Introducing Pension Plan 2.0™

Retirement Income Reimagined

401(k)s and IRAs are great at growing money—but not great at replacing your paycheck. Pension Plan 2.0 is our signature strategy to:

Create guaranteed lifetime income

Protect against market downturns

Minimize taxes in retirement

Fund your lifestyle with confidence

The Market Goes Up and Down. Your Retirement Shouldn’t.

Volatility is normal. Losing sleep over it doesn’t have to be.

Markets are unpredictable. In retirement, that unpredictability can be dangerous—especially when you’re depending on your investments for income.


A bad year in the market at the wrong time can set your entire retirement plan back by decades.

That’s why we believe your income should be insulated from the chaos of the markets.

With the right strategy—like Pension Plan 2.0—we help you create a retirement income plan that’s:
  • Stable no matter what the markets do
  • Predictable and consistent, month after month
  • Protected from downturns, so you’re not forced to sell low

Retirement Isn’t the End of Your Paycheck. It’s the Start of a Smarter One.

When you stop working, your income shouldn’t stop with you. The biggest question we help clients answer is:

“How do I replace my paycheck in retirement?”

The answer: with a guaranteed income plan that lasts as long as you do.

  • You need consistent, reliable income—not market guesses.
  • You need protection from running out of money.
  • You need a strategy that turns your savings into a guaranteed paycheck for life.

Because your money should never outlive you. And your retirement should feel like freedom, not fear.
