The Road to Financial Security

Financial security is often a major objective in each of our lives and John Goodwin realizes there is no single road to get to financial security. Indeed, the idea of financial security means something different to every person or organization, and rightfully so: all have different resources, needs and expectations.

John Goodwin acknowledges and appreciates that no two clients are alike, so his first priority always is a conversation. John Goodwin's goal is to understand your current situation, as well as future wants and needs, before providing any recommendations.

As time goes by, John Goodwin continues the conversation at least every year, because ideas that may have been appropriate before often need adjustment to accommodate evolving factors.

Ensuring future financial security is an ongoing process, not a single event.

John’s Youngest Client Ever!!

Josephine and Otis

John Goodwin first featured little Josephine on his website as he appreciated the foresight her parents had in securing a life policy for her when she was just 4 months old. She was the youngest insured ever for John, and now we welcome her little brother Otis.

John hopes Josephine and Otis both practice their parents' and Northwestern Mutual's tradition of financial well-being as they grow.

Permanent life insurance provides life long protection in exchange for a level premium payment. Although life insurance is most often purchased to provide a death benefit, it can also provide living benefits. The cash value of a permanent life insurance policy grows income-tax-deferred. It can be used to provide an income stream during retirement or can help meet other long-term financial goals, such as funding a college education for a child or grandchild.

Some of the living benefits include:

  • Systematic Savings
  • Supplemental Retirement Income
  • Education
  • Retirement Income
  • Emergencies
