When thinking about wealth management and retirement, one fundamental questions to ask yourself is: is my retirement plan setup to meet my short term as well as my long term income needs? Perhaps you’re thinking of buying a new home for retirement–that would be an example of a short-term income need. But as you age, you might also be concerned about medical bills in the future. Both of these are important for your retirement, and as such, it’s critical to give both requirements equal consideration.

One way to help ensure your income stream is with an annuity. Annuities can offer a guaranteed income stream for a set window of time or even for as long as you live.
