In this week’s post, I challenge a common misconception: that retirement success is about chasing returns. It’s not. Retirement is about income you can count on — not just growth.

I break down why market-based strategies alone can leave retirees vulnerable and how combining them with guaranteed income sources can create a smoother, more secure path. If you’re nearing retirement, this is a must-read.

he Top 5 Benefits of the New Long-Term Care Insurance (With Tax-Free Legacy Potential)

Let's face it—discussing long-term care (LTC) isn't the most thrilling topic. However, with nearly 70% of couples expected to need some form of LTC during retirement, it's a conversation we can't afford to avoid.

In my latest blog post, I delve into the shortcomings of traditional LTC insurance—think high costs, complex reimbursement rules, and the dreaded "use it or lose it" dilemma. Then, I introduce the new generation of LTC insurance options that not only address these issues but also offer the potential to leave a tax-free legacy for your loved ones.

If you're planning for retirement and want to ensure both your care and your family's financial future are secure, this read is for you.
