Independent Benefit Solutions, LLC Prepares Clients for Life During and After Working Years

Agency helps people plan for their future and is a valuable resource for the upcoming Medicare Enrollment period beginning October 15.

One of the hardest things to plan for is retirement. Most people look forward to this joyful time in their life, yet are woefully unprepared for the changes in lifestyle, health and income that may happen. The two biggest financial fears people face before retirement are either not having enough income or depleting their assets too early because of taxes, longer life expectancies or an unplanned or prolonged illness.

Before individuals reach that decision, they should see Nicholas Pacheco at Independent Benefit Solutions, LLC (IBS). Located at 2050 Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence, Pacheco is a licensed, independent agent with more than 17 years of helping people plan and secure their futures. There are tax-advantage ideas and services that the company offers that benefit their client’s needs.

Pacheco said these values come from his passion for assisting others while providing top-notch services.

“From an individual standpoint, people have hopes and dreams that they want to live comfortably after they’ve worked throughout their lives,” said Pacheco, who was born and raised in Rhode Island. “Most people and traditional planning focuses on climbing to the top of the mountain, but hardly anyone focuses on how to come safely down. We teach our clients how a variety of tax-advantaged ideas can help them create a customized plan that will best suit their unique needs.”

Pacheco noted another issue that will attract attention during the next few months: Medicare. He said the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP) for individuals start on Sunday, October 15 and runs until Thursday, December 7. During that period, Pacheco offers free seminars to inform the public about changes in the various plans for the coming year. His agency also meets with their clients one-on-one to review their current Medicare plans to ensure they still meet their needs and budget, including “Part D” prescription drug plans.
