Now That Its Here
When you’re still saving for retirement, most people can tolerate more risk. This is because you generally have time on your side. However, once retirement arrives, things change. Your strategy needs to change, too. In fact, in this stage, most people begin to focus on protecting the savings they have. The priority is making sure their money will last their lifetime. Thankfully, there are options for keeping your principal protected. Also, you may want the option of leaving some of your wealth to your loved ones without a large tax consequence. By working with our team, you can learn about possibilities for leaving a legacy as well.

Protection First
When Devin was young, he watched his grandfather scrimp and save every penny he could. Indeed, he knew the value of the dollar and he wasn’t about to waste it. Fast forward to 2008/2009, and the stock market hit his grandfather’s wealth hard. The accounts dropped nearly 50%. It was at that moment that Devin decided to dedicate his career to helping people protect their hard-earned life savings. At Choules Financial, protection is key.
When you’re near retirement, you need a strategy that protects some of your assets. For example, retirees with money in fixed index annuities or in max cash value life insurance don’t need to worry about their principal. Instead of being at the mercy of the market, the money is protected by the issuing insurance company. Additionally, some available options allow you to take an income that adjusts for inflation. Importantly, with these types of products, you don’t lose money if the market drops. In fact, you may be able to obtain a reasonable rate of return** on your money over time while protecting your nest egg from dropping.
A good retirement specialist can show you how to protect your principal while earning a reasonable return** over time.Â
