perfect kick off to summer
The ONLY way my husband can unplug is if there is no service - no cell phone, no emails, no news, no internet.  He gets out of range as often as possible, but Memorial Day is always the first family camp trip of the year: three full days of volleyball, badminton, nature walks, rides in the side-by-side, and stories around the camp fire.  
Our neighbor down the street is retired and he goes camping during the week and only comes home on weekends to take care of his honey-dos.  This is what my husband aspires to.  To make that happen, we needed a solid plan for retirement.  A few years ago we started an overfunded Indexed Life policy for him to provide supplemental income after age 65.  With more and more people outliving their retirement, it's more important than ever to have this discussion with your clients (and look at your own plan).  In this newsletter you will find multiple resources to help get the retirement conversation started.  
Check out the rest of our newsletter for more on the industry. Look for quick one-page sales ideas under New West Shorts.  You can always go to our website for the latest carrier information (updated every week) under Product News & Updates.
