          OUTLIVING YOUR INCOME
 
After giving a patient a checkup, the doctor happily tells the lady she is so healthy, she will live to be
a hundred years old.  The lady, with a disappointed look on her face replies, I'm not financially prepared
to live to 100.  Can I get a second opinion?
 
We are all happy with our life expectancy increasing but also councerned  we may outlast our money.
Beware of  new annuity products that will guareentee you will not outlive your assets.  The catch?  You
cannot withdraw or take a monthly income until you are 85 years old even if you need the money prior to that time.
If you die before age 85, the insurance company keeps all money you deposited.  There is nothing for your beneficiary. 
 
The solution?
A Knights of Columbus annuity.  You can add any amount anytime. You can leave it on deposit until 85, take it out
sooner or extend the deposit time.  If you die before drawing it all out, your savings will go to your designated beneficiary.
You have the option of drawing a monthly income for life at 85 or sooner if you desire.  It guarentees a minimum time, that
you designate for the mountly pay out.  If you die before the designated guarenteed period, Your beneficiaries will continue to receive
your mountly designated amount until the guarenteed period is completed.  You can save as much as you want
as long as you want and the interest is defered until you withdraw.  If you have a major medical problem or need the money
for a nursing home, (any applicable early withdrawl fees are waived by the K of C). 
 
Your future starts tomorrow.  Contact me today.
