An old Chinese proverb says "The longest
journey begins with a single step" So take the
firsl step. Begin your IRA now, even if it's less than
the maximum allowed. An annuity, incidentally,
makes the best IRA. Because only an annuity
guarantees a retirement income for as long as you
live. A Jackson National Life flexible premium
annuity also offers the benefits of:
• No sales charges
• No service or administrative fees with
minimum annual deposit
• Safety (Jackson National is rated
"A+" (Superior) by A.M. Best)
• Tax-deductible deposits, if you qualify
