As you ponder your future, financial stability is often a top priority. Being prepared for those unexpected and ever-changing events along the way can be an important part of your future financial plans. But of equal importance is getting the help of a financial advisor to bring into focus your plans. This includes navigating the process of making sure there are no surprises, especially when it comes to your taxes.
A 401(k) is a retirement plan that enables employees to set aside a portion of their earnings. This money can then be invested in a vast array of investment funds within the 401k plan, and the earnings on those investments will not be taxed until the employee withdraws that money. In many cases, employers also match employee contributions to the plan up to an amount defined by the company.
There are two main options. There is a traditional 401k in which contributions are deducted from your gross income(pre-tax). Then there is a Roth 401k in which contributions are deducted from the employee’s after-tax income. Each option has its own distinct tax advantages. A financial advisor can be a great resource to have in your corner when choosing which option is right for you. They can help you make your the complex world of investing, and help you come up with a successful plan for your future.

An annuity is an agreement between you and an insurance company in which the company promises to make periodic payments to you, starting immediately or at some future time. You can either buy an annuity either with a single payment or a series of payments called premiums.
Some annuity contracts provide a way to save for the future. Others can transform your savings into a stream of future income. Still others do both. If you use an annuity as a savings vehicle and the insurance company delays your pay-out to the future, you have a deferred annuity. If you use the annuity to create a source of retirement income and your payments start right away, you have an immediate annuity.
Annuities come in a few varieties: fixed, variable and indexed. Knowing the right option to choose can be a huge factor when planning for your financial future.

Long-term care insurance is a type of insurance designed to cover the costs associated with long-term care services, which are not typically covered by traditional health insurance or Medicare. This type of insurance helps individuals prepare for the potential costs of care they may need as they age or if they experience a chronic illness or disability.
It’s important for individuals considering long-term care insurance to carefully research their options, compare policies from different insurers, and consider factors such as benefit levels, waiting periods, inflation protection, and any exclusions or limitations in coverage.
