Insurance

or rolling over additional funds into an existing account, as a tax savings vehicle. A
secondary approach is to tout the rate of interest that money in one of these
accounts can earn. Let me join the chorus of folks encouraging you to open or add
funds to an annuity, but for a different reason.

Certainly, contributing money to a Knights of Columbus annuity will allow you to save
some money on your income tax return. And our annuities do pay a very competitive
interest rate, consistent with our primary goal of absolute safety of principal.
Opening or adding to an annuity for these reasons, however, strikes me as taking a
short-term view of a product that is designed to provide long-term security. How
much security? How does a retirement income that you cannot outlive – guaranteed
– sound to you?

Here at the Knights of Columbus, you can open a retirement annuity for as little as
$300. Consistent and disciplined savings placed into that annuity over time can
guarantee you an income at retirement that you cannot outlive. That guarantee –
along with the fact that no one has ever lost money left in a Knights of Columbus
annuity (remember – absolute safety of principal), really will provide you with peace
of mind.

As you ponder all the things that may not work out as you proceed toward
retirement, think about one thing you can do to help yourself – opening a Knights of
Columbus annuity. It’s reasonably priced ($300 to start), guaranteed, and controlled
by someone you trust – you!
