Thank you to everyone who came out to our very informative event this past weekend. Keep an eye out for future events!

Curious about annuities and how they can create a source of retirement income? There are two main stages of an annuity:
1) Accumulation Stage: This is when you invest and grow your savings. You can contribute a lump sum or make payments over time—whatever fits your financial situation.
2) Distribution Stage: Once you’re ready to start receiving income, you may choose how and when you receive the payouts, which could be paid for a set number of years or last a lifetime.
Together, we can discuss how an annuity may fit in your overall financial plan.
See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

If you’re thinking about using an annuity as a source of retirement income, two important factors to weigh are when you’d like payouts to begin and how long you’d like them to last.
There are multiple annuity payout options to consider, allowing you to find the right fit for your financial situation. Learn more about the different annuity types and payout options available: https://bit.ly/3DMhbC0

Looking for another way to supplement your retirement income? An annuity can provide an income stream to pair with other retirement savings. There are 4 different types:
1️⃣ Fixed Annuity
2️⃣ Variable Annuity
3️⃣ Indexed Annuity
4️⃣ Immediate Annuity
Feeling overwhelmed with the different options? This resource breaks it down with additional information on each type: https://bit.ly/3FrmSpH
