Show Notes

This week on Retirement Results, Ford and Sam share the story of Ed Bambas, an 88-year-old veteran who lost his pension, his wife, his home, and his financial security — forcing him back into the workforce at a local supermarket. Ed’s experience is a powerful reminder of why today’s retirees must take steps to protect their income and diversify their retirement plan.

Ford and Sam explain how personal pensions, income-producing assets, and modern annuity strategies can help prevent the kind of retirement disaster Ed experienced. They also discuss how pensions offered by highly rated insurance companies can provide benefits, guarantees, and flexibility that most corporate and government pensions do not.
