Retirement Can Feel Like a High Wire Act.
We Provide the Net.

Brad Raschke understands that the first day of retirement can feel like stepping onto a high wire with no net. After a decade helping more than 500 families handoff their legacy, he’s learned that the real threat isn’t market crashes alone—it’s unmanaged taxes, clumsy trusts, and sequence-of-returns risk draining accounts just when withdrawals begin.

Grounded in Austrian-economics skepticism of centralized money and armed with the Nelson Nash Institute’s liquidity tools, Brad built 1322 Legacy Strategies so retirees wouldn’t have to choose between growth and control.

Brad’s team combines advanced tax mapping, trust coordination, and—where appropriate—private-contract cash-value policies to:

  • Reduce Required Minimum Distributions by up to 40% through strategic Roth conversions.
  • Create “permission slips” for higher lifestyle spending by adding guaranteed income floors.
  • Ensure heirs inherit clean entities, not probate nightmares.

Client Success Stories

Real families, measurable wins, faith-aligned planning.

The Sequence-Proof Couple

Age 67 & 65 · $2.1 M in 401(k)/IRA assets

“Brad’s tax map and partial Roth ladder trimmed $408,000 off our future RMD bill. A joint-life income annuity now covers the Social Security gap so we can delay both benefits to age 70...”

The Business-Exit Safety Valve

HVAC owner (64) selling for $4 M

“Brad paired an installment sale with a charitable remainder trust and an IBC liquidity pool. Result: zero capital-gain panic, a self-funded LTC plan, and we tripled our giving capacity.”

From Red to Green Scorecard

Chris & Sarah (TX) · $1 M pre-tax, no LTC, no trust

“Our scorecard was bleeding red. Twelve months later, proactive tax moves and legacy life insurance transformed our estate to $2.3 M of protected, stewarded wealth. We finally feel bullet-proof.”

Your numbers will differ, but the process is the same: data-driven insight, faith-aligned strategy, lasting legacy.

The Stewardship Thread

Brad’s stewardship worldview was forged watching his grandfather quietly fund nine grandchildren’s college educations and plant ministries. Today Brad channels that legacy by freeing retirees from avoidable taxes and interest so they can fund life-giving causes—whether that’s a first-generation college grad or a global mission.

“Every dollar we keep out of the IRS’s pocket and Wall Street’s fees is a dollar that can bless a grandchild or feed a village.”
