GROWTH

It’s not too much to expect a competitive return on your investment. We believe you should “grow it and keep it” versus risking your retirement in the market and possibly taking losses when you need your money most. Safety First strives to provide competitive solutions for a secure and successful retirement.

SAFETY

Safety always matters most and is the first consideration in anything we do. As a matter of fact, we have never lost one dime of our client’s funds due to the stock market. Just because the stock market has its ups and downs doesn’t mean your retirement has to.

INCOME

Having access to your funds so you can meet your financial obligations is what income planning is designed to do. Guaranteed Income takes it a step further to give you peace of mind knowing you will have enough income to last a lifetime.

OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE

SECURING YOUR FINANCIAL SAFETY

Welcome to Safety First Financial

Safety First is dedicated to educating consumers on retirement financial matters so they can make wise decisions and secure their financial future.

Due to current economic conditions and market volatility, many people have been seeking safe places to put a portion of their retirement savings. Annuities have gained the attention of retirees because of their safety and guarantees. Not everyone should own an annuity, but an annuity under the right circumstances can play a vital role in securing your retirement.

Safety First is concerned over the confusion by the public on how annuities work and the stigma consumers are receiving from media and others who do not specialize in this area. There are many types annuities and the experts at Safety First Financial will help you decide which is appropriate for your individual needs.
