Office Depot…some are free online as well.
Tax: The ugliest three letters ever made up. But it is something we all will deal with. Don’t try to avoid it as you will find yourself regretting you ever did. Its better to place a certain percentage aside allocated just for taxes and never touch it!
These percentages have been quoted all across the spectrum but whatever you decide to allocate..remind yourself not to spend it till you decide to send that check to Uncle Sam.
My advice would be to look up the phone numbers of local CPA’s, CPA/Tax Attorney’s and have their numbers available to make appointments with them post RV.
Get their advice and reconcile their thoughts. Once you pick someone you are comfortable with he/she can walk you through the needed forms and steps.
Of course, choosing a CPA or a Tax Attorney is not that simple…so keep your ears open for a well-qualified person to handle your taxes.
I understand some are saying their are methods to avoid paying taxes on currency exchange. Listen! Be Smart! Get the advice of a tax professional and don’t end up owing money or perhaps be under investigation.
Don’t be fooled…the IRS follows every transaction at banks so just be cautious and pay your taxes.
Post RV Investments: The only advice I can give you here is to… get advice.
Seek the services of a financial consultant, go to the library, Google everything that comes to mind. I will admit that just about any financial advisor that exists would likely roll of out of his chair in laughter if he heard about this investment pre-RV but I would also place a handsome bet that he or she would want your business when you are in search of advice post-RV.
Do your due diligence before you spend money. Don’t be afraid to get second opinions and ask around.
This kind of blessing will likely never happen like this again so be wise.
Also..Be wary of fellow dinar investors asking you to partner with them in an investment. Just because they are a fellow investor doesn’t mean they have your best interest at heart. Be Smart!
Donations/Tithe: I think it is imperative we should all give back, pass it forward, and donate. But do your homework and give your money o honest charities. It’s shameful to think that people make up fraudulent organizations and never spend donations instead they line their greedy pockets. Give to organizations that are close to your heart.
Tithe to your church. The tax man is going to take a chunk of your wealth you might as well offset the tax man by giving those funds to something meaningful and worthwhile.
Document Everything; This can’t be emphasized enough. If you are fortunate to gain a large sum of wealth remind yourself to treat your accounts appropriately and be careful not to let others mishandle your money.
You may have more money than you ever had before but that doesn’t mean you will always have it. Keep records, bank statements, receipts, contracts, agreements, etc.
If you hire a financial advisor be actively involved with your account and have understanding of what your advisor is doing with your money. Also, be aware of all of the fees advisors charge for their services.
After all how many times have you heard of celebrities discovering they are broke because they trusted someone else with their money?
Debt: When the RV occurs you will have been blessed with a sudden amount of wealth. No matter how small or large the sum of your return find it in yourself to reduce your personal debt.
Pay off the mortgage, pay off the credit cards, pay off the installment loans, pay off the student loans, pay it all off. Stop being a slave to debt and avoid at all costs reentering into a lifestyle of owing a creditor.
(Note: Some beleive there will be a debt Jubilee……if so…great…if not….pay attention)
Pay yourself: There is nothing wrong with spending money on yourself. Take a vacation, buy a car, pay off some bills, go to the mall. Withdraw some “fun”money but take the rest and let the interest and dividends accrue.
Remember to buy smart: Many of us have lived modestly most of our lives and with a sudden amount of cash in the bank your buying potential could be endless. But remember to be smart when making purchases.
Sure you can afford a 10,000 sf house but remember the taxes, utilities, and cost to maintain the home. Sure you can afford a Ferrari, Lamborghini, and a Porsche but remember the maintenance cost associated with these high end cars. Enjoy your wealth…learn to keep it.
Loose Lips, Sinks Ships: Its sad but true…the minute you have money in your bank account will be happy. But if friends and family that are non-dinar investors hear of your recent influx of wealth they are going to want a piece of your pie.
I am sure you are going to want to help your friends and family but do it under your own will and not because of their solicitation. Be quiet and serve your fortune to those with gratitude and need.
Safety: Lets just be honest. There are some cruel people in this world and they will do anything they can to harm you or your family in order to obtain a portion of your wealth.
This refers back to being quiet. Fly under the radar. Live as normal as you can. Enjoy your life but be aware of your surroundings and the people you invite into your life.
Enjoy your life: Money does not buy happiness. Some of the richest people in history were the most miserable. Let the happiness in your life result from living your life right, spending your wealth of time with your family, and being debt free.
Now that you are rich avoid falling into the temptation the desire to become wealthier.
Don’t let money be a driving force in your life. It is perfectly fine to invest and protect your wealth just don’t allow it to consume your life.
These are just a few tips and suggestions. This is my soul my opinion and I am not a financial consultant, CPA, lawyer, and in no capacity have the power to give financial or legal advice however I am a concerned investor that wants all of us to be informed.

MY GUT TELLS ME IT WILL GO MUCH DIFFERENTLY FOR MOST..THESE ARE BROAD GENERALIZED STATEMENTS OF GUIDANCE TO HELP MANY OF THOSE THAT REALLY HAVE NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE OR CONCEPT OF BUSINESS OR BANKING.
JUST BE NEAT AND LOOK LIKE YOU MEANT TO GET DRESSED TO MEET SOMEONE THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE A KIND AND FAVORABLE IMPRESSION OF YOU....ITS JUST A FIRST DATE...NOT THE WEDDING..
JUST BE A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF YOURSELF...NOT SOMEBODY ELSE...BE KIND, PUT A SMILE ON THE INSIDE...AND OUTSIDE. BE YOURSELF...BEING FAKE WONT GET YOU PAID ANY QUICKER OR BETTER IMO
REALLY FEEL THE SMILE ON THE INSIDE..VISUALIZE IT..PRACTICE IT NOW...IT REALLY DOES CHANGE THE ENERGY IN A MEETING....YOU'LL BE FINE.
I WOULD NOT VOLUNTEER TOO MANY DETAILS, IDEAS OR CONCEPTS GENERALLY,
ALL GREAT IDEAS ALWAYS FIND OPPOSITION. A NEUTRAL CONFIDENT STANCE MAY BE WISE. A FRIEND ONCE TOLD ME...."YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL EVERYBODY EVERYTHING YOU KNOW...AND ITS BETTER THAT YOU DONT".
THEY WOULD RATHER HEAR THAT YOU WANT THEM TO TELL "YOU" ABOUT ALL THE PLANS, POSSIBILITIES, STRUCTURES AND OPPORTUNITES THEY MAY PROVIDE. WEALTH MAMAGER'S DONT WANT TO BE TOLD HOW TO DO THIER JOB OR HOW YOU WANT THEM TO DO IT.
ULTIMATELY THEY TRULY JUST WANT YOU TO HAND THEM THE MONEY TO PLUG INTO THEIR EXISTING SYSTEM. ...THATS THE WAY THEY ARE TRAINED AND WHAT THEY ARE GENERALLY USED TO....AND THATS JUST THE REALITY OF THE THING
.
WE WILL BE CALM, CONFIDENT AND SMILING...THEY WILL BE TIRED, DISORIENTED AND ANXIOUS...SURELY WE CAN MEET IN THE MIDDLE SOMEWHERE.
MAYBE A SIMPLE BUT SOMEWHAT AMBIGUOUS REPLY UPON THEIR INQUIRY MAY BE BEST...
"I PLAN TO MAKE MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE AND THEN I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO PROTECT AND GROW MY MONEY FOR GENERATIONS...AND I NEED SOME HELP WITH THAT."
THAT WILL PUSH ALL THE NECESSARY BUTTONS.
AND REMEMBER....IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, ASK, IF YOU DONT GET AN ANSWER YOU CAN UNDERSTAND, ASK SOMEBODY ELSE AND,......IF IT DONT FEEL RIGHT...DONT DO IT

HELLO MR. BANKER, I HAVE IRAQ DINAR, VIETNAM DONG AND ZIMBABWE CURRENCY. I WOULD LIKE TO EXCHANGE...CAN WE DISCUSS THE MOST FAVORABLE RATES AND TERMS, BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, AVAILABLE FOR EACH?
WELL MR BANKER.....I RECEIVED SOME INFORMATION IN THE PAST THAT THERE MAY BE MORE THAN ONE RATE AVAILABLE DEPENDING ON HOW WE EXECUTED THIS EXCHANGE.
IF THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS BESIDE AN EXCHANGE AT THE INTERNATIONAL RATE, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THOSE TERMS AND REQUIREMENTS IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU OR ANY AT THIS BANK.
BE RELAXED, CONFIDENT, FRIENDLY AND PURPOSEFUL
EASY, SIMPLE, HONEST, INFORMED AND DIRECT
DebTarHeelGirl: FREE AND CLEAR LETTERS - This is on my list of to do's.
When speaking to the wealth manager of your financial institution after the GCR exchange, ask for FREE AND CLEAR LETTERS. They should give you 3 if you ask for them but may charge you for additional ones.
You should ask for at least 30 and if they charge PAY FOR IT – it’s a legal doc clearing your monies that your deposits and the giftings thereof are clean and not from illegal activities.
Since the Patriot Act was enacted after 9/11, all monies have to be seasoned. That means that Financial Institutions want to be sure that the funds are not coming from terrorists or drug deals.
Wells Fargo, upon exchanging your currency will have validated where it came from and that the deposit is legal and legitimate with these Free and Clear Letters. When you give funds to ministries and agencies, you want the receiving Financial Institution to know that the gift money you have given to the charity, family or friend has already been "seasoned and is legitimate".
Without the FREE AND CLEAR LETTERS, it may take weeks for the recipient to have the funds cleared for use. That would tie up valuable time and resources.
This also prevents and protects you from saying WHERE and HOW you obtained your funds... Great protection with this document to not violate any agreements to never share how you obtained your wealth.

The Day of Your Appointment- Things To Do
1. Make sure you know where you are going. Arrive early so you can “get yourself together, take a deep breath”.
Do not loiter. If you are too early, stay SECURELY in the general area but not in the bank parking lot!
2. Remember to get in and get the EXCHANGE done, there a lot of other people behind you in line so be thoughtful of their time as well.
You will have time for questions at your second appointment with your new Private Banker/Wealth Manager.
3. Be discrete, be professional, and be alert and aware of your surroundings. BREATHE! Seriously consider hiring security to accompany you to your appointment or bring a trusted friend.
4. Collect business cards from everyone or take their name and phone numbers as well as the location of their regular branch office.
5. Read and Sign the NDA. If it is simple and states you cannot tell anyone except your spouse, lawyer, or CPA (These are the people that need to know how you came about your money for tax purposes) how you came about all of your new found wealth, sign it and move forward with your exchange.
Be prepared to uphold it!
If you break the terms, you could lose your newfound wealth.
If the NDA is more complex and you are not comfortable with it, simply let them know you would like to explore your options with another banking institution. They may or may not waive the NDA.
REMEMBER TO GET A COPY OF THE NDA IF YOU SIGNED IT.
