How we help

Six decisions.
No product parade.

Each service begins with a question and a defined scope. The product discussion earns its way in only when it helps answer that question.

01
Retirement income

Can I retire—and what can I actually spend?

We compare dependable income with expected spending, then stress-test the gap your savings must carry. You get a useful first answer before a full planning engagement is proposed.

  • Income-gap analysis
  • Social Security timing
  • Sequence-risk stress test

02
Annuity second opinion

Is this contract any good for the job I need it to do?

We translate guarantees, income benefits, surrender values, crediting limits, riders, and issuer strength into an understandable keep-change-or-watch decision.

  • Contract translation
  • Keep vs. replace comparison
  • Exit-cost analysis

03
Long-term care resilience

What happens to the other spouse if care is needed?

We model the care event first, then compare self-funding, family support, traditional coverage, and hybrid strategies without pretending one answer fits everybody.

  • Care-cost scenarios
  • Spousal impact
  • Funding alternatives

04
Life insurance strategy

Do I need this policy—and is it built to last?

We define the financial problem, separate guarantees from projections, and test whether premiums, cash value, loans, and death benefits behave as expected.

  • Needs analysis
  • Illustration stress test
  • Existing-policy review

05
Portfolio stress testing

What breaks if markets, rates, or life refuse to cooperate?

We run understandable what-if scenarios across the whole retirement picture, including poor early returns, inflation, changing income, and a care event.

  • Down-market scenarios
  • Inflation pressure
  • Plain-English report

06
Advisor collaboration

Can you handle the insurance work without taking over the relationship?

Yes. Mark can serve as the insurance specialist alongside an RIA, CPA, attorney, or existing advisor—with scope and communication agreed in advance.

  • Defined roles
  • Shared analysis
  • No surprise prospecting

Fit check

This works best when you want to understand before you act.

Likely a fit

You have a specific retirement, contract, income, care, or insurance decision and want the math and tradeoffs made visible.

Probably not a fit

You want a predetermined product, a guaranteed forecast, or a recommendation that skips the underlying contract and household facts.

THE RIGHT ANSWER MAY BE “KEEP IT.”

Make the decision prove itself.
