BlackRock Research – A case for Fixed Index Annuities

  • Incredible piece talking about the importance of FIAs in a retirees portfolio

It Isn’t Just Tom Brady—More People Are Coming Out of Retirement

  • Solid article to enhance your value of what you do. A lot of these people should not be going back to work if they have a retirement plan!
  • “Millions of U.S. workers retired during the pandemic. Now many are returning to work at rates not seen since 2020.”
  • “Many older workers who made early exits from the workforce after losing jobs or finding themselves unable to work in the early months of the pandemic have retired mostly because they haven’t been able to find suitable work since. Researchers say that is especially the case among those who did manual work, such as truck driving, hospitality or in cleaning services.”

How Much More Will You Spend in Retirement Than Expected? My Rule: $400 a Month

  • Great article to share with prospects and clients prior to meeting with you.
  • “Yes, surprises are part of life, and budgets always need wiggle room. But in preparing for retirement, I had never seen or heard a specific figure about just how much wiggle room my particular budget might need. Hence, my retirement “rule”: When you have finished estimating your annual expenses in later life—add about $5,000. That total should be closer to what you’ll actually need.”

  • I know I share Cody’s podcast on here a lot, but the value just keeps coming! Too good not to share.
