Do THIS if You Want To Retire EARLY!
The fear of outliving retirement savings is one of the most common concerns we hear from clients. Quite frankly, we completely understand why.
We’re living longer than ever. Inflation continues to rise. And markets? Well, they’ve been anything but predictable. If your retirement plan relies solely on a 401(k) or IRA, you might already be feeling that sense of uncertainty, wondering if your money will truly last through your 80s or even 90s.
Meanwhile, folks who retired with traditional pensions—teachers, first responders, government employees—often don’t have that same level of anxiety. Why? Because their income is guaranteed for life.
Now, here’s the good news: You don’t need to work for the government to get pension-like income in retirement. There’s a modern solution called a “hybrid pension”—and it could change the way you think about retirement planning.
What Is a Hybrid Pension?
Let me be clear—this is not a [link] traditional annuity [link] that locks up your money forever. And we’re not suggesting you hand over your life savings to an insurance company and lose control—quite the opposite.
A hybrid pension gives you:
- Guaranteed lifetime income
- Complete control of your principal
- The ability to pass unused funds to your beneficiaries
- Tax-deferred growth inside qualified accounts
Hybrid pensions are not a traditional annuity that locks up your money forever.
Think of it like this: You place a portion of your retirement savings—your 401(k), IRA, or even bank savings—into a protected account with an income rider attached. That rider acts like an umbrella policy—it guarantees you a lifetime paycheck, even if your account value goes to zero.
And if something changes? You’re not stuck. You can cash out, change direction, or leave the balance to your family.
Here’s What Makes Hybrid Pensions Work
- You stay in control of your money.
- You never have to annuitize (lock up your funds permanently).
- You can start with a guaranteed payout as high as 6–14%, depending on age and provider.
- The earlier you set it up and defer income, the more you can expect to receive later.
- Your income is guaranteed for life, no matter how long you live or what the markets do.
Traditional Annuities Shortfalls
Not all income solutions are created equal. Some annuities out there have:
- High internal fees (especially variable annuities)
- Complex caps and participation rates
- Long surrender periods and limited flexibility
For these reasons, it’s so important to work with someone who knows how to design a strategy that aligns with your goals, rather than just selling a product. We don’t manage stocks or mutual funds, and we’re not here to replace your financial advisor. What we offer is complementary: secure income planning that works alongside your investments.
