The "Average Return" Trap: Why Your 401(k) Could Fail You When You Need It Most

We are conditioned to believe that if the stock market averages an 8% to 10% return over time, our retirement is safe. But you don't spend "averages" in retirement. You spend real dollars in real time.

If a market crash hits the year you retire, taking withdrawals while your account is down can permanently cripple your life savings. It is called Sequence of Returns Risk, and it is the fastest way to run out of money in retirement.

But what if you could participate in the market's upside without ever riding the downward rollercoaster?

This is where Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policies and Fixed Indexed Annuities change the game. They operate with a strict 0% floor. That means your account value will never decrease due to market performance. If the market drops 20%, you lose nothing. Your money stays flat, locked in and protected, waiting for the market to recover so you can capture the next wave of growth.

You trade the risk of devastating losses for the security of a guaranteed foundation.

If you don't know what your retirement savings is going to look like, as actual after-tax income to spend compared to your retirement expenses, you can find out now.

The time to make sure you can afford retirement and see how long your money will last is now, while you still have time to make any needed changes.
