Safe Growth in a Volatile Market

In this episode of "My Money is Safe," host Greg Elie and his vice president Patti Jaynes promote safe retirement strategies through their company, The Prosperity Group, urging listeners to protect assets from market volatility using the "Rule of 100" (subtract your age from 100 to determine the percentage that should be in safe, income-producing vehicles). The core focus is their PSLIP (Properly Structured Life Insurance Plan), which allows policyholders to access tax-free income and living benefits—such as long-term care, home health care, or chronic illness support—while alive, in addition to traditional death benefits for heirs.

They share real client success stories, including one woman with a chronic illness who accessed $450,000 tax-free from her policy, and emphasize how these plans can generate substantial tax-free retirement income (e.g., $175k+ annually for some couples), help fund nursing home costs, and turn modest contributions into significant legacies. The hosts criticize "buy term and invest the difference" approaches as renting insurance, contrast them with properly structured permanent policies (like Indexed Universal Life), warn about taxes and market risks in a "corporate dictatorship" era, and repeatedly invite calls to 1-800-297-5755 or visits to MyMoneyIsSafe.com for reviews, tax calculators, and consultations. The discussion blends financial education, personal anecdotes, and motivational advice for all ages.

Life Insurance that can protect you, dead or alive

In this episode of "My Money Is Safe," hosts Greg and Patty discuss Roth conversions and advanced life insurance strategies as powerful retirement and legacy tools. They explain converting traditional IRA funds (e.g., $100k annually) to Roth accounts, paying taxes upfront, and using vehicles that can offset costs with ~20%+ growth for tax-free access later. They then highlight the PSLIP (Properly Structured Life Insurance Plan) as a "Roth on steroids," offering immediate leveraged death benefits (often $1M–$3M+ from smaller premiums), tax-free loans/withdrawals, and living benefits for long-term care or terminal illness—illustrated by Greg's personal story of accessing six figures tax-free for his wife's cancer treatment after minimal premiums. For qualifying clients (especially under 65), they describe a premium-financed "3-to-1 match" strategy where client contributions are leveraged with bank loans (collateralized by the policy) for exponential growth and protection. The pair emphasize customizing combinations of these approaches based on health and goals, urging listeners to call 1-800-297-5755 or visit MyMoneyIsSafe.com.

Should you consider a Roth conversion for your retirement?

In this episode of “My Money is Safe,” Greg Ellie of Prosperity Group and his vice president Patti Jaynes explore the good, bad, and ugly of income riders on annuities. These optional features allow retirees to generate guaranteed lifetime pension-like income for both spouses without surrendering the principal to the insurance company, with any remaining account value passing to beneficiaries. Using examples like turning $500,000 into $30,000–$40,000 (or more with deferral and roll-ups) of annual income, they highlight strong riders that offer compounded growth on the benefit base (e.g., 8%), potential long-term care doublers, and better performance than high-fee variable annuity riders. They stress the importance of choosing the right rider, locking in higher rates now, following the Rule of 100 for asset allocation, and getting a second opinion on existing annuities, as many agents don’t fully understand them. The hosts encourage listeners facing market volatility to call 1-800-297-5755 or visit mymoneyissafe.com for safe-money strategies that protect principal while building reliable retirement income.
