Michael Opp explained: “Start with getting a guaranteed income strategy that will cover your bills. It’s going to cover the things that you need in your life. Do what you want with the rest, but give yourself that peace of mind and start working with a fiduciary who will look at all products, all aspects, to make sure that you accomplish your lifestyle goals and needs.”
