Retire Smart
Keep It Simple

One of Three Core Principals

Retire Smart

With all the information out there, you may not think it's possible to retire smart and simple.

Deciding where to keep your money is certainly a complicated process. First, determining what type of account you’re going to keep it in, then, deciding all the minute options when it comes to that account.

We May Have the Answer to Retiring Smart

Although all these options and choices can seem complicated, we don’t believe that your retirement strategy necessarily has to be. Products like fixed indexed annuities, or certain life insurance policies, can help. These products can help you retire smart, simple, and safe. Products like these won’t cause your hard-earned savings to be lost in the event of, say, a stock market drop. And when you’re nearing (or in) retirement, protecting your money from the ups and downs of the market becomes crucial.

 

Another thing that annuities and life insurance policies can provide? Guaranteed* income for life. These policies can get you a reasonable rate of return** over time, while still keeping your money safe.

Why Keeping it Simple Matters

Have you already set a date for your retirement? Maybe you only have a rough idea of when you’ll retire. Regardless, as retirement approaches, many people begin watching their finances more closely. If you’re like many retirees, you likely feel overwhelmed. You don’t want to lose your money due to the impact of the stock market, nor do you want to outlive your savings. Additionally, you probably want to leave some money to your loved ones after you are gone. Having to keep such a close eye on your finances to make sure everything is running smoothly could lead to you being too stressed to be able to properly enjoy your retirement. This, in our opinion, is one of the worst things about an overly complicated retirement strategy.

Key Qualities

In our eyes, the most suitable strategies are straightforward and simple. If your retirement strategy requires that you monitor it closely, then it probably isn’t ideal for you. When trying to retire smart and simple, you should look for the following qualities:

01
 You understand where your money is, and how it's generating income for you
02
You're confident that your principal is protected, regardless of
market conditions
03
There's someone you trust to answer your questions and help you come up with your strategy
