When United Health took away all but our preventative dental care (they offered a separate policy that made no economic sense) we explored traditional Medicare with a Medigap policy. Rob walked us through the process and helped make it easy. After putting a pencil to it, while our out-of-pocket costs increased, I am convinced, for the long term this move makes a great deal of sense. Rob connected us with Cigna, and while the jury is still out on how well they work, the process, while bumpy, resulted in a Plan G (Indiana) Medigap policy, a Dental/Vision/Eye policy, and a Plan D policy. We appreciate Rob's diligence in bringing all of this together.

What role do annuities play in retirement planning?
Answer: Imagine having a reliable stream of income flowing in during your retirement. That's the magic of annuities! You can purchase an annuity with a lump sum or through regular payments, and it can provide a guaranteed income stream throughout your retirement. Some annuities even offer lifetime income, meaning you'll receive regular payments no matter how long you live. This can be a game-changer for supplementing Social Security and other retirement income, allowing you to live comfortably and worry-free.
How does life insurance contribute to financial planning?
Answer: Life insurance acts as a financial safety net for your loved ones if you're no longer around.
