Texas professionals are keeping more of their income. A MYGA keeps it growing.

A Texas professional paying no state income tax has a real advantage over peers in New York or California. A MYGA (multi-year guaranteed annuity) turns that advantage into tax-deferred retirement savings growing at guaranteed rates.

The gap nobody talks about

Three retirement income risks Texas professionals face

Texas professionals have a tax advantage. Maximizing that advantage through tax-deferred growth and guaranteed income products is a strategy most haven't explored.

💰

No state income tax means more to save — but most TX professionals don't optimize it

A Texas professional earning $150,000 saves $5,000 to $9,000 per year compared to NY or CA peers. Most allocate that savings to a 401k or taxable brokerage. A MYGA offers a third option: guaranteed rates with tax-deferred growth, with no market risk.

📊

Texas 401k investors face the same market risk as everyone else

No state income tax doesn't protect against a 30% portfolio decline in retirement. Texas professionals who've built significant 401k balances benefit from the same guaranteed-income diversification strategy as professionals in any state.

⏳

Texas retirement costs are growing alongside population

Texas is America's fastest-growing state. That growth is pushing up housing costs and living expenses in Austin, Dallas, and Houston. A Texas professional retiring in 10 to 15 years faces a more expensive retirement landscape than retirees a decade ago.

Common questions

Retirement annuity questions from Texas professionals

A multi-year guaranteed annuity (MYGA) pays a guaranteed interest rate for a set number of years — 3, 5, or 7 years are common. Growth is tax-deferred. At the end of the term, you can renew, convert to income, or move the funds. Current MYGA rates for 5-year terms are competitive with CD rates.
Annuity growth is tax-deferred at both the federal and state level (no TX state income tax). When you take distributions in retirement, only the growth portion is taxed federally. With no TX state tax, you keep more of each distribution than a NY or CA retiree.
Yes. A MYGA inside a traditional IRA grows tax-deferred and distributions are taxed as ordinary income — the same treatment as any IRA. A MYGA inside a Roth IRA grows tax-free. We discuss which wrapper makes sense for your situation.
Most professionals in their 50s and early 60s are in the window where annuities add the most value. You're close enough to retirement that guaranteed growth and income matter, but far enough away that a 5 to 10 year accumulation period creates meaningful compound growth.
No. APB Financial Architect is an independent insurance specialist, not a registered investment advisor or financial planner. The services here cover insurance products: life insurance, disability income, annuities, and voluntary benefits. For investment advice or securities, you'd need to work with a licensed investment advisor or broker-dealer. Insurance products are not securities and do not involve investment advice.
