The Bill Murray 'Low'-down on personal finance - WalletPop (blog)

Posted: 28 Apr 2010 12:42 PM PDT

Filed under: Extracurriculars, In the News

Bill Murray talks personal financeBill Murray handles money matters without handlers. He and his agent parted company years ago. He has no manager. In Hollywood, that's as rare as an Upper East Side matron firing the butler and chauffeur so she can dust and drive.

Murray explained this week that when he had an agent, the agent's assistants would call him and refuse to hang up. "Why would I ever want to talk to anyone who would let the phone ring 90 times?" he told WalletPop and other outlets during a Tribeca Film Festival interview for "Get Low."

Murray, 59, also turns his schnoz up at written agreements. "I'm not signing a contract," the "Ghostbusters" and "Lost in Translation" star said. "My word is my word. I'm showing up for work."


Try that at your new firm. "Get Low" producer Dean Zanuck wasn't so crazy about the idea either. He began to squirm when the indie film's main investor agreed to fork over $5.5 million of the $7.5 million budget, but requested a deal with Murray's John Hancock on it. Zanuck had used Murray's name to lure backers after the former "Saturday Night Live" Prime Time Player had left him a message out of the blue that he was interested. Zanuck told the investor that Murray was superstitious about contracts.

"We were in so deep at this point," Zanuck said. "We started to see that if he didn't do the movie, it was going to fall apart."

Turns out Murray wasn't superstitious at all. Just different. He poked fun at "bureaucrats" ordering him to sign contracts. After six months of sparse communication via snail mail to Murray's PO Box and the occasional call with an intermediary in Los Angeles, Zanuck got his wish. Murray showed up on the set.

In "Get Low," Murray plays an alkie funeral director who helps the town's bitter outcast (Robert Duvall) plan his own service with one catch: the outcast plans to be alive at the ceremony. The request is unorthodox but a wad of cash convinces Murray's Frank Quinn to give the man what he wants.

As for the offscreen Murray's philosophy about financial gain, he said that whether a movie generates box office is out of his control. "I'm just gonna do the ones I like and something's gonna hit," he said.

Wednesday's Personal Finance stories - Marketwatch

Don't miss these top stories:

Because of the tax advantages you get from saving money in an IRA, the government doesn't want you grabbing for that cash every time you're coming up short, which more and more people are doing each month these days. So there is a hefty penalty if you withdraw any of those funds before you turn 59 1/2.

Under normal circumstances, that extra 10% that you'll have to pay in addition to regular income tax on any draw is enough to bring you to your senses and halt any plans at raiding the nest egg. But these are not normal circumstances.

There is, however, one loophole in the IRA laws that allows you to withdraw money and not pay the penalty: You can take cash out in what's called substantially equal payments, monthly stipends that are determined by a formula that depends upon your age and life expectancy, among other items.

It's a rough road to navigate, and you'll still be putting your retirement at risk, but if you have no other choice it is a lifeline.

-- Steve Kerch, assistant managing editor

RETIREMENT SAVINGS

Tap retirement savings early without penalty

For many older workers the recession has been especially tough. Salaries and benefits have been cut, insurance costs have risen. That slimmer paycheck isn't going as far as it once did. But there is one little known, if troublesome, way that some older workers might be able to make up some of the shortfall: You can tap into your nest egg a bit early.

INVESTING

Goldman Sachs and the everyday investor

The Goldman Sachs hearing is more than political theater, says one expert who sees the entire Goldman Sachs investigation as a much-needed balm for investor confidence. Hear John Wordock's conversation with St. John's business law professor Anthony Sabino, in this edition of MarketWatch News Break.
