Fixed Annuities, Index Annuities
Annuities, by far, are the most misunderstood and in some cases, misused, financial vehicles in the marketplace. Planning for retirement can be an extremely daunting task and when you add in the confusion of what products to use, who to trust, how to invest…some people choose to do nothing.

Annuity Basics, Retirement Planning
I have had hundreds of conversations with women regarding their money. Each has their own story, their own goals and vision for their future.
