Gwen's story

​Retirement distribution member profile

My top financial concern right now is affording the things in life I like to do (trips and doing fun things with my grandchildren). I want to make sure I don't outlive my money.

"My members work hard to save. I help make sure those savings are safe and available when needed. I want them to be able to maintain the kind of lifestyle they want. When it came time for Gwen to start taking retirement distributions, we talked about the options available – from immediate annuities to securities products. She liked the guaranteed, steady income an immediate annuity could provide. We also made sure she had other investments for emergencies."

"Your business is an important part of your life. You need to take the same care in planning for potential situations for your business that you would take for your family. If you don’t, those potential situations could affect both your business and your family."

"In case of death, Larry and Heather wanted to make sure they were taking care of each other and their children. And they wanted to make sure Ace Auto and their employees’ jobs would still exist. We took care of both of these concerns with the proper types of life insurance plans."
