How the SureWealth Way Provides Predictable Retirement Income

The biggest fear for most retirees isn’t death—it’s running out of money. With market volatility threatening traditional retirement accounts and historically low interest rates making it difficult to generate income from savings, many Americans wonder if a secure retirement is even possible.

The SureWealth Way offers a different approach. Instead of hoping the stock market will provide for your retirement, we use time-tested strategies that deliver predictable, guaranteed income. Here’s how we help clients create retirement security without market risk.

The Problem: Why Traditional Retirement Planning Falls Short

Traditional financial advisors typically recommend:

• Maximizing 401(k) contributions
• Investing heavily in stocks and bonds
• Following the “4% withdrawal rule”
• Hoping markets perform well enough

This approach has critical flaws:

1. Market Dependency

When your retirement depends on stock market performance, you’re essentially gambling with your future. Recent history shows how devastating market crashes can be for retirees:

• 2008 Financial Crisis: Many retirees lost 40-50% of their savings
• 2020 Pandemic Crash: Portfolios dropped over 30% in weeks
• 2022 Market Decline: Combined stock and bond losses exceeded 15%

2. Sequence of Returns Risk

Even if markets average good returns over time, retiring just before a major downturn can permanently damage your retirement income potential. This “sequence of returns risk” has forced many retirees back to work.

3. Tax Uncertainty

Traditional retirement accounts face:

• Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) forcing taxable withdrawals
• Potential future tax rate increases
• Social Security benefit taxation

The SureWealth Solution: Building Predictable Income

Instead of leaving your retirement to chance, the SureWealth Way creates reliable income through three core strategies:

1. Guaranteed Growth Contracts

We utilize specially designed financial contracts that offer:

• Guaranteed minimum growth rates
• Protection from market losses
• Optional inflation protection
• Tax-advantaged growth and income

These contracts can provide pension-like income that you cannot outlive, regardless of market conditions.

2. Dividend-Paying Whole Life Insurance

Unlike term insurance that expires worthless, properly structured whole life insurance provides multiple retirement benefits:

• Guaranteed cash value growth
• Tax-free access to funds through policy loans
• Annual dividends for additional growth
• Death benefit protection for surviving spouse

This strategy serves as both a retirement income source and a legacy planning tool.

3. Secured Private Lending

We help clients become the bank through:

• Real estate-backed mortgage notes
• Private lending opportunities
• Secured business loans
• Other collateralized investments

These investments provide reliable monthly income without stock market correlation.
