Much is made of the need to save and invest for your financial future. The typical path most of us take to save is by participating in a company 401(k)/pension plan, or possibly the old standby of contributing to an IRA. Some may even purchase and maintain rental properties for income. The next step is creating an elaborate estate plan coupled with a strategy for growing and protecting the wealth we have obtained because we know it is critical to creating a successful retirement and personal legacy.
Unfortunately, not a lot of thought is given to creating a strategy on how to effectively use the retirement assets once we reach those latter stages of life. Most IRA accounts just sit idle until retirement when the accountholders will drawdown their retirement accounts in large chunks. Chunks that will pay off a mortgage, take an extended vacation, make a large purchase, or assist a family member. And, when the retirement account is depleted, so is the income producing potential of that account. Creating a retirement strategy that allows you to live comfortably from the interests/dividends derived from the capital amassed will ensure that those diligently accumulated assets, will last a lifetime and leave a legacy for the ones we care about.

- Pay for medical insurance before Medicare kicks in at 65
- Supplement other sources of retirement income such as Social Security and Pensions
- Protect and preserve hard-earned capital, while enjoying the fruits of their savings
- Need for fixed income investments, rather than equity investments
