Daily IQ Retirement Brief 11/25/22

Winning in retirement, at least financially, is a matter of priorities. Some folks want to double their money, regardless of the risk. They think “TALL” with their money. Others want to leave more for heirs. They also think “TALL” with their money.  But a new type of retiree has emerged in recent years. They don’t seek untold wealth or making their kids rich, as much as they seek true  financial independence for the rest of their lives. They want their “in-COME”  to exceed their  “out-GO” for as long as they live. That makes retiring on today's bonds an impossibility. With ten year treasury's yielding less than one percent, a new type of safe retirement asset  paying significantly more income is needed. As a result of  advanced annuity engineering the past five years , a  NEXT GENERATION retirement annuity has emerged paying higher income with a high degree of safety. In addition-- it may benefit from market increases with no market losses and no cap. We'll explain in detail and then Medicare expert Shelley Grandidge joins us.  A fact filled show you don't want to miss...MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!!
