What Retirees Need Most Right Now—And How This South Carolina-Based Firm Is Delivering
What Is Pension-Like Income™?
SPONSORED BY Prosperity Group
Traditional pensions are all but extinct, leaving many Americans to navigate retirement on their own—often with nothing more than a 401(k), IRA, or mix of taxable accounts. That’s where Prosperity Group’s Pension-Like Income™ model comes in. The strategy uses a combination of retirement income tools to turn existing savings into guaranteed, joint lifetime income for both spouses—so a single IRA or 401(k) can cover two people, for life. That means fewer question marks, fewer hard trade-offs, and a plan built for the long haul. And while guaranteed income is the foundation, it’s not the whole story. Prosperity Group also structures these plans to:
Reduce tax exposure, especially on required minimum distributions (RMDs). Greg and his team will show inflation reduction strategies without risky investments. Plan around inflation without risky investments Avoid market volatility, even during downturns Preserve assets for heirs or charitable giving. They will show a retirement preservation strategy, even in the event of a stock market crash.
That’s peace of mind for retirees who want flexibility, stability, and protection—all in one plan.

What Retirees Are Up Against
Many couples underestimate just how much retirement can cost—especially when it comes to health care. A 65-year-old couple today may face as much as $400,000 in medical expenses over the course of their retirement. Prosperity Group doesn’t shy away from those numbers. Instead, they plan for them head-on—with strategies designed not only to cover costs, but to give retirees more flexibility and certainty. One of their most powerful tools? Properly Structured Life Insurance Plans™ (PSLIP™)—an unique ROTH alternative approach that allows clients to access their policy’s death benefit while still living, should a major medical crisis arise.
Most people think of life insurance as a payout that benefits someone else due to death. But with PSLIP™, Prosperity Group clients can tap into tax-advantaged funds for long-term care, chronic illness, or other serious health events—transforming what was once a future-focused safety net into a dynamic retirement planning resource. It’s a strategy that pairs well with Medicare planning, especially for clients trying to understand the full scope of their healthcare costs and options. For that, the firm turns to one of its most dedicated resources.
Let our team at Prosperity Group help you navigate the daunting and sometimes confusing options with Medicare.
Why Now?
Interest rates are changing fast—and for retirees, that can open new opportunities. Today’s market still offers options for guaranteed income, but many of them are time-sensitive. Once rates start dropping again, those guarantees may not be as generous. That’s why Prosperity Group is encouraging prospective clients to act now. Whether you’re trying to build a Pension-Like Income™ plan or simply want help sorting through Medicare options, now is the moment to explore your choices. That means retirees have a limited window to lock in better terms—and create the kind of income stream that holds up even when the market doesn’t. And don't worry because even if you have already triggered an income stream from your annuity or pension there is still an opportunity to lock in better terms by refinancing your annuities.
Whether you’re newly retired, five years away, or just starting to think about the future, it’s worth taking a closer look. Creating a Pension-Like Income is more than just income, it's about giving you control over your paycheck during retirement.

In a shifting market, Prosperity Group is helping upstate retirees create a Pension-Like Income™ for life— incorporating strategies to reduce taxes, inflation, and rising medical costs.
Retirement isn’t what it used to be—and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Today’s retirees are healthier, more active, and living longer than generations past. But with that longevity comes a new set of questions: Will our retirement savings last for both our lives? What happens when the market drops? And what if we face unexpected healthcare costs?
At Prosperity Group, those are the kinds of questions they love to answer. With almost four decades of experience, founder and advisor Greg Elie and his firm have earned a reputation for helping clients create clarity, stability, and freedom in retirement—without relying on luck or market timing.
Now, as we re-enter a low-interest-rate environment and economic uncertainty rises, this South Carolina-based firm is spotlighting several key strategies. These include:
After working hard and saving diligently, it’s easy to assume you’re set for retirement. But in today’s landscape, letting things ride can be risky. Without a structured plan, retirees may miss opportunities to lock in stronger income guarantees—or find themselves overexposed to market volatility, rising taxes, or unexpected medical bills. That’s why Prosperity Group is hosting a series of educational seminars this October—a chance to meet the team, ask your most pressing questions, and start building a retirement plan you can count on.
