Publisher's Synopsis
The retirement deck is stacked against you. Between the demise of the traditional pension system, the shaky foundation of Social Security, the utter train wreck of the stock market, and the lackluster returns on fixed-rate investments, seniors are struggling to accumulate enough to live on in retirement, especially as they are living much longer than ever.Today's retirement system is broken, and it's only going to get worse. But there is hope. There is a way to earn solid returns on your savings without risking your money in the foolish gamble of the stock market. And there is a way to avoid losing what you've worked hard to accumulate without settling for paltry returns that are less than the rate of inflation. Financial professional Lance Riddle calls this solution your "Retirement Ace in the Hole." It's an alternative to risking your savings in the stock market. It's also a better choice than playing it so safe you earn nothing. It's Your Best Bet for a Secure Retirement. The author of Tax-Free Millionaire, Riddle has written his second book, Your Best Bet for a Secure Retirement to help retirees and those nearing retirement to understand the value of indexed annuities. Using real life examples, Riddle shows the power of this unique financial product. He explains how they provide financial flexibility you can't find anywhere else. He illustrates how an indexed annuity's guarantees, tax-deferred growth, and optional features can help retirees solidify their retirement plans including guaranteed lifetime income.Riddle also instructs readers to roll over the assets they have in their IRAs and 401(k)s into indexed annuities. The book shows the harsh realities of what can happen if retirement assets are depleted by market declines at the same time retirees are withdrawing money to live on in retirement. After reading Your Best Bet for a Secure Retirement, you will be convinced that indexed annuities are indeed your best bet, because you're not actually gambling anything with indexed annuities.
