• Helps protect a surviving spouse from a decrease in income and increase in taxes
• Determines if there will be an income deficit in retirement, and if so, how much is needed to recover
• A way to avoid taking on too much investment risk on money needed in the near future
• Designed to simultaneously achieve safe, liquid money for immediate needs, consistent income and conservative growth for soon needs, and long-term growth and legacy planning for later needs
