When The Stock Market Dives, Annuities Thrive

Retirement Doomsday

If you were going to retire in 2008, you got a horrible wake-up call if your money was in stocks, bonds, or even real estate. It was one of the few times in history that almost every asset class went into the tank simultaneously. Unfortunately, retirees had to keep working, retire at a different level of income and lifestyle, or they ended up getting another job to supplement their income. As the stock market comes tumbling down, your broker says, "be patient, it will come back, just not right away". The only thing going up in your life during these times is your blood pressure.

Smart Retirement Choices

When you have a Fixed Indexed Annuity, you have a unique tool in that it is built for the long haul.

It looks pretty good getting you there too. Love that old Mercedes.
