🏗️ Step 1: Begin with a Fixed Indexed Annuity
A Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA) is a low-risk, retirement-focused product offering:
- Market protection with upside potential
- Tax-deferred growth
- Annual 10% free withdrawal
- Lifetime income options
This is the foundation of your legacy planning strategy—protecting capital while giving you liquidity.
💸 Step 2: Use Your 10% Free Withdrawal Strategically
Instead of cashing out or letting the funds sit idle, redirect the 10% penalty-free withdrawal into a Cash Value Life Insurance policy—such as an Indexed Universal Life (IUL).
💡 This move builds tax-advantaged wealth for future generations.
🌱 Step 3: Fund a Cash Value Life Insurance Policy
- Tax-free death benefit
- Living benefits for health events
- Tax-free income via policy loans
This is the only asset that grows tax-deferred, protects your family, and provides living benefits.
