In Retirement

Remember, retirement planning is an ongoing journey. Your personal retirement safety net requires regular adjusting to help ensure that you continue to meet your retirement goals while you enjoy the freedom and opportunities retirement brings.

If I want to maintain my quality of life...

With retirement now in full swing, Joe and his wife need to take a closer look at distributions from their retirement savings. They worry that if they withdraw too much now, they could risk spending down their retirement savings too quickly. They also want to make sure their savings continue to grow. Learn how to manage your savings and investments in retirement.

Last year, Joe and his wife made the decision to downsize. They sold their home for a profit and immediately put that money into savings. They are unsure how best to turn that money into a stream of income to help cover their day-to-day expenses, and want to ensure it’s income they can’t outlive. Learn how an income annuity can provide you with income you can count on for life.

Now that Joe’s children have children of their own, he wants to be sure that he and his wife can remain independent for as long as possible. They’re active and take good care of their health. But Joe’s concerned that some day they may need assistance with the daily activities that most people take for granted. Learn why it’s important to think about healthcare and long-term care in retirement.

Providing for my loved ones, no matter what...
When Joe consolidated his retirement assets, he set aside one of his IRAs for his wife. By opting to “stretch” that IRA he hopes to pass the tax-deferred savings on to her at the time of his death. Learn about other steps you can take to provide for your loved ones.

The longer you spend in retirement, the greater the risk you have of outliving your savings. But, you can’t predict how long you’ll need your retirement savings to last. That’s where income that is guaranteed to last your lifetime can help. We’ll show you how an income annuity can be an efficient way to create income now and help cover the risk of running out of income in later years.
