🔓 Tax-Free Retirement Planning

Build Wealth. Eliminate Taxes. Retire with Confidence.

At The C & R Group, LLC, we believe the best retirement plans are built on strategy—not guesswork. Our Tax-Free Retirement Planning solutions are designed to help high-income earners, professionals, and business owners create long-term wealth that grows safely and distributes tax-free in retirement.

Led by Dr. Jose G. Cardenas, a retired U.S. Army Finance Officer and retirement strategist, we help clients integrate Indexed Universal Life (IUL) insurance and other tax-advantaged tools into their long-term income plan—so they never have to worry about taxes derailing their retirement.

💼 What We Offer

• Retirement Readiness Analysis
  We assess your current savings, retirement income projections, and tax liability exposure—then identify opportunities to shift taxable income into tax-free strategies.
• Indexed Universal Life (IUL) Design & Implementation
  We help you set up properly structured IULs that grow tax-deferred, protect against market losses, and allow tax-free income withdrawals later in life.
• Tax-Free Income Bridge Strategy
  Build a stream of tax-free cash flow to complement your Social Security, pensions, or annuities—reducing required minimum distributions (RMDs) and keeping your tax bracket low.
• IUL Funding Strategy
  We show you how to overfund IULs for maximum cash value accumulation—while keeping the policy tax-exempt under IRS guidelines.
• Retirement + Insurance Integration
  We coordinate your IULs with your 401(k), Roth IRA, annuities, and business equity to create a synchronized, multi-stream income plan.

🔐 Why Tax-Free Matters

Most retirees assume they’ll be in a lower tax bracket—but in reality, taxes often increase in retirement due to RMDs, Social Security taxes, and fewer deductions.

With our help, you can:

• Reduce taxable distributions
• Protect against future tax hikes
• Create legacy wealth that transfers income tax-free
• Maintain control over how and when you access retirement funds

🎯 Who This Is For

• Professionals and business owners earning $150K+
• Families with substantial 401(k) or TSP balances
• Real estate investors with equity-based retirement
• Military retirees supplementing pensions
• Anyone who wants to retire without IRS dependency
