🚨 The imposter is E—“I’ll figure it out!”

Retirement is too important to leave to chance. Building savings is a great start, but you also need a strategy for turning those savings into income, managing healthcare costs and preparing for the unexpected.

Hope isn’t a retirement strategy—but planning ahead can give you greater confidence and more choices.

SPIN THE RETIREMENT WHEEL!

Where will it land?

Market
Healthcare
Longevity
Long-Term Care
Income
Fun

Here’s the catch—you don’t get to choose everything retirement sends your way.

But you CAN prepare for more than one possibility.

A strong retirement strategy shouldn’t depend on everything going perfectly. It should consider your income, healthcare needs, longevity, long-term care and the unexpected—while still leaving room for fun!

You can’t control where the wheel lands, but you can create a plan designed for the possibilities.

Let’s make sure your retirement strategy covers more than one piece of the wheel.

DOOR #2—LONG-TERM CARE

The need for extended care can affect more than your savings—it can impact your spouse, your adult children and the choices available to your entire family.

Planning ahead can give you more options, greater control and added peace of mind if that day ever comes.

The best time to create a plan is before your family needs one.

RETIREMENT TRUE OR FALSE?

“Medicare pays for everything once I turn 65.”

🟢 TRUE
🔴 FALSE

🔴 FALSE!

Turning 65 doesn’t mean every healthcare cost suddenly disappears.

Medicare helps cover many healthcare needs—but premiums, deductibles, copays, coinsurance, prescription costs and services that aren’t covered may still leave you with bills to pay.

The wrong assumption today could lead to an expensive surprise tomorrow.

Don’t simply enroll and hope for the best. Understand your coverage, know your potential costs and make Medicare part of your complete retirement strategy.

CAN YOU SOLVE THE RETIREMENT EQUATION?

Savings + Longer Life + Monthly Bills = ❓

What’s missing?

The answer: A retirement income strategy.

Saving money is only one part of retirement planning. The next step is determining how to turn what you’ve built into income designed to support you throughout retirement.

Certain annuities can provide guaranteed lifetime income, subject to the terms of the contract.

The goal isn’t simply to save for retirement—it’s to create income that can last throughout it.

RETIREMENT TRIVIA!

Which retirement expense is affected by changes to your health, prescriptions and coverage?

A. Groceries
B. Healthcare
C. Vacation
D. Golf

🔎 The answer is B—Healthcare!

Premiums, prescriptions, copays and other out-of-pocket healthcare costs can change throughout retirement.

That’s why your Medicare coverage shouldn’t be something you choose once and forget. Regular reviews can help ensure your coverage continues to fit your health, needs and budget.
