401(k) Guaranteed Lifetime Income
140 posts
A 401(k) Guaranteed Lifetime Income option is a retirement plan feature that allows participants to convert part of their 401(k) savings into steady, predictable payments for life. Similar to an annuity, it provides income that continues regardless of how long you live, helping reduce the risk of outliving your savings. This option offers financial security in retirement by combining the flexibility of a 401(k) with the stability of guaranteed income.
