CLAIM YOUR POWER TODAY...
Everyday life offers you different channels of power that YOU have over your life. This is a fast paced world and everything is constantly changing around us. Decision making isn't 'cut and dry' anymore. It is a weighing in or factoring in 'what the outcome' is going to look like based on your decisions.
The advantages or 'disadvantages', however you choose to look at it, of technology allows us 'what once was rare' now is 'the norm' to always be just a finger-search away from any query that we might have that can aide in making a sound decision. Life has become a whirlwind of changing circumstances in our daily lives, in personal and business relationships, socially and in the desire toward healthier lifestyles.
No matter which generation you are a member of ...Traditionalists, Baby Boomer, Millennial, Gen-X, all of us are being tested on the Faith we have to be able to withstand life's challenges to obtain that ultimate goal. We all have within us the Faith, determination, and common sense, which, by the way, is always being tested by 'life exercising it's power' of circumstantial change. Take a close look at how changing for retirement has shifted over the tides of
life. The Traditionalists generation had the security of Social Security and Pensions for sustaining them through their retirement years. The Baby Boomers have a smorgasbord of Social Security, Pensions and 401(k) plans, and Non-Qualified savings plans like Fixed and Fixed Indexed Annuities, FUIL and Whole Life Insurance to sustain them through their retirement years.
Pensions are becoming more and more a thing of the past with increasing State and City debt crisis. It's reported that "CalPERS has about $100 billion dollars less than it needs to fund current and future obligations." Not too long ago (2016) USA Today featured an article 'Dupont to end pension contributions to active employees". Millennials and Gen-X will have an entirely different retirement portfolio than the Traditionalists and Baby Boomer
generations. The good news is they can create pension like incomes through life insurance products like Fixed and Fixed Indexed Annuities, and supplemental income can be provided through FIUL and Whole Life insurance contracts.
So, what's the outcome? We adapt, make mid-cycle corrections, if need be and through these adaptations we become more insightful and mature.
Many run from the power to make life's decisions and take refuge while others take advantage of technological instruments to dive deeper to find just the right information that fuels their decision to move forward towards the goal.
Life does not stand still, now is the time to claim your power to change and grow. Set goals, and start executing a plan to reach your objectives. Monitor your progress, making any necessary adjustments on a timely basis. You'll find through this will arise a new maturity and insight towards reaching your retirement goals.
Everyone, by the way, wants the same end goal in life for their retirement ...to be happy, to live the lifestyle they want, and to be able to pay the expenses to support heir chosen lifestyle.
Simply being told to buy financial products is not planning! A financial professional who does not take the time to help you create a plan before selling you products is not doing you any favor!
The empowering factor to obtain this goal is 'planning'. Planning is the one common ingredient in successful ventures. It would be difficult to find one thriving business that does as little planning as the average family! If you find one you are very lucky. Do you want to rely on luck for your future? If so, the lottery awaits you. If not, financial planning awaits you!
So I challenge you to go - .Claim your power today, and start planning for the secure retirement of your dreams and one where your money will always outlive you.
