Most women today know of someone who has been stricken with breast cancer. Breast cancer awareness is at an all time high. Additionally, several high profile women who have had breast cancer are bringing more attention to the disease than ever before. However, the one thing that is not being mentioned by these high profile breast cancer patients is the financial crisis that can occur as a result of breast cancer treatment and recovery.Those individuals who have experienced the disease first hand, know that at the very least, breast cancer treatment takes a year of your life. During the treatment and recovery, patients are finding that along with the everyday living expenses, they are now being burdened with NEW expenses they never expected. And many of these can total into the thousands of dollars, and are not associated with their medical treatment at all.</p>
<p>Watch this short video to hear cancer survivors stories:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTbdwMf9_zU" target="_blank"></a></p>
<p>With an inexpensive critical illness plan to supplement your health insurance plan, you could receive up to $500,000 in a tax-free lump sum should you be diagnosed with breast cancer or a number of other life threatening illnesses. This money can be used for WHATEVER you choose.   AND, should you be one of the lucky ones that doesn&#8217;t contract a critical illness, you could get back every penny of premium you paid in!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An indexed annuity is simply a fixed annuity that credits INTEREST in a very unique way. It pays interest based on the <strong>performance</strong> of a stock market index, usually the Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s 500. Indexed annuities are not at all like mutual funds which actually purchase stocks on your behalf and subject your principal value to market risk. In an indexed annuity your principal is NEVER subjected to the fluctuations of the stocks in a fund because you NEVER actually own any stocks. So unlike a mutual fund, you DO NOT lose principal value in an indexed annuity if the stock market goes south.</p>
<p>Without getting too technical, the insurance company pays interest to your account based on the increase in the S&amp;P 500 index, however usually up to a cap. For example some indexed annuities will credit your interest based on the annual growth of the S&amp;P 500 UP TO A CAP of usually 10%. Now that doesn&#8217;t sound like a very good deal if the S&amp;P increase 21% in a year. However consider this&#8230;. Should the S&amp;P LOSE 15% in a year your loss is ZERO! That&#8217;s right S&amp;P 500 loss means no loss of principal value to the indexed annuity client. You wouldn&#8217;t be credited any interest that year (some indexed annuities offer minimum interest guarantees regardless of the index performance) but you wouldn&#8217;t have the loss that would have been incurred from the mutual fund.</p>
<p>Indexed annuities are excellent way to benefit from the upside of an upswing in the stock market without the downside or market risk because you are not actually INVESTED in the stock market.</p>
<p>So when it comes to retirement savings benefitting from the upside of the stock market, without the market risk, with indexed annuities you can have your cake and eat it too.</p>
<p>To learn more about how you can benefit from having your retirement savings dollars in an indexed annuity feel free to contact me directly for more information or to have any of your questions answered.</p>
<p>In my next message I&#8217;ll explain how to withdraw your money from an annuity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life insurance is one of those topics like religion and politics we are conditioned NOT to talk about. However, that being said life insurance is a necessary and invaluable tool in your financial portfolio, if used correctly. Regardless of what your financial planner/advisor tells you there are only two reasons for life insurance and they are:</p>
<ol>
<li>To create an estate</li>
<li>Or to transfer an estate</li>
</ol>
<p>95% of the families in the U.S. need life insurance for the first reason, to create an estate. In other words, to replace the income lost in the event that one or both of the family&#8217;s income producers are struck down by a premature death, which would dramatically shorten the time they have to create their estate. The 5% of those individuals that use life insurance for estate transfer want to transfer their accumulated wealth to someone besides their spouse tax free. A primary trigger for a family&#8217;s need for life insurance is usually the birth of the first child. As part of your family financial plan you should consider how those children will be financially taken care of if the primary income earners die BEFORE the children are grown and out of the house. This type of coverage is better known as &#8220;income replacement&#8221; coverage. And it is far more affordable than most people believe. <a href="http://affordablelifeinsurance.us/jgray/" target="_blank"></a><hr /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In one of my previous messages I explained to you what indexed annuities are. Hopefully you  learned how valuable they can be for your retirement savings because now you can  benefit from the upside prospects of the stock market without the inherent  market risk of mutual funds.</p>
<p>In this I will dispel any misunderstandings  of how illiquid annuities are.</p>
<p>As I explained in an earlier message  annuities are not recommended as short term savings vehicles. However, other  than you taking out more than the annual withdrawl limit or completely  liquidating your account for reasons other than those that would not incur a  surrender fee, annuities allow you quite a bit of liquidity.</p>
<p>Here are  ways some annuities allow you to withdraw money from your account without  incurring a surrender charge:</p>
<ul>
<li>limit your withdrawl to less than the annual withdrawl limit (usually 10%)</li>
<li>annuitize your account, which means to convert it from a deferred annuity to  an immediate annuity or more specifically choose an income option from your  annuity</li>
<li>become confined to a nursing home</li>
<li>lose two or more activities of daily activity (adls) these are  <strong>transferring</strong> (sitting to standing, getting in and out of bed),  <strong>Hygene</strong> (bathing, grooming, oral care),  <strong>Continence</strong>, <strong>Dressing</strong>, <strong>Eating</strong> (ability to feed self) and <strong>Toileting</strong> (ability to go to the  bathroom on own)</li>
<li>be diagnosed with a critical illness</li>
</ul>
<p>Granted most of these are  extreme instances but this is your retirement account NOT a Holiday Savings  account and you should plan on leaving this money accumulate until retirement  UNLESS there something catastrophic occurs. Which most insurance companies  recognize and make allowances for.</p>
<p>In the next message I will explain  what happens to your annuity if you die. .</p>
<p>In the meantime, if you would  like more information regarding annuities or have any questions regarding your  retirement savings options feel free to contact me directly at 877-777-7055 or  visit our website at <a href="../" target="_blank">www.insr4u.com</a><hr /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like Health Savings Accounts for health insurance, indexed annuities are the least understood GREAT product for retirement savings dollars. Unfortunately, like health savings accounts, most financial services professionals that recommend indexed annuities, DO NOT explain them adequately to their clients.</p>
<p>An indexed annuity is simply a fixed annuity that credits INTEREST in a very unique way. It pays interest based on the performance of a stock market index, usually the Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s 500. Indexed annuities are not at all like mutual funds which actually purchase stocks on your behalf and subject your principal value to market risk. In an indexed annuity your principal is NEVER subjected to the fluctuations of the stocks in a fund because you NEVER actually own any stocks. So unlike a mutual fund, you DO NOT lose principal value in an indexed annuity if the stock market goes south.</p>
<p>Without getting too technical, the insurance company pays interest to your account based on the increase in the S&amp;P 500 index, however usually up to a cap. For example some indexed annuities will credit your interest based on the annual growth of the S&amp;P 500 UP TO A CAP of usually 10%. Now that doesn&#8217;t sound like a very good deal if the S&amp;P increase 21% in a year. However consider this&#8230;. Should the S&amp;P LOSE 15% in a year your loss is ZERO! That&#8217;s right S&amp;P 500 loss means no loss of principal value to the indexed annuity client. You wouldn&#8217;t be credited any interest that year (some indexed annuities offer minimum interest guarantees regardless of the index performance) but you wouldn&#8217;t have the loss that would have been incurred from the mutual fund.</p>
<p>Indexed annuities are excellent way to benefit from the upside of an upswing in the stock market without the downside or market risk because you are not actually INVESTED in the stock market.</p>
<p>So when it comes to retirement savings benefiting from the upside of the stock market, without the market risk, with indexed annuities you can have your cake and eat it too.</p>
<p>To learn more about how you can benefit from having your retirement savings dollars in an indexed annuity feel free to contact me directly for more information or to have any of your questions answered.</p>
<p>In the meantime, if you would like more information regarding annuities or have any questions regarding your retirement savings options feel free to contact me directly at 1-877-777-7055 or visit our website at www.insr4u.com<hr /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this message I would like to highlight some of the many advantages annuities have over bank CDs.</p>
<p>First both offer safety of principal in fact they both GUARANTEE your principal. CDs do it via a small reserve requirement of less than 6% and the balance of the guarantee covered by an insurance policy purchased from the FDIC. There is a limit of $250,000 per person per account for the FDIC guarantee.</p>
<p>Annuity principal amount is guaranteed by the insurance company which by law must have $1.03 dollars in liquid reserve for every dollar you have in your account. And there is NO limit on the amount of your principal guaranteed, which could account for more sophisticated and high net worth clients purchasing larger annuities.</p>
<p>Furthermore, it must be said that NO annuity purchaser has EVER lost $1 in principal from the defaulting of an insolvent insurance company. The same CANNOT be said for bank CDs purchasers. There are thousands of bank clients who&#8217;ve lost thousands of dollars in savings accounts that were over the FDIC limits when the bank became insolvent. If history is any indication it would appear safety is on the side of the annuity purchaser.</p>
<p>Secondly, the tax deferred growth of an annuity allows more control over when the interest is taxed and allows for you to accrue interest on money that would have been paid in taxes were your money in a CD. And it would allow for a greater long term rate of return. The advantage is clearly on the annuity&#8217;s side here.</p>
<p>Thirdly, although you incur an initial surrender fee schedule with an annuity. It decreases each year and eventually disappears completely. After the maturity date of the CD you are forced to repurchase another CD or renew it, initiating a NEW early withdrawal penalty. Therefore in essence the early withdrawal penalty for CDs will NEVER end. The advantage for this comparison again goes to the annuity.</p>
<p>Finally, the annuity is the only retirement savings vehicle that can guarantee an income that you cannot outlive. Banks don&#8217;t even try to compare this feature when trying to match CDs up to annuities.</p>
<p>So to dispell misconception number 6 regarding annuities: CDs are NOT better retirement savings vehicles than annuities</p>
