Fixed Income for Retirement
John: While I was working, I bought stock every year. Overall, this was a good investment strategy. The stock grew in value considerably. Now that I am retiring, I need a new strategy — one that protects my savings so that my situation won't change even with changes in the markets.
John spoke with a friend who recently set up a charitable gift annuity with his favorite charity. John called SUNY Maritime College and learned that he would receive a good payout based on his age and that he would receive a charitable income tax deduction and part of the payment from the annuity would be tax free.
John: I transferred my stock to fund a charitable gift annuity. I was delighted with the fixed payment I received. I avoided part of the capital gains tax, and my CPA was pleased that my charitable deduction will save taxes this year. With my tax savings and increased income, I can afford to travel to see my grandchildren several times this year!
