Don’t put all your retirement eggs in one basket

Where you should be putting them instead

You’ve heard the saying. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. It’s a phrase that can be applied to many things in our daily lives, including your retirement funds.

“Everyone needs to consider putting some of their money in a fixed index annuity,” said Tom Jacobs – the CEO and Founder of Jacobs Financial Services.

He joined “Live in the D” to explain the importance of knowing where to put a portion of your retirement funds in an “annuity basket” so you don’t risk your money in stocks, bonds or mutual funds.

“The money in this basket is safe. We’re never going to lose it, no matter what happens,” said Jacobs. “It’s still got upside potential. We can use this basket to create a guaranteed income that will last the rest of your life.”
