Spring cleaning your finances for retirement

Your home isn’t the only thing that needs sprucing-up this time of year

It’s almost the end of April – a time to really get down and dirty with spring cleaning projects. We know many people tackle the clutter in the kitchen, garage and basement. But our sponsor, Jacobs Financial Services, says now is a good time to clean up your finances for retirement.

“We need to clean up our mindset about growth, accumulation and rate of return,” said Tom Jacobs, Founder and CEO of Jacobs Financial Services. “It’s about preserving what I’ve worked so hard to save and how do I use those assets to create an income that will last for the rest of my life.”

The stock market has been quite volatile lately. Jacobs says that’s something you need to watch carefully – and consider protecting your funds in an annuity.

“Now is not a time to be gambling,” said Jacobs. “We’ve enjoyed the longest Bull run in the history of planet Earth. We’ve got to take those chips off the table. We’ve got to put that money in a spot where we can’t lose it. The time to do that is now!”
