Page 181 - Ready Set Retire

Ready. Set. Retire!

No owner of an FIA has ever suffered any losses due to a
company failure, even when many banks and brokerage firms
have failed. Even in the Great Depression, when they couldn’t
get their money anywhere else, people were able to redeem the
cash values of their life insurance. It is the safest place I know
to grow your money.

2. “I DON’T BELIEVE THERE IS ENOUGH HORSEPOWER IN AN
FIA, AND I CAN MAKE MORE IN MUTUAL FUNDS.”

We already know that the best way to grow money is to never
have to make up for a loss, even for one year. Adding interest
every year that has been generated from stock market indices,
or a bond index or the fixed account to the highest amount
you have ever had, minus your voluntary withdrawals will
compete favorably over time with a volatile market that
continuously takes back previously-earned gains.

Some people call the first ten years of this century the “Lost
Decade” because many put up the capital, took the risk and
had nothing to show for it. Not annuity owners! If you had
been in an FIA for the same period of time, the story would
have been much different and better. We have some clients
that doubled, or even tripled their money over that 10 year
period. Did you?
