The regulatory bodies, including the SEC and FINRA, have created stringent rules to help protect the consumers of the products of the investment industry. We respect those rules. That is the reason we present our potential clients with a fact-finding questionnaire early in our relationship so we can determine their individual risk tolerances and investment objectives. After that is completed, we can bring the full-range of qualified ideas to help satisfy our client's goals. 

The facts!  Sad but true.

Outlined here are some ideas, and by no means all, that could be helpful during your process of planning ahead for your retirement.
