ISSUE:<\/em>\u00a0 We worked with an executive who had been downsized at age 50 and his income reduced from $300,000 to $150,000.\u00a0 Obviously, he needed additional income. \u00a0This client had worked for a Fortune 100 company where his 401(k) had accumulated to $750,000.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nSOLUTION:<\/em>\u00a0 Through our process, we showed him how he could receive income now before age 59 1\/2 and NOT pay the 10% early withdrawal penalty tax. \u00a0As a result, he was able to receive $300,000+ over an 8-year period. \u00a0No one at the Fortune 100 company or within their HR department had told him about the option we showed him that successfully resolved his income issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n\nLower Custodial Fees and Taxes<\/h3>\n\n
