Matthew Gallagher wants to help with
​your personal financial journey.
On Sunday, March 25, I went on TV to share my wealth management knowledge with everyone watching “News 8 Daybreak” on ABC (WFAA-TV). If you missed my Five Tips to Avoid Household Budget Busters, you can watch the segment below.
It was gratifying and humbling to share my knowledge with the people who watch ABC television, but I know a lot more than just these five tips—I have a lot of knowledge to share. I’m always sharing that knowledge with clients, and I’d like to share it with you, too.

​Are you considering using an annuity to provide income during your retirement? That could be a good idea, depending on your needs and objectives. Annuities can be a helpful tool to create predictable, reliable income that lasts through your retirement years.
 
Annuities can generate income via two different methods: annuitization or withdrawals. With annuitization, you contribute a lump sum into the annuity policy. The insurance company then converts that lump sum into a lifetime guaranteed stream of income based on your age and other factors. You lose access to the lump sum, but you receive a stream of income that’s guaranteed for life.

​For many workers, the path to retirement is well-defined. You build a successful career, earning promotions and pay raises over time. You contribute to your 401(k), IRA, and other accounts, gradually increasing your net worth. The goal is to minimize your reliance on debt, live within your means, and accumulate enough assets to fund a long and enjoyable retirement.
 
Sometimes the traditional path doesn’t go quite according to plan, though. Unexpected costs and emergencies happen. A medical issue could generate sizable health care costs. You may have to pay for costly home repairs. Market volatility could threaten your savings efforts. You could experience a career disruption that limits your ability to save for retirement.
