August 3, 2021
So happy that Tom Hegna joined me for Fun With Annuities episode #68. Tom is an expert on all things concerning retirement and retirement income. Together, we turn on a firehose of factual information on retirement and how annuities can properly be a part of your plan. He is an author, economist, and sought-after speaker. For the details and links pop down to his breif bio below.
Tom & I jumped into his 7 STEPS TO RETIREMENT and talked about addressing current and future inflation. Tom specializes in creating straightforward and powerful retirement solutions solely based on math and science NOT opinions or sales pitches. Sound familiar? We see eye to eye on dealing facts to build your retirement and living the reality, not the dream.
Tom hit us with this nugget, “They found that the happiest people in retirement were those people who were surrounded by their families and friends, and had guaranteed paychecks every single month."
We also discussed the current interest rate environment and solid retirement income strategies that Tom recommends. Hit play, player.
