Step One: Protect your earned income, your cash flow with Disability Insurance. Do this before anything else.  It should be your #1 Priority, period. Your earned INCOME  is your greatest asset. Why? Because without it, there's no way to pay for everything else that's important. Disability Insurance should ALWAYS come before life insurance.  No one dies first, then becomes disabled afterwards. Protect against risks in the order that they happen. 

Step Two: Protect Your Loved Ones with Life Insurance. What if you die before you're ready? Will your family struggle or is their financial future secure? Don't procrastinate when it comes to buying life or disability insurance. Life isn't fair and there are no "do-overs." There are two time bombs if you wait. 1) That you actually die or become disabled without being covered and 2) That your health changes and you no longer qualify medically for coverage. Don't wait.

Step Three: Make sure you are saving enough liquid savings with your local bank. You should have ideally, one full year's income, minimum 6 months, ready to go, at all times. Don't be concerned with interest or rate of return. Focus on security and liquidity FIRST. Too often we see people with very minimal disability insurance, life insurance, or liquid emergency savings, or worse, none at all, instead wanting to invest or save for retirement in 401Ks, IRA, stocks, mutual funds or other speculative investments. This is just bad planning.

Step Four: Save as much as possible for retirement. The only person who will care for you when you are old and tired of working - is YOU. We are all about SAFETY, PROTECTION and GUARANTEES. If that sounds like you, you've come to the right place. If you have a matching 401K, make sure you are putting in what you need to get the full match, but not a penny more. There are other things that make much better sense for any retirement planning dollars after that. We can show you how to create substantial tax-free distributions, with competitive gains and guaranteed ZERO downside risk.

Step Five: Protect and grow your retirement nest egg - make it last. Now it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor and the sacrifices you've made along the way. It's payoff time, the chapter you have been looking forward to. We can show you how to make your retirement dollars last with a guaranteed income for life that you cannot outlive, no matter what. Longevity risk is real and we have answers. We can also show you how to create tax-advantaged income, while maintaining liquidity and growth to offset inflation. We can also show you how to choose the right option from your pension that makes sense.
