    The whole process was great. No pressure presentation, affordable options were presented and questions during and after the meeting were answered concisely. I went into the process with a little bit of trepidation but felt at ease afterwards knowing my insurance need had been met at an affordable cost to me.
    I totally recommend Abdoulaziz for your insurance needs.

    Joseph is very professional and knowledgeable. When he reached out to me, I was stressed out about Medicare and all I needed to do in time to not be penalized. He took time to go over multiple options with me to help me make the best decision for my Medicare prescription drug plan. I have already given his name to a few of my friends for Medicare election assistance. I definitely recommend Joseph.

    Naomi, thank so much for your leadership and guidance in helping me secure life insurance for my loved ones when I pass! I was totally shocked to learn how expensive life insurance is after reaching a certain age however you educated me on how important it is to secure at an early age which I have passed on to hopefully future clients of yours. Thank you again for your patience and guidance and finding a plan that is affordable to me.

Find out how Bankers Life long-term care insurance can offer you or a loved one the flexibility and independence you deserve. Someone may need long-term care if they can no longer perform activities of daily living on their own (such as eating, bathing, dressing, or taking medications). These assisted care needs usually arise as part of the normal aging process, but can also occur as a result of injury, illness, or cognitive impairment. Long-term care can be costly and Medicare may not cover many of the expenses. Long-term care insurance pays benefits for assisted care services received at a facility or at home

Protecting Your Nest Egg: Understanding Sequence Risk in Retirement
As you prepare for retirement, one of the most important considerations is how to ensure that your nest egg lasts throughout your lifetime and you don’t outlive your money. One risk that many may overlook is sequence risk, which occurs when you face poor market returns early in retirement while you’re drawing down your savings.
