After a lifetime of accumulation of savings and wealth, for retirees the entire games changes to the spending of wealth.

So how does your portfolio provide for you then? In the past retirees have leaned heavily on income producing assets, such as dividends and bonds.

Dividend payments have particular frailties. They're never guaranteed and, as shown by  the 2018 collapse of telecom dividends, (Frontier, Century Link, etc) the income can be shut off with little or no notice. And when that happens, the stock price tumbles so that investors are trapped in quicksand, where it's impossible to get the money back out that they invested and take it somewhere else.

Bonds have their own trap, also discussed in this episode.

And so, in this episode of Straight Talk Wealth Radio a surprising new approach as to how income can be generated by a portfolio, known as Longevity Credits, is revealed. It can grow income from a portfolio in ways that have zero with to with the movement of interest rates or the direction of stocks. And it can produce income, often at substantially higher levels than dividends or bonds, and that will be guaranteed for life at that level OR BETTER!

If you ever think you'll need INCOME from your retirement portfolio, be sure to listen to this episode of Straight Talk Wealth Radio, before you find yourself stuck in the old traps of dividends and bonds.
