Checkbook

Knowing how much money hits your bank account every month is a critical part of staying retired. It’s vital that you have enough money to take care of your daily needs, housing, medical bills, long-term care, and any other unexpected expenses that come your way.

Calendar

If you’re retired, chances are you know the exact day — even the hour — your check hits the account. This sigh of relief you breathe as you confirm that money is added to your account is worth far more than the money itself.

Clock

When we talk about the clock, we are referring to how long that guaranteed income will keep coming in. While pensions and Social Security may provide some security and guaranteed income, the question we want to pose is this... why not do more of it?

Earn More, Breathe Easier & Enjoy Your Retirement To Its Fullest

The nationally recognized experts at Income For Life bring real retirement solutions to the table so you can breathe easy and enjoy your retirement in the way you’ve always envisioned.

However, when you’re retired, the paychecks you receive from your job stop, which can cause great feelings of instability, even for those who’ve been retired for years. And with Social Security’s sustainability in hot debate, the state of your retirement has become even more unnerving.

GAINING CONFIDENCE IN YOUR RETIREMENT FUTURE

With guaranteed income, you know exactly when you can take that trip you’ve been wanting to.

Lose your money safely
CD accounts pay around 1% a year, on average. However, the rate of inflation increases at a rate of 2.68%. At this rate, you’re actually losing money over time. At IFL, we jokingly call this a “moonwalk account” because although it appears as if you’re going forward, you’re actually moving backward!

The stress of volatility
VThe truth is CD rates aren’t as consistent as you’d like to think. We’re happy to show you charts showing the true volatility of CD rates over the past 50 years.

Low level of guaranteed income
Conservatively speaking, a retiree with $1,000,000 in different types of bank vehicles might see an income of $10,000 - $30,000 annually.

Extreme stress due to extreme volatility 
While the market generally has a 10-12% rate of return per year, that average may not necessarily be true for you.  In fact, the shortest “down cycle” of the Dow Jones was 17 years!

You become a pension manager
The Wall Street myth of buying and holding securities long-term for 10% gain goes out the window if you are taking out considerable portions yearly for retirement. In fact the AARP recommends only a 4% withdrawal rate.

Mid level of high-risk income 
Assuming the markets are up for a long term period, using the AARP’s rule of 4% would get you roughly $40,000 a year on an account valued at $1,000,000.

True security for retirees
Unlike other financial vehicles, only annuities can guarantee retirement income for the rest of your life.

Have someone else take responsibility for pension management
Insurance companies are experts at managing risk and have done a fantastic job managing pension style incomes for over 100 years.

High return and guaranteed retirement income
With a $1,000,000 investment, and a rate of return that’s as high as 6%-8%, you could be looking at a guaranteed income of $60,000 to $80,000 a year  — potentially 50% or more than the Bank or Wall Street way!
