My Money Is Safe

Do you want to depend on the volatility wheel for your retirement?

On this episode of My Money Is Safe, Greg Elie and Patti Jaynes focus on economic warning signs they say retirees should not ignore just because stocks are near highs. They cite local strain in Greenville (businesses closing, layoffs, housing costs that block people from moving home) and a Business Insider piece on economist Tuomas Malinen, who points to rising bankruptcies, a private-sector yield curve near a recession signal, and an economy that looks strong mainly in a narrow AI-related slice.

They argue official inflation understates the hit to purchasing power (they compare current prices with 1982-style measures), that 60/40 and buy-and-hold plans leave too much at risk, and that two gaps stand out: no plan for a correction and no catastrophic long-term-care coverage.

Their pitch is to rebalance now—take some chips off the table, use accounts that can add a large day-one bonus, consider tax harvesting or Roth conversions, and review income strategies—so a downturn does not undo retirement. Listeners are invited to call 1-800-297-5755 or visit MyMoneyIsSafe.com.

Warning Signs in the Economy

On this episode of My Money Is Safe, Greg Elie and Patti Jaynes focus on long-term care as “catastrophic insurance” most retirees lack, citing that about 70% of people turning 65 will need some form of paid or unpaid care, with typical stays of 2.5 years for men and 3.5 years for women and annual costs now often $66,000–$80,000 for home health or assisted living and $112,000–$130,000 or more for nursing-home care.

They stress that Medicare covers little custodial care, Medicaid generally requires near-poverty assets, and traditional long-term-care policies are use-it-or-lose-it, while family caregiving can exhaust both money and the caregiver’s health. Solutions they describe include annuity-style accounts with income “doublers” that can temporarily double guaranteed lifetime payouts for care needs, hybrid products that turn a lump sum into both cash value and larger long-term-care and death-benefit pools, and their PSLIP (Properly Structured Life Insurance Plan), which can provide living-benefit access to the death benefit for care while remaining a win-win if unused.

They invite listeners facing these risks to call 1-800-297-5755 or visit MyMoneyIsSafe.com.

You're retired, but do you have catastrophic healthcare?

On this episode of My Money Is Safe, Greg Elie and Patti Jaynes frame high inflation as something retirees can use rather than only endure. They highlight accounts that can add close to 30% to a retirement balance immediately (for example, $100,000 becoming about $130,000 on day one, with later growth compounding on the higher amount), which they compare to several years of typical CD returns and say can produce an average of roughly 7–8% over a decade if the account then earns about 4%.

They contrast this with after-tax CD yields that lose purchasing power once real inflation is factored in, urge a review of existing income riders that may pay less and run out sooner than newer options, and describe using the bonus to fund Roth conversions or their PSLIP (Properly Structured Life Insurance) strategy for tax-free leverage and legacy.

Citing overvaluation, Warren Buffett’s cash position, gold’s rise, and the risk of a sizable correction after an 18-year bull run, they recommend reallocating some gains now—“no one loses money taking a profit”—and invite listeners to call 1-800-297-5755 or visit MyMoneyIsSafe.com.
