Life insurance with Living Benefits, Fixed Indexed Annuities

Right Time Financial

I specialize in working with individuals, families and businesses to set future goals and put retirement solutions in place. I have products that offer living benefits (the new life insurance) which gives my clients access to their death benefit without dying. People are living longer and surviving critical illnesses at a much higher rate these days. This allows them to outlive their retirement funds. Also, fixed indexed annuities that you can roll your 401k into and not have to worry about stock market losses. Ask about our products for youth that have tax free benefits that are less restrictive than the 529 plan. My services are free and I encourage any questions you may have.

<p>In celebration of our nation’s 250th birthday, the Dublin Historical Society has launched a project to collect memories of life in Dublin, California back in the day during the Bicentennial in 1976. We invite the public to share their photos, news clippings, letters, journal entries, maps, or other objects - from Dublin, 1976 - that can be digitized for our online storytelling exhibit and archives. </p>
<p>This effort aims to explore not only how Dublin, California residents celebrated America’s 200th birthday, but also how they lived in 1976. Through your own photographs and souvenirs, we’ll get a perspective of Dublin’s social, cultural, military, and business history - what it meant to be a Dubliner fifty years ago. </p>
<p>This event kicks off the Dublin Historical Society’s new digital archiving project using new software that will allow current and future generations to come to view our collection. You will receive a digital copy of your contribution(s) to this archive.</p>
<p>Please visit us on Saturday, May 9th, 2026, in the <b>Dublin Library’s Community Room</b>
from 10am to 2pm to help us create this online archive, a legacy for generations to come. </p><p></p>
