ESTATE PLANNING AND PRESERVATION
Most pension plans are extinct.
Do you work for a company that provides those benefits?
If you do, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. It is extremely expensive for companies to offer such benefits to their employees and those who can't usually feel pretty bad. It is not that they don't want to it, it is just that they cannot afford it and still pay salaries and keep the lights on.
If you like your career and are in that situation then you need to get going on self-funding your retirement. Give us a call, make (and keep an appointment) and move forward into the real world of "saving for YOUR retirement". It is the best investment in your future that you will make.
Call us today 517-655-7879
If you're looking for options for your retirement give us a call, we can help you get the answers you're looking for and create a plan for your retirement!!
