Law Enforcement/Emergency Responders

Law Enforcement Officers and Emergency Responders literally put their lives on the line every time they go to work! As a former Law Enforcement Officer (Police and Corrections) and Emergency Responder (EMT - Volunteer Ambulance Corp in Westchester County) himself, John understands the pressures that go with the territory and vividly remembers what a thankless job it can be sometimes.  Whether you're trying to allocate your Deferred Comp Plan, determine how much you should be putting away for your financial goals (college funding, retirement, a first or second home, a special trip/vacation...) working with an advisor can make all the difference. Creating your personalized financial plan can help you determine your financial direction. J. Pink Associates can help.

At J. Pink Associates, a big part of our mission is to give back to our community by being a resource for financial matters among other efforts (like our "Cocktails for a Cause initiative). No one has a bigger impact on the safety and welcoming feeling of a community than Law Enforcement and Emergency Responders who spend their working hours (and more often than not, non-working hours, through various volunteering efforts) contributing to the communities they live in and serve. We recognize and are deeply grateful for that passion. While you give selflessly each and every day, working weekends and holidays in good weather and bad, we recognize that you have goals and dreams that deserve attention too!

What would you love to do if you weren’t headed to work each day? Navigating the New York State Deferred Compensation Plan can be difficult and confusing, leaving you with questions and a feeling of uncertainty. Our team is committed to helping you prepare for your best life, both in your career and for years afterwards.

Perhaps you're asking yourself:

“How much should I put away in my 457 Deferred Comp Plan?”

"What is the best option for taking my pension?"

“Am I putting away enough each paycheck?”

“I'm almost eligible for retirement, should I retire and find something else to do or should I just stay here? “                                  

“Are there any steps I need to take as I am preparing to retire? How long before I retire should I take those steps?”

"What happens to my benefit package when I retire?"

If you’ve found yourself identifying with any of these questions, we would love to start a conversation with you about how we can help. No question is insignificant!
