Bill and Kathy Wolfe can see retirement on the horizon. For now, however, the 59-year-old residents of Ambler, Pa., both continue to work. Bill has spent 38 years in the telecommunications industry. Kathy is retired after 28 years of hospital work, but still works part time in a doctor’s office.
Bill once donated time to coaching baseball and directing athletics for the local Catholic Youth Organization. “I’d like to pursue those activities again once I retire,” he said. Kathy, a former high school basketball player, continues to referee girls’ high school games.
Working with youth brings the couple fulfillment, but it won’t pay the bills in retirement. That’s why they have several investment products – mutual funds, two Roth IRAs, and a variable annuity – from The Hartford.
As a health-care worker, Kathy knows the challenge posed by retirement. “People are living longer, but they need more money to last through their retirement and to fund health care,” Kathy said. “The Hartford has demonstrated good performance, so we know we’ll be prepared.”
