Rock and Roll Heaven

The Righteous Brothers recorded Rock and Roll Heaven in 1974. An ode to musicians past, the song referenced the passing of Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin and more. The song has been rewritten since to include Elvis, John Lennon, Marvin Gaye and others. In 2016, it seems another re –write is due to include David Bowie, Glen Frey and now Prince.

Milestones serve to illustrate the passage of time for generations. I’m going take a moment to salute and celebrate how these performers enriched us and made our times more enjoyable. They really have a great band up there.

Looking ahead, plan to enjoy your golden years. Joe Lucey and Derek Fautsch talk on the subject of retirement every week on Secured Retirement Radio Saturdays at 9:00 am on KTLK 1130 AM Twin Cities.

Planning for a Longer Trip-Life Expectancy

Packing for a weekend trip is easy. It only requires two changes of clothing, cosmetics and sundries, and you’re on your way. When travelling for a week or more, packing becomes more complex. How do you anticipate what you may want to wear seven days from now? The longer journey requires careful planning.

In 1930, before Social Security, life expectancy  for Americans was age 59. This year, that number is projected to hit 80. This equates  to for some, decades without a paycheck. Combine this with the coming changes to Social Security and planning the journey of retirement has become even  more demanding.

This past Saturday as in many of the past weeks, Joe Lucey and Derek Fautsch talked about the coming revisions to Social Security on Secured Retirement Radio. We are getting hundreds of calls each week as those 50 plus assess their Social Security benefits and  retirement.

Now is a good time for retirement planning in relation to the changes. We’re professionals, helping you plan a decades long journey. For a custom Social Security analysis or Retirement Review  on your schedule…call us at 952-460-3260.
