Having been friends for 40 years, the conversation was fun, exciting and covered a lot of topics that I’m sure have been “keeping you up at night!”

Smart strategies to protect your house and eliminate your mortgage by retirement!

Have you ever wondered if there is a smarter way to handle your mortgage while simultaneously building your wealth? Mortgage acceleration using permanent life insurance involves using a permanent/cash value life insurance policy to ultimately pay off your mortgage early and avoid thousands of dollars worth of interest.

At the same time, this strategy maintains valuable death benefit protection on the wage-earner(s). The accumulation value in the policy has the potential to grow over a 15 to 18 year period so that there is sufficient accumulation value to pay off the mortgage through a life insurance policy loan and keep the policy in-force for ongoing death benefit protection.

If the home is not paid off through policy loans, accumulation value may also be available to use for supplemental retirement income or other financial desires.

Let's explore how permanent insurance products can accelerate your path to financial freedom.

No, you don't have to be Catholic to get your free will. However, you can join this group of faithful supporters today by including a planned gift to the permanent endowment funds at the Catholic Foundation of North Georgia in your will.

Most people understand they need to save, but fewer understand the "leaks" that can drain a 401(k) before it ever hits their pocket. From hidden investment fees to tax liabilities on future withdrawals, it’s easy to lose thousands if you aren't planning ahead.

We’ve worked hard to get where we are, and if we’re lucky, we have another 20 to 30 years of life to enjoy. But I have to ask: will your 401(k) be able to keep up with you?

Many people over 59 1/2 make small, manageable mistakes that compound into big problems—like not rebalancing their portfolio or failing to account for inflation. I’ve identified 15 specific mistakes that could threaten your financial security.
