U.S. Representative, Glen ‘GT’ Thompson

The following is an excerpt from U.S. Representative Glen “GT” Thompson, who will be featured on this weeks radio show, regarding the current health care debate. As a proponent of pulling back the curtain on the issues that matter to you, I thought it would be prudent to offer some insight to this issue.
Headline in The New York Times: “Public Option Push in Senate Comes With Escape Hatch.” I read that and thought, “Why have the Democrats crafted their health care reform in this manner? Why would they need an ‘escape hatch’?”
Retirement Income
10/19/2009 by
For this post I’m using an article that I wrote for the Town & Gown’s Guide to Financial Services, regarding our income for life strategy. Enjoy!
Recent studies have shown that the traditional retirement strategies of pulling a percentage off a brokerage account may be flawed. According to one study, stock and bond only strategies preserved the original value in just 45% of the cases, while “Income for Life” strategies preserved the original value in 93% of the cases. Paul Nichols, the president of Financial Abundance a registered investment advisor and estate planning firm in State College, compares traditional retirement strategies to the “Income for Life” strategy.
