Pensions are a great source of guaranteed income for retirement. 😎

They provide an income stream that you can NEVER outlive.

This helps address the number 1 concern for people in #retirement ….

That’s when the pension income is often REDUCED DRASTICALLY.

This isn’t the end of the world but it’s a very important point to consider.

Or have the pension owner carry enough life insurance to ensure that the income gap is covered.
