The first piece of the retirement puzzle for most public employees is their state pension plan. Our retirement specialists for teachers will review your pension for free and help you answer these questions:
In addition to your pension, you’re probably considering other retirement income sources and planning strategies. Our field agents in North Carolina will leverage their existing knowledge and extensive training to ensure your needs are uniquely addressed with a comprehensive retirement plan. We’ll provide you with a personalized analysis of your portfolio and advise you on the best ways to invest for a successful retirement.
You may be familiar with what a 403(b) is, but you may not be sure how to optimally fund a 403(b). Like most retirement income options, there are numerous 403(b) plans out there, and selecting the right one can be difficult. When you speak with one of our retirement planning agents, they’ll help you select the options that work best for you. If your school system matches contributions to your 403(b), we recommend choosing the best mutual fund options included in your plan and contributing enough to receive the match.
An often overlooked aspect of retirement planning is the potential expense of long-term care. Unlike standard life insurance plans that pay out when you pass away, living benefit life insurance allows the policyholder to access advanced payments should they need immediate financial help. At Appreciation Financial, we’ll take a look at your unique retirement portfolio and see if a living benefit life insurance policy would be right for you.
If you want to plan for a successful retirement, debt elimination is key. One of our primary goals at Appreciation Financial is to help teachers and public servants with student loans or other debt get free. To do this, we’ve partnered with the debt reduction experts at MPowering America who have helped thousands of people cancel millions of dollars in debt and interest.
