Retirement

Did you know that 39% of U.S. adults have no retirement savings, and the average 401(k) for those over 55 is just $70,000—while retirees spend $50,000 annually? First responders often retire early, around 55, leaving less time to save and more years to fund. Don’t let financial stress overshadow your well-earned retirement. Protect your future—start planning today!

Investing

Investing in a volatile market can offer significant rewards but comes with real risks. Volatility means prices can swing wildly; for example, the S&P 500 dropped 19% in 2022 before rebounding 24% in 2023. Without a strategic approach, you risk losing a chunk of your nest egg at a critical time. Invest wisely, retire securely!

Estate Planning

After dedicating your life to protecting others, ensure your loved ones are safeguarded too. Without a proper plan, your assets could be tied up in probate, leaving your family with delays and stress during an already difficult time. For first responders, who face higher on-the-job risks, having a clear estate plan—covering wills, trusts, and healthcare directives—ensures your legacy is secure and your family is cared for, no matter what. Plan today for their tomorrow!
