The War Chest Strategy™: Your Path to Income Independence, sooner

We designed the War Chest Strategy™️™exclusively for you because we discovered that traditional financial planning was not serving your needs when it came to answering questions about what to do about your military retirement pay & benefits such as SBP, TSP and VGLI.

One significant flaw of the standard SBP is the inability to change beneficiaries, posing the risk of losing all contributions if the spouse dies first. Our solution revolutionizes this approach. We guarantee a return on investment in any eventuality, providing financial certainty and flexibility.

The War Chest Strategy™️ is more than just a backup plan; it’s a resource for you to tap into during your retirement, whether for leisure, investment, or other personal milestones.

(FAQs) Frequently Asked Questions

At US VetWealth, the War Chest Strategy represents a paradigm shift from conventional financial planning goals to a more robust, system-based approach. This strategy is particularly suited to the modern economy’s unpredictability and is tailored to the unique benefits you’ve earned as a military retiree. Our focus is on secure money strategies involving life insurance and annuity policies, entering you into contracts with major US insurers that traditionally serve high-net-worth individuals. This approach is grounded in your proven income-generating abilities, not on the speculative nature of stock market investments.

The War Chest Strategy comprehensively addresses the most critical risks affecting your retirement savings: market volatility, taxation, excessive fees, income distribution, and advisory uncertainties. By insuring both your assets and income, this strategy liberates you from financial worries, enabling you to concentrate on what truly impacts your life – be it a new career path, entrepreneurial ventures, quality family time, or a peaceful and fulfilling retirement.

Discovering if you qualify for an SBP alternative is simpler than you might think. The Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) is a one-size-fits-all solution, charging a uniform 6.5% rate for all military retirees, regardless of health. However, if you’re in good health, you might be paying more than necessary. We offer a streamlined underwriting process to assess if you qualify for a private life insurance solution, which could lead to more favorable rates and enhanced financial security during your retirement years.

It’s not just about qualification; it’s about finding a solution that aligns perfectly with your health status and financial goals. Let’s explore your options together for a more tailored and cost-effective retirement plan.

Converting your TSP into a guaranteed lifetime income requires a strategic approach. While the TSP annuity option might seem straightforward, it limits your financial flexibility by using your TSP principal solely for a COLA based fixed income stream and offers no legacy potential for your loved ones.

At US VetWealth, we recommend a more innovative and secure route: privatized annuities. This approach not only maintains your access to the principal but also ensures asset growth during your retirement years. Our strategy guarantees a lifetime income, safeguarded against market fluctuations and inflation, and dynamically adjusts to enhance your financial stability year after year. Plus, it includes a death benefit, ensuring that your family is protected financially, should you meet an untimely demise. It’s a comprehensive solution that respects both your present and future financial needs.

No. At US VetWealth, we recognize the unique financial journey of military retirees and have thus crafted an innovative approach that differs significantly from traditional financial planning. Our method is not a ‘done for you’ service where we take control of your assets and dictate your financial moves.

Instead, we believe in a partnership model – a ‘done with you’ approach. We view our role as that of a consultant, working alongside you and any existing financial advisors you may have. Our aim is to enhance and diversify your financial strategy, not to replace what you already have in place. By partnering with a wide array of life insurance carriers, we offer you the best insurance and annuity solutions without the extra fees typically associated with traditional financial planning. This approach ensures that more of your hard-earned money is invested in your future, right from the start.

Therefore, we proudly offer a complimentary strategy consultation tailored specifically for military retirees and active service members. We understand the unique challenges and questions you may face. This free consultation is designed to swiftly provide answers to your most urgent inquiries, ensuring you can confidently decide if our services align with your needs. It’s an opportunity to address key concerns, allowing you to focus on other critical aspects of your life, like transitioning to a new career or navigating VA disability claims.

Your transition into military retirement brings a profound financial revelation, as we’ve seen in our 15 years of guiding military retirees at US VetWealth. The moment you start receiving your military pension and witnessing your savings grow, you’ll realize a crucial fact: you are now among the top 10% of U.S. income earners.

This isn’t just a statistic—it’s a game-changer for your wealth management strategy. Traditional financial planning, primarily designed for those on a fixed income, doesn’t align with your new reality. As a military retiree, especially in your 40s or 50s, you have a unique advantage. You have the opportunity to further develop your capabilities, grow your professional connections, and pursue additional income avenues, all on top of the pension you’ve earned. This phase of life calls for a dynamic, forward-thinking approach to financial planning, one that leverages your distinguished career and paves the way for continued financial growth and security.

Average annual salary of high-income earners in the U.S.:

Top 10% = $248,610
Top 5% = $390,209
Top 1% = $1,199,812

The financial guidance available to active duty military personnel is predominantly designed for those in the earlier stages of their careers, focusing on the needs of younger service members and their families. This advice is crucial during those formative years, but as you progress, your financial requirements evolve. By finding US VetWealth, you’ve identified yourself as part of an exclusive group – the top 10% of military personnel who have achieved a level of success beyond the ordinary. Our firm exists because we recognized a critical gap in services for military retirees, particularly those in higher ranks or with longer service. Often, the assumption is that these individuals are well-off and have fewer concerns. However, the reality is that they face just as many, if not more, critical financial decisions. US VetWealth is dedicated to providing specialized, privatized wealth management solutions that are perfectly suited to your unique situation, helping you navigate this pivotal stage with confidence and ease.

At US VetWealth, we distinguish ourselves by not just being financial advisors but acting as specialized consultants dedicated to serving you, the military retiree. Our approach is unique because we offer access to an exclusive blend of industry knowledge and licensed professional expertise, tailored specifically to the needs of the military retiree community. Unlike traditional financial planners or money managers who aim to be a jack-of-all-trades, we focus solely on you. We’re not in the race to accumulate clients; our goal is to connect with the right clients. We understand the importance of a perfect fit, and if we’re not the best match for your needs, we’ll be upfront about it, ensuring you don’t waste a moment of your valuable time.
