This month, as we recognize National Annuity Awareness Month, we're taking time to talk about a retirement topic that continues to generate a lot of questions for families across the country — annuities and guaranteed retirement income. For some people, annuities can help create predictable income and provide peace of mind in retirement. For others, they may not fit their goals at all. The challenge is that many Americans hear conflicting information, complicated terminology, and high-pressure sales messaging that can make it difficult to separate facts from hype. On this week’s show, Host Jim Tarabocchia and Financial Advisor Erick Arnett break down what annuities actually are, how different types of annuities work, and the role they may play within a broader retirement strategy. The guys also talk about some of the biggest myths surrounding annuities and the questions every consumer should ask before making any long-term financial decision.

May is Military appreciation month, a time to honor the men and women who serve and have served our great nation
And while we honor those associated with the military, members and veterans are fighting a different battle: finances, and purpose. Key Points Covered:1. Finding a purpose - For many who leave the military, the biggest challenge isn’t just money — it’s finding purpose in a new civilian world. 2. Financial Stability - With a solid financial foundation, veterans gain the freedom to chase meaningful work instead of just any paycheck. 3. Financial Options - Several powerful financial vehicles are available specifically for former service members.
