The one you daydreamed about while saving for the “someday” that’s now upon you. ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/goals.png) #### The Heyday app will help you prioritize and plan for the retirement goals you’ve always wanted, plus any new ones that have come up along the way. You’ll also be able to plan and budget for some of the challenges that can leave many retirees in a challenging position, and unable to enjoy spending any money. With input from you, the app forecasts your entire retirement budget from now through 100+, with a year-by-year breakdown of your expenses, goals, challenges, income and monthly surplus. Month after month, year after year, you’ll know exactly how much you will receive. ### “The Heyday app forecasts your entire retirement budget from now through age 100+.” By the end of the process, you’ll have helped build a custom retirement plan that includes what you want most, and are most concerned about facing. And you won’t have to go through the process alone. The Heyday App starts with a personalized welcome from a Heyday Assistant who will set up your account, give you a tour of the app and answer any questions you have. ### “The Heyday app starts with a personal welcome from a Heyday Assistant.” Embrace your Heyday knowing you have a plan to achieve the retirement you’ve always imagined. ### The Heyday app can be right for you if: ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/check_icon.svg) You don’t want to pause retirement and go back to work ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/check_icon.svg) You have as little as $100K or as much as $5 million saved for retirement ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/check_icon.svg) You’re concerned about outliving your money ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/check_icon.svg) You would rather use the monthly budgeting approach than manage a lump sum ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/check_icon.svg) You need a retirement plan that can work 100% of the time as long as you follow it ### The goal of the Heyday app is to replace some of the things you lose in retirement that could still work really well, like: ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/check_icon.svg) #### A predictable income Knowing exactly how much you have coming in — and when — helps provide the stability and routine you enjoyed during your career. ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/check_icon.svg) #### Monthly budgeting Use this approach to help manage your money like you did while working. ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/check_icon.svg) #### Health care Your premiums will need to be paid outside of your plan, but we can budget for them. ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/check_icon.svg) #### Vacation planning You have the time off, you have the budget allocated in your plan. Now all you have to do is book the trips and take them! If you make vacations a recurring expense in your plan, you can look forward to one big adventure after the next. ### “Know exactly how much you have coming in — and when.” ### But how does it work? The Heyday app uses an advanced algorithm to create a retirement income plan tailored to your specific retirement goals, challenges and financial situation. Unlike other income planning tools available, the Heyday app uses a goals-first approach to help ensure your ideal retirement is well within reach. It’s about more than creating a stream of retirement income. It’s about letting your retirement goals — not your assets — drive your plans. This approach took 20 years of working with retirees to hone and refine. Heyday Retirement was founded by professionals who are passionate about helping retirees make retirement the reward it was always meant to be. The experienced professionals who make up the Heyday team have worked with hundreds of retirees since 1999, and created Heyday in 2017 to help even more retirees with a proven, goals-first approach. ### The team ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/EricStratton.jpg) #### Eric Stratton Founder, President Retirement Income Strategies since 1999 ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/CindyCollins.jpg) #### Cindy Collins Senior Vice President Financial Services since 1987 ![](https://www.heydayretirement.com/hubfs/SamMagdalein.jpg) #### Sam Magdalein Founder, Vice President Financial Services since 2002 At Heyday, experience has taught us that in order to get the retirement you deserve, you’ve got to dream big.

They are long term insurance products with guarantees backed by the issuing company. They provide the potential for interest to be credited based in part on the performance of specific indices, without the risk of loss of premium due to market downturns or fluctuation. Although fixed-index annuities guarantee no loss of premium due to market downturns, deductions from your accumulation value for additional optional benefit riders could under certain scenarios exceed interest credited to the accumulation value, which would result in loss of premium. They may not be appropriate for all clients. ###### Sources 1 [https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/working\_papers/2007/RAND\_WR196-2.pdf](https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/working_papers/2007/RAND_WR196-2.pdf) 2 [https://feeds.aarp.org/work/working-at-50-plus/info-2019/age-discrimination-experiment-video.html?\_amp=true&\_\_twitter\_impression=true](https://feeds.aarp.org/work/working-at-50-plus/info-2019/age-discrimination-experiment-video.html?_amp=true&__twitter_impression=true) 3 [https://www.towerswatson.com/en-US/Insights/Newsletters/Americas/insider/2012/Annuities-and-Retirement-Happiness](https://www.towerswatson.com/en-US/Insights/Newsletters/Americas/insider/2012/Annuities-and-Retirement-Happiness) #### About Us Heyday Retirement is a premier source for comprehensive tools and informative content designed to help retirees secure a custom retirement income plan.
