Our Immediate Income Story

Finding Our Personal Path to Retirement

After my wife and I turned 65, we decided it was time to get serious about planning for retirement. I have been able to accumulate $300,000 in my 401(k), and my wife has been saving as well. Although we've done a good job budgeting and setting money aside for retirement, I knew that we would still need supplemental income once our paychecks stopped.

I decided to visit Income Solutions® to learn how we could create a paycheck for life. We chose to purchase a Joint Annuity for $200,000 that would start providing $886 per month as soon as I retire, and last for both of our lifetimes.

Enjoying Peace of Mind

By using only a portion of my 401(k), we were able to cover our baseline expenses and still have money left over to invest or cover any unexpected expenses. We no longer have to worry about having enough income to last throughout retirement, and can spend our time focusing on what's important to us, which is spending more time with our grandkids.
