      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Completes Annual IRA Training</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/02/2021 --  The Crash Proof Retirement team renewed their IRA certificates for the 2021 calendar year after attending a virtual Advanced Studies IRA training event hosted by Pension Management Company on February 4, 2021. <br />
<br />
The all-day virtual event was presented by Philip Razzano, an IRA Consultant for Pension Management Company, who addressed new and existing IRA rules while refreshing participants about the changes that occurred in 2020 after the SECURE Act became law. Crash Proof Retirement Independent Educators and Staff participated in this annual training event to gain valuable, up-to-date information about IRA conversions, taxation, and required minimum distributions. One of the more anticipated changes highlighted by Razzano were updates to the life expectancy tables, which are expected to go into effect starting in January of 2022 and will impact how IRA owners calculate their required minimum distributions. <br />
<br />
Most working individuals put their money in retirement accounts and are unaware of how to utilize their savings once they reach retirement, making this training paramount in achieving peace of mind for the Crash Proof Consumer. "Each year the IRS changes retirement laws and makes it difficult for the everyday investor to be efficient with their retirement accounts," said Phil Cannella the Founder of Crash Proof Retirement. Studying how these laws are updated from year-to-year not only benefit the staff in their personal retirement saving strategies, but this training builds trust and establishes credibility in the relationship between the Crash Proof Consumer and their Independent Educators. Cannella concluded by stating, "We here at Crash Proof Retirement know: to play a good game, you have to know the game&apos;s rules." <br />
<br />
After attending this yearly educational seminar, Crash Proof Retirement&apos;s Independent Educators and Staff were certified and equipped with accurate information so they can serve the best interests of their Crash Proof Consumers. Independent Educators and Staff studied how the changes being implemented to the life expectancy tables will impact all IRA owners after 2021 and learned how to recalculate clients&apos; required minimum distributions when the changes take effect. By increasing the life expectancy calculations, IRA owners will effectively reduce the amount required to be withdrawn from their accounts each year. The Independent Educators and Staff engaged with Razzano to discuss the potential tax ramifications that the new IRA rules could potentially create for account holders.  <br />
<br />
It is not uncommon for investors to be uninformed or confused by the pages of IRA laws that govern their retirement accounts. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Joyce Reynolds" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=14&amp;v=k_qh43Dl2Io&amp;feature=youtu.be">Joyce Reynolds</a>, a retired teacher from West Palm Beach, Florida and Crash Proof Consumer stated, "I&apos;m going to have to start taking that required minimum out of my IRAs and my 403Bs and I&apos;m very concerned about that because I&apos;ve never been here before doing this and so it&apos;s a new step and I want to learn as much as I can on how to do it the proper way."<br />
<br />
This training is not required by law, but it is essential for the Crash Proof Independent Educators and Staff to expand their foundational knowledge and expertise of IRA laws so they can effectively and efficiently serve the best interests of their Crash Proof Consumers and bring peace of mind to clients who do not possess a strong aptitude for IRA rules and regulations. "It is very simple to put money into a retirement account when you&apos;re actively working, but when you retire you must be strategic in the way that you remove those funds," said Crash Proof Retirement CEO Joann Small. "As owners of a consumer advocacy firm, Phil and I believe that all of our staff should be armed with current IRA and retirement laws, and this training prepares our Independent Educators and Staff to be prudent and judicious with all of our clients&apos; retirement accounts." <br />
<br />
Razzano concluded the advanced IRA educational event by addressing rumors of a potential "SECURE Act 2.0" that is attempting to make its way through Congress. The Crash Proof Retirement Team encouraged a fruitful discussion about the proposed bill, most notably highlighting that the bill would raise the required minimum distribution age once again from 72 (set by the SECURE Act in 2020) to 75 years old. <br />
<br />
The Crash Proof Retirement Team believes that this training is one of the many fulcrums in achieving the mission of Crash Proof Retirement — to operate as consumer advocates and bring peace of mind to Crash Proof Consumers.

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Matches 401k Contributions for Third Consecutive Year</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/20/2021 --  Crash Proof Retirement, LLC continues to soar above and beyond in the financial industry and is pleased to announce that, despite the global pandemic, they matched their employees&apos; 2020 401k contributions at a rate of 144%. Following an incredibly successful performance in 2020, Crash Proof Retirement confirmed that this was the third consecutive year since 2018 that employees&apos; 401k contributions were matched at a rate higher than or equal to 100%. The executives at Crash Proof Retirement, including Founder Phil Cannella and CEO Joann Small have made it their mission to not only serve as advocates for their consumers by protecting their nest eggs, but to also advocate for their staff by helping them build their retirement futures. <br />
<br />
This level of staff appreciation is exclusive to Crash Proof Retirement and unseen in most industries as employers generally provide a contribution match of 50% up to 6% of the employee&apos;s gross earnings, according to a study conducted by Vanguard. Some companies like Tesla (see example below) do not offer any contribution match for their employees. These statistics highlight why Phil Cannella and Joann Small are industry leaders who care for their employees and are pioneering what it means to be a true consumer advocate in an industry that often operates without the best interests of their consumers or staff in mind. <br />
<br />
Company: Crash Proof Retirement                          <br />
Percentage Match: 144%                                    <br />
Gross Earnings Cap or Limit: No Limit<br />
<br />
Company: Tesla                    <br />
Percentage Match: None<br />
Gross Earnings Cap or Limit: None<br />
<br />
Company: Amazon                                           <br />
Percentage Match: 50%                                     <br />
Gross Earnings Cap or Limit: 2% Cap <br />
<br />
Company: Google<br />
Percentage Match: 50%<br />
Gross Earnings Cap or Limit: $8,250 Limit                     <br />
<br />
While 2020 was not a business-friendly year for many industries, Crash Proof Retirement prevailed, having their most productive year since 2010 and a 52% increase in client protection from 2019 thanks to the dedicated team of consumer advocates led by Cannella and Small. "This year&apos;s display of teamwork gave the company the ability to be the leader in matching employees&apos; 401ks to secure our staff&apos;s retirement futures," wrote CEO Joann Small in a companywide email announcing the match. The executive at Crash Proof Retirement cited the teamwork, professionalism, and substance of the staff by dealing with difficult and uncertain circumstances throughout 2020 to maintain the expected and deserved high quality level of service for their clients. <br />
<br />
The staff at Crash Proof Retirement were faced with numerous obstacles throughout the year in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic but met each challenge with tenacity and with one goal in mind — protecting their consumers with peace of mind throughout their retirement years. "It&apos;s commendable that our staff did not skip a beat during the pandemic. It&apos;s a reflection of our mission to bring peace of mind throughout our consumers&apos; retirement years," said Anthony Gryga, a Processing Associate for Crash Proof Retirement. <br />
<br />
Susan Eckhardt, who has been a Crash Proof Consumer since 2016 highlighted her appreciation for the work of the Crash Proof Retirement team in 2020, the year of the COVID pandemic. "This past year we&apos;ve appreciated over $41,000 in our whole system. I can concern myself with enjoying my retirement, I don&apos;t have to worry about my Crash Proof Retirement System." <br />
<br />
Additionally, Crash Proof Retirement also seeks to protect consumers from expensive nursing home and income costs with an education about the benefits of long-term care investments. Phil Cannella and Joann Small have also taken a vested interest in the healthcare costs of their staff. On top of the generous 401k match, the profound success of the Crash Proof Retirement team has allowed the company to match 100% up to $125 per month for employee&apos;s health savings accounts. In 2019, employers only matched 27% of HSA dollars, with an average monthly employer contribution of $74 per month, according to Devenir Research. These statistics undoubtedly and consistently show that Crash Proof Retirement is leading from the front to ensure that, not only their clients, but their staff as well have happy and healthy futures. <br />
<br />
These benefits go a long way to show the deep appreciation and care that the executives at Crash Proof Retirement have for their team of consumer defenders. "Our leaders, Phil Cannella and Joann Small, are making improvements every day and because of that, so much has changed at Crash Proof Retirement," said Chief Operating Officer Michael Stringer. "We&apos;ve developed a team of hard-working consumer advocates who are eager to be a part of the reason why our consumers can have peace of mind in retirement." <br />
<br />
Crash Proof Retirement is equally resolute to the retirement peace of mind of their clients, as well as their staff, according to Cannella who explained, "It&apos;s important to Joann and I that people come into a bright, cheerful office where our team members are going to be advocates for our clients. In the same respect, we try to be advocates for our team and seek out ways to spark a consistent positive attitude to achieve success." Cannella&apos;s referring to one of the many principles he has applied to Crash Proof Retirement since its inception. His five keys to success dictate that having a positive attitude gives you altitude, which brings gratitude. In turn, the gratitude cultivates the intestinal fortitude necessary to achieve your purpose; and it&apos;s that purpose that will propel you to success. <br />
<br />
The unique circumstances of 2020 presented the Crash Proof Retirement team with opportunities to grow personally and professionally and as a result, the company was able to reflect the team&apos;s efforts with generous retirement benefits that are few and far between any offerings in any other industry. <br />

      <title>William Penn Inn Event Highlights Long-Term Care</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/20/2020 --  The William Penn Inn, located in Gwynedd, Pennsylvania hosted a Crash Proof Retirement® Educational Event featuring <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://www.phillipcannella.com/">Phil Cannella</a> and Joann Small on Tuesday, February 11, 2020. <br />
<br />
With more than 160 in attendance, Cannella educated the audience about the benefits of long-term care protection, new rules in the SECURE Act that are changing IRA laws, and misconceptions about annuities. To open the program, Cannella and Small delivered a personal anecdote about their personal long-term care benefits. Together they described the overwhelming statistics that many older individuals – especially women – face the risk of being impoverished due to medical expenses in a nursing facility. The duo described this as one of the many reasons they decided to get covered themselves, as well as the freedom and security one receives when having long-term care protection.  <br />
<br />
"Instead of going into a nursing facility where you have 1 nurse taking care of 10 patients, wouldn&apos;t you rather be home?" questioned Cannella to the crowd. Cannella added, "People 65 and older have a 70% chance of going into a nursing facility, male or female, for three years or more." <br />
<br />
Guests were encouraged by the prospect of receiving care in the comfort of their home. Mitch Dratkin, a retired automobile salesman from Fort Washington, Pennsylvania witnessed the costs of nursing homes and assisted living communities. Dratkin recognized the importance of having long-term care and stated, "I want to have the resources to be at home and have somebody possibly come to my house and take care of me occasionally if I need it." He added that he would be more confident receiving care in a recognizable atmosphere, such as his home than in an expensive living facility. <br />
<br />
In an attempt to engage those who didn&apos;t believe that they will need long-term care assistance, Small added, "We hear, &apos;I don&apos;t have to worry about that because my kids are going to take care of me.&apos; Newsflash, they can&apos;t take care of themselves!" <br />
<br />
Cannella continued to educate attendees about the misconceptions surrounding annuities and the hidden dangers of the SECURE Act, which he argues is not secure for seniors. The audience received Cannella&apos;s message, nodding their heads, and taking notes while following along with his energetic presentation. Following the program, guests were encouraged to submit a scheduling form if they were interested in making an appointment with Crash Proof Retirement. More than 50 households submitted forms, while some scheduled an appointment on the spot. <br />
<br />
One individual, Paul Decker of Warrington, Pennsylvania was amazed when he heard about the benefits of long-term care. "I think we all know what long-term care in a nursing home is like. We&apos;ve probably all been – at some point in time – in a nursing home at least visiting somebody. They&apos;re terrible," said Decker.  When asked whether or not having long-term care in the home is worth the investment, Decker added, "It&apos;s a no-brainer."   <br />
<br />
Overall, the event sought to educate those in attendance about how the Crash Proof Retirement® System can keep investors safe from the volatility of the market, excessive fees from brokers, and most importantly the government. Guests were impressed with how they can live a "health-proof" life with long-term care protection, and finally, how to live "tax-proof" in a time when IRA and retirement plan laws are constantly being amended. <br />

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Renews 2020 IRA Expert Certificates</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/13/2020 --  Crash Proof Retirement analysts, staff, and independent educators recently completed the 2020 Advanced IRA Studies, presented by the Pension Management Company. <br />
<br />
Presented by Francis X. Krawiec, Executive Vice President of the Pension Management Company, Crash Proof Retirement employees and independent educators renewed their 2020 Professional IRA Expert certificates. Every year, the independent educators, analysts, and staff participate in an all-day IRA training to learn more about the complex issues relating to IRA retirement plans. In doing so, participants are kept up-to-date with new laws, regulations, and rules associated with their client&apos;s IRA accounts. This year&apos;s focus was zeroed in on the effects of the 2019 SECURE Act as well as proposed IRS regulations and how they will impact clients who have IRA accounts. <br />
<br />
Most notably, participants learned that the SECURE Act will impact the way that account holders will be able to leave savings in the form of legacy to a non-spouse beneficiary. With the elimination of the "Stretch IRA," non-spouse beneficiaries who have reached the age of majority will have ten years to completely withdraw funds from the IRA account. The SECURE Act also increased the required minimum distribution age to 72, an increase from the previously required 70 ½ years old. <br />
<br />
During the training, participants engaged with Krawiec to expand on the specific IRS changes that will go into effect in 2021. Krawiec stated, "[T]he IRS didn&apos;t just give us a new Uniform Lifetime Table for next year, they gave us a new Single Life Expectancy Table, as well." He went on to explain that updates to the tables will not be grandfathered into the new rules like the changes made under the SECURE Act. Therefore, individuals using either table to calculate their required minimum distributions will have to recalculate their distribution once the calendar turns to January 2021.<br />
<br />
Since the switch to the new tables are retroactive, Krawiec clarified that the updates to the Single Life Expectancy Table, "[Will be] a nightmare," for IRA owners and financial institutions. If an individual has been using the single life table for a number of years, when the rules go into effect in 2021, the beneficiary will have to recalculate their distribution by going back to the year they originally began taking RMDs and subtract one for each progressing year until the present date.   <br />
<br />
Participants collectively agreed that the training is informative and essential in providing clients with the best service possible. A 2008 quote from <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phillip J. Cannella III" href="https://www.phillipcannella.com/">Phillip J. Cannella III</a>, Founder of Crash Proof Retirement, LLC encapsulates the importance of the training. "The advisors in this country that don&apos;t wake up and don&apos;t start getting themselves trained in IRAs, they&apos;re going to be out of business," Cannella said. That quote has stood strong for a dozen years and reflects the dedicated service of the Crash Proof Retirement® System.  <br />
<br />
Krawiec noted that IRA regulations and laws are not always set in stone, as made evident by changes made in the SECURE Act and IRS regulations. By receiving Advanced IRA Studies, independent educators, analysts, and staff can properly and more efficiently advise their clients. Additionally, clients can maintain their peace of mind knowing that the team members at <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement, LLC" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/">Crash Proof Retirement, LLC</a> are Professional IRA Experts. <br />

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Honors Clients with Appreciation Night</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/03/2020 --  Crash Proof Retirement pulled out all the stops for their 11th Annual Client Appreciation Holiday Celebration which was held at Adelphia Restaurant on December 14th, 2019. Over 300 current <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/">Crash Proof Retirement</a> clients attended the event, which featured live musical performances from Harold Melvin&apos;s Blue Notes, Pete and Desiree Cannella, and Philadelphia-area 10-piece band Reign.  <br />
<br />
In addition to the talented slate of musicians, the guest list included some notable figures from the Philadelphia area including former Pennsylvania Senator Bob Rovner, Director of Marketing for the National Liberty Museum Peggy Sweeney, Bill Devereaux and Paul Heck (Director and President of The Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 1068, respectively), and executives from Entercom Radio, including Senior Vice President and Marketing Manager David Yadgaroff.<br />
<br />
Founder Phil Cannella, CEO Joann Small, and the entire Crash Proof Retirement team were on hand to show their appreciation to the guests who have placed their trust in the Crash Proof Retirement® System.<br />
<br />
"This is our thank you for believing in Joann and I, and our mission of changing how the financial industry is stacked against us," said Cannella to those in attendance.<br />
<br />
After saying a few words, Cannella took the time to recognize members of the Crash Proof Retirement team individually for all their hard work throughout the year, for the unique contributions they make, and for making it possible to protect the retirement nest eggs of thousands of people in or near retirement.<br />
<br />
Cannella then introduced the husband and wife team of Pete and Desiree Cannella; the two sang a duet that put the crowd in the mood for more live music.  After their performance, Bob Pantano, the beloved local host of WOGL&apos;s Saturday Night Dance Party came onstage to introduce Harold Melvin&apos;s Blue Notes, who provided music as guests danced and enjoyed fine dining.  Of course, that wasn&apos;t the end of the evening&apos;s entertainment, as Reign came on to perform dance floor favorites and keep the party going.<br />

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Donates $2,000 to Vietnam Veterans of America at Charity Golf Tournament</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/28/2019 --  For the fifth straight year, Phil Cannella, Joann Small, and the Crash Proof Retirement Team gave their support to the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) Chapter 1068 for their annual <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Andrew F. "Doc" Johnson Memorial Golf Tournament" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&amp;v=EcvWmwdYeuI">Andrew F. "Doc" Johnson Memorial Golf Tournament</a>, held September 16th, 2019 at the Pennsauken Country Club in New Jersey.  Thanks to their in-person support and a $2,000 donation, the golf tournament saw its largest turnout to date, allowing them to raise even more money that will be used to grant college scholarships to the children of Vietnam veterans from the New Jersey area.  Including this year&apos;s donation, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/">Crash Proof Retirement</a> has contributed a total of $9,000 over 5 years to the VVA&apos;s efforts and has also commissioned a trailer wrap to help them advertise and bring their message with them everywhere they go.<br />
<br />
Captain Andrew "Doc" Jensen was a respected Navy Chaplain who counseled thousands of Navy veterans over his more than 30 years of service.  In 2015, the VVA Chapter 1068 chose to honor his memory with a scholarship drive and charity golf tournament, allowing his spirit of mentorship to live on in the next generation.  Retired Army Veteran Paul Heck, President of Chapter 1068, and his officers were thrilled to have the Crash Proof Retirement team at their side during the event.<br />
<br />
"This is our biggest fundraiser… If it wasn&apos;t for Phil and Joann&apos;s backing here in this tournament, I&apos;m not sure we&apos;d still be doing it; I&apos;m not sure we&apos;d still be successful… Crash Proof [Retirement] has been a big help for us," said Retired Navy Veteran George Weiss, Vice President of VVA Chapter 1068.<br />
<br />
As always, Crash Proof Retirement founder <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://www.phillipcannella.com/">Phil Cannella</a> and his team were happy for the chance to give something back to their local community and show our nation&apos;s veterans that they are appreciated.<br />
<br />
"Thank you for allowing us to sponsor you guys because it gives us a chance to thank the veterans that really never got the chance to be thanked when they came back from Vietnam.  We certainly do have all of you in our prayers," said Cannella at a banquet held after the golf tournament.<br />
<br />
"Helping people is a big part of what we do here at Crash Proof Retirement.  We&apos;ve been a part of this golf tournament from the beginning, and we hope to continue our support for many years to come," said CEO Joann Small after the event.<br />

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Donates $62,000 to National Liberty Museum and Its Young Heroes Outreach Program</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/03/2019 --  Phil Cannella, Joann Small, and Crash Proof Retirement COO Michael Stringer were on hand at the Philadelphia Downtown Marriott for the National Liberty Museum&apos;s 20th Anniversary Glass Auction and Gala on Saturday, September 14th to make a donation supporting the NLM and its Young Heroes Outreach Program, which provides funds to empower local middle school students to identify problems in their own communities and take steps to solve them through service projects of their own design.  Including the total of $62,000 in donations made by Crash Proof Retirement, the event grossed over $700,000 that will be used to support the Museum&apos;s education and outreach programs, enabling the Museum to serve schools and communities throughout our region as they teach young people leadership, empathy, personal responsibility and respect for diversity.<br />
<br />
"The National Liberty Museum has benefited profoundly from <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://www.phillipcannella.com/">Phil Cannella</a> and Joann Small&apos;s generosity and commitment to our Philadelphia students, families, and teachers," said Peggy Sweeney, the NLM&apos;s Chief Development Officer, "Their incredible support of our youth leadership and development program called &apos;Young Heroes&apos; has been transformative.  They have made it possible for our educators to serve hundreds of children in underserved Title 1 schools with our intensive year-long program, which teaches kids personal responsibility, empathy for others, and the social skills that will enable them to succeed in school and in life.  We are very grateful to Phil and Joann for their passion for our mission!"<br />
  <br />
The event, held to honor the National Liberty Museum and its Founder Irvin J. Borowsky on its 20th anniversary, featured over 160 pieces of glass artwork made by renowned artists from all over the world and brought together hundreds of artists, collectors, and glass influencers for one live auction and three silent auctions. Mr. Borowsky began creating the Museum in 1995 after retiring from his career as the owner of a highly successful publishing company in Philadelphia. As the child of immigrants, he wanted to devote his remaining years to promoting liberty and building bridges of understanding among people of all backgrounds and nationalities. This year&apos;s Auction celebrated his enduring inspiration to make the world a more peaceful place.<br />
<br />
"Giving back to the community is a big part of what we do here at <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/">Crash Proof Retirement</a>," said Founder Phil Cannella, "We&apos;re so proud to have been a part of the National Liberty Museum&apos;s 20th Anniversary Glass Auction and Gala, and that the money we donated will be put to good use teaching today&apos;s kids the skills they need to become the leaders of tomorrow."<br />

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement to Sponsor National Liberty Museum's 20th Anniversary Glass Auction and Gala</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/10/2019 --  As part of their ongoing efforts to support charitable causes in the Philadelphia area, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/phil-cannella-founder/">Phil Cannella</a>, Joann Small, and The Crash Proof Retirement Show will be on hand September 14th, 2019 at the National Liberty Museum&apos;s 20th Anniversary Glass Auction and Gala to make a donation that will fund charter education programs for young people. Since 2014, Crash Proof Retirement has contributed a total of $197,589 dollars to the National Liberty Museum, a portion of which was used to fund the Young Heroes Outreach Program, which empowers students to identify and investigate social issues and take an active role in implementing civil projects to improve their own communities.<br />
<br />
"I think very highly of Phil Cannella and Joann Small," said President of the National Liberty Museum&apos;s Board of Directors, Brian Effron. "Their philanthropy goes beyond just the National Liberty Museum and goes to places like Children&apos;s Hospital of Philadelphia and other areas affecting children, which I find to be an exceptional approach."<br />
<br />
In the 2014-2015 school year, the first year that Crash Proof Retirement became involved with the National Liberty Museum, Cannella and Small&apos;s contribution helped sponsor 50 middle school students to participate in the Young Heroes Outreach Program for a year, free of charge. In the first semester of that year, they learned more about their first amendment rights and how they could use that knowledge to become better citizens. In the second semester, they put their studies into action by identifying a "liberty" issue in their own community and addressing it through a service project. In 2014, the Young Heroes launched a number of projects, raising funds for a homeless shelter, launching anti-bullying campaigns in local schools, and spearheading neighborhood cleanup efforts.<br />
<br />
The following school year, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/">Crash Proof Retirement</a> ramped up their efforts, sponsoring half of the students at Universal Vare Charter School to participate in the program. Vare&apos;s 6th-graders chose to address the issue of violence in and around their school campus, a problem that was all too prevalent in their South Philadelphia neighborhood of West Snyder. They collaborated with their teachers to organize a mentoring program with first graders in their school, visiting their classrooms at least once a week to help students with their work and act as positive role models. Through these efforts, they hoped to address the systemic problems at the root of violence and give the next generation the tools they need to solve problems using their words, rather than their fists.<br />
<br />
For the 2017-2018 school year, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://www.phillipcannella.com/">Phil Cannella</a> and Joann Small sponsored the entire Vare School&apos;s participation – 94 students in total – in Young Heroes. That year, the students chose to tackle the issue of gun violence in their neighborhoods, something that many of them had experienced personally. For their service project, these students created a school peace celebration involving school officials and engaged the local police department to help them more effectively combat gun violence.<br />
<br />
Crash Proof Retirement is excited to continue their partnership with the National Liberty Museum and look forward to making another big splash for kids in the Philadelphia community during the 2019-2020 school year.

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Holds First Educational Event at Abacoa Golf Course in Jupiter, FL</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Jupiter, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 04/16/2019 --  Retirement Phase Experts <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://www.phillipcannella.com/">Phil Cannella</a> and Joann Small of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/">Crash Proof Retirement</a> held their first of two retirement educational events March 26th at Abacoa Golf Club in Jupiter, FL.  Nearly 100 people attended the event, which is one of hundreds that Crash Proof Retirement has presented since 2001 to educate those in or near retirement about the potential pitfalls of stock market investing and the safe alternatives that exist.  With more events planned for the venue, including one on May 21st, 2019, Phil Cannella considers the first event a tremendous success and says he hopes to return to Abacoa Golf Club many times in the future for the opportunity to educate even more people about matters related to retirement investing.<br />
<br />
This event in Jupiter, Florida was a particularly special one for Crash Proof Retirement, as founder Phil Cannella unveiled for the first time a new chart outlining the types of safe financial instruments that make up the exclusive Crash Proof Retirement System.  Because many in attendance were hearing about these instruments for the first time, Cannella also went through each one individually, describing the purpose of each and how it fits into the big picture of the proprietary Crash Proof Retirement System.<br />
<br />
"Each instrument in the Crash Proof Retirement System has a specific purpose," says Phil Cannella, "Individually, they may not be able to provide the same results, but when they work together in concert, they can help everyday investors achieve their retirement goals in a safe, guaranteed way."<br />
<br />
The crowd listened intently as Cannella gave detailed examples of these instruments and how they can provide tax-favored income, tax-deferred growth, coverage for long term care, estate preservation, and more.  Many guests took notes as they realized all they ways in which they could apply this information to their own investment strategies.  In addition to documenting the inner workings of the Crash Proof Retirement System, Phil Cannella also went over other crucial information, including the hidden fees in mutual funds, the best kept secrets in the banking, tax, and legal industries, plus the history of depressions and recessions in this country and how it could indicate another economic downturn on the horizon.<br />
<br />
For anyone in the Jupiter, Florida area who is interested in hearing more about Crash Proof Retirement, another event is planned for May 21st at Abacoa Golf Club.

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Holds First Educational Event of 2019 at Adelphia Restaurant</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/19/2019 --  Philadelphia-area retirement phase experts Phil Cannella and Joann Small of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement" href="https://crashproofretirement.com">Crash Proof Retirement</a> held their first consumer educational event of 2019 at Adelphia Restaurant in Deptford, New Jersey on January 15th.  With over 160 concerned investors in attendance, the pair discussed topics like retirement planning and the risks associated with stock market investing during the event, which is one of hundreds that Phil Cannella and Crash Proof Retirement have held since 2001 to educate people in or near retirement about alternative financial vehicles that can protect them from losing their life&apos;s savings during a stock market crash.<br />
<br />
Phil Cannella feels the consumer-driven message of Crash Proof Retirement is even more important now, at a time when prominent economists are predicting the next market crash could be just around the corner.<br />
<br />
"Crash Proof Retirement&apos;s mission is about providing a comprehensive financial education to the people who can benefit the most – people close to retirement age who are still heavily invested in risky securities-based financial vehicles," says Phil Cannella.<br />
<br />
Major stock market indices fell into a tailslide at the end of 2018 with the Dow Jones Industrial average tumbling 5.6% and the S&amp;P 500 dropping 6.2% from the previous year, leading experts to call it the worst December for stocks since the market crash of 2008.  While the markets have been able to regain some of that lost ground in the first month of 2019, many industry insiders agree that this sort of volatility doesn&apos;t bode well  for investors whose retirement nest eggs rise and fall based on stock market performance.<br />
<br />
Retirement Phase Expert <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://www.phillipcannella.com">Phil Cannella</a> believes it may be prudent for investors to seek out safe alternatives to the stock market before it crashes again, especially if they&apos;re close to retirement age.<br />
<br />
"Financial forecasts for the next two years haven&apos;t been encouraging.  If you&apos;re not invested in secure financial vehicles, it could spell disaster for your retirement," says Phil Cannella.<br />

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Holds First Consumer Educational Event of 2019</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Boynton Beach, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/06/2019 --  As part of their continuing mission to educate consumers about safer alternatives to stock market investing, Crash Proof Retirement Show co-hosts <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://www.phillipcannella.com/">Phil Cannella</a> and Joann Small held their first educational event of 2019 on January 9th at Benvenuto Restaurant in Boynton Beach, Florida.  Over 100 concerned investors showed up to learn more about <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/">Crash Proof Retirement</a> and hear the details of Phil Cannella&apos;s unique retirement planning philosophy, one he believes could be the key to preventing retirees from losing everything in the event of a stock market crash.<br />
<br />
While Crash Proof Retirement has put on hundreds of educational events in the past, this one held a special significance, not only as the first event of a new year, but as one that comes at a time when Phil Cannella&apos;s message seems more relevant than ever before.  After a year-end correction erased 2018&apos;s stock market gains, many top economists have been predicting another market crash in the next two years that could leave the major indices plunging deep into negative territory.  According to Phil Cannella, anyone heavily invested in the stock market should have cause for concern.<br />
<br />
"Stock market investors lost out big time when the market crashes of 2001 and 2008 chipped away at their retirement accounts," says Cannella, continuing, "These people could have been protected from losses if they had known about Crash Proof investments that prevent loss of principle during a market downturn."<br />
<br />
Phil Cannella agrees with economists who believe the next crash could be right around the corner.  Smart investors, he believes, would be well-advised to take their money off the stock market and put it into Crash Proof Investments that will keep them from losing it all.<br />
<br />
As a retirement planner in Palm Beach County, FL, Phil Cannella has spent nearly two decades educating consumers about the Crash Proof Retirement philosophy.  He first began speaking directly to consumers at educational events held in restaurants around the greater Philadelphia area before expanding to venues all over the tristate area.  Cannella eventually widened the scope of his operation to include <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="retirement events in Boca Raton" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/retirement-financial-planner-in-west-palm-beach/">retirement events in Boca Raton</a>, Florida and other locations all over the country.  In 2008, he took to the airwaves, starting The Crash Proof Retirement Show, giving him the opportunity to reach thousands of listeners each weekend on the radio.<br />
<br />
Having recently celebrated 10 years on the air, Phil Cannella and Joann Small have no plans to stop any time soon.  Their first educational event of 2019 is the first of many planned for the year and the Crash Proof Retirement team is inviting you to attend.  Whether you live in the greater Philadelphia area or you&apos;re looking for <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="retirement planning in Lake Worth, FL" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/retirement-financial-planner-in-west-palm-beach/">retirement planning in Lake Worth, FL</a>, there&apos;s a Crash Proof Retirement Event coming soon to your area.  <br />

      <title>Phil Cannella and Joann Small Host Consumer Appreciation Night</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Deptford, NJ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/29/2019 --  In celebration of another year spent protecting the retirement accounts of American consumers, Crash Proof Retirement Show co-hosts Phil Cannella and Joann Small held a Consumer Appreciation Night at Adelphia Restaurant in Deptford, New Jersey on December 22, 2018.  In attendance were over 300 guests, including Crash Proof Retirement consumers, staff members, friends, and family who gathered for an elegant evening of food, drinks, and live music.<br />
<br />
The highlight of the evening included a rare performance from Philadelphia-area soul group The Stylistics, who have been performing since 1968 and had a number of hits throughout the 70s including "Stop, Look, Listen" and "You Make Me Feel Brand New."  Bob Pantano, host of WOGL-FM 98.1&apos;s Saturday Night Dance Party was on hand to give the group a proper introduction and set the tone for the remainder of the evening.  After their performance, The Stylistics posed for photographs and met with party guests, many of whom had been fans for years.<br />
<br />
"We were thrilled to see so many of our consumers and staff enjoying the evening," said Phil Cannella, "Crash Proof Retirement has such a strong connection to Philadelphia, so we thought it would be appropriate to invite these talented singers who have represented the city so well."<br />
<br />
"It was great to have a chance to speak to our Crash Proof Retirement consumers outside an office setting," added Joann Small, "Over the years, these people have become our family."<br />
<br />
The mission of Phil Cannella and Crash Proof Retirement began in 2001, when he discovered financial vehicles based in the insurance industry guaranteed to protect investors from losing their principal in the event of a market crash.  After having witnessed so many people lose everything in the market crash and resulting recession of the early 2000s, Cannella immediately recognized the value of these Crash Proof investments and got to work on spreading the word.<br />
<br />
After spending nearly a decade educating consumers about Crash Proof Vehicles, another financial collapse reared its head in 2008.  It was at this time Cannella decided his message was even more important than ever before; he took to the airwaves and started The Crash Proof Retirement Show as a way of reaching thousands more people every week.  For his co-host, he chose his business partner Joann Small, already a seasoned professional in the retirement planning industry, to provide a crucial female perspective and inspire other women to take a more active role in planning their financial futures.<br />
<br />
After more than 10 years on the air, Phil Cannella and Joann Small show no signs of slowing down.<br />
<br />
"We&apos;ll keep going until every person in America who is in or near retirement knows about Crash Proof Vehicles and how they can provide a secure financial future," says Cannella.<br />

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Show Celebrates 10 Years on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/28/2018 --  "The Crash Proof Retirement Show" hosts <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://www.ethics.net/member/1927/US/PA/King-Of-Prussia/19406/1003/Mr-Phillip-J-Cannella">Phil Cannella</a> and Joann Small were thrilled to celebrate their 10th year broadcasting on WPHT Talk Radio 1210AM this past Saturday, November 24th.  Since 2008, the duo has made it their mission to educate people in or near retirement about the pitfalls of traditional stock market investing and tell them about alternative financial vehicles without market risk.  Over the past decade, Cannella and Small have backed up their claims using independent research and dozens of interviews with top economists, consumer advocates, and high-ranking government officials.<br />
<br />
The Crash Proof Retirement Show began as the brainchild of Phil Cannella, who in November 2008 witnessed the chaos that came with the economic freefall that began just one month prior.  People in or near retirement, he noticed, were particularly hard-hit, as they didn&apos;t have the luxury of time to let their accounts recover.  As the creator of the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement System" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/">Crash Proof Retirement System</a>, Cannella knew these people&apos;s nest eggs could have been protected had they been advised to invest in safe financial vehicles rather than risky securities-based investments.  Never one to sit idly by, he sprang into action.<br />
<br />
Cannella had his first broadcast of The Crash Proof Retirement Show on November 23rd, 2008, and quickly gained a following in the greater Philadelphia area.  While he had already spent years conducting Crash Proof Retirement educational events at restaurants and other venues around the country, radio gave him another outlet he could use to spread his message of safe, responsible retirement investments to thousands more people each weekend.  Shortly after his first broadcast, he was joined by fellow consumer advocate Joann Small, who became a strong voice for women in the investment world, teaching them about the importance of getting involved in decisions about their own financial futures.<br />
<br />
The Crash Proof Retirement show became a huge hit among retirees in the Philadelphia area who appreciated the duo&apos;s straightforward, unbiased take on the retirement planning landscape.  During their time on the air, Cannella and Small provided unique insights, valuable commentary, and hard-hitting interviews with people in the know, like former Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick, FBI Special Agent and Cyber-Crime expert Brian Herrick, and Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies President Catherine Collinson, among many others.<br />
<br />
Through their research, interviews, and tireless efforts, Phil Cannella and Joann Small have successfully brought their message of smart, safe retirement investing to thousands all across the country, while Crash Proof Retirement has successfully protected the retirement accounts of over 5,000 retirees.  As The Crash Proof Retirement Shows makes the transition into its second decade, Cannella and Small show no signs of slowing down.  One thing is clear: they will continue to educate people in or near retirement any way they can until every retired person in America has a safe, secure financial future.<br />

The Crash Proof Retirement Show airs Saturdays at 11am and Sundays at 1pm on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT and Sundays at 8am on Legends 100.3 FM.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Michael Stringer<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/contact/1093127">Click to Email Michael Stringer</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://crashproofretirement.com">https://crashproofretirement.com</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=1093127&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Supports Rosie the Riveter Congressional Gold Medal Act</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/17/2018 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/meet-phil-cannella/">Phil Cannella</a>, retirement-phase expert and founder of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Crash Proof Retirement" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/">Crash Proof Retirement</a>, along with CEO Joann Small, are well known in the Philadelphia and South Florida areas for supporting causes that matter to them.  Now they&apos;re throwing their support behind a national movement named for World War II icon Rosie the Riveter which would award a Congressional Gold Medal to "Rosie the Riveters," representing all the women who went to work or volunteered in support of the war effort.  Cannella and Small hope to harness the collective power of their staff, supporters, and radio listeners to convince Congress to recognize the hard work of millions of women who gave their time and energy to assure an Allied victory in World War II.<br />
<br />
Cannella and Small&apos;s efforts are centered around the passage of House Bill S.2500, known as the "Rosie the Riveter Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2018." If passed, this bill would direct the House Speaker and President pro tempore of the Senate to award the Congressional Gold Medal, which would be accepted on behalf of all women who found employment or volunteered during the war.  The medal would be displayed at the National Museum of American History and would serve to inspire a new generation of women and girls to pursue their passions and find careers they can be proud of.  The medal would also be made available for temporary display at other venues and events associated with Rosie the Riveter.<br />
<br />
The driving force behind this bill is 92-year-old Mae Krier, an original "Rosie" who helped build B-17 and B-29 airplanes at Boeing in Seattle, WA during World War II. Krier has spent over thirty years working to have women recognized for their wartime contributions and in 2017, her efforts helped create the first national observance of Rosie the Riveter Day, which occurs annually on March 21st.<br />
<br />
"The millions of American women were amazing during WWII," Krier said.  "When they hired us, they didn&apos;t ask if we were a Democrat or a Republican, they asked us to help save our country, which we did.  Our Veterans will tell you that they couldn&apos;t have won the war if it hadn&apos;t been for all the equipment that the women made for them.  We deserve this Congressional Gold Medal and it shouldn&apos;t have taken our country 75 years to realize this."<br />
<br />
During World War II, the U.S. was left with a critical shortage of workers when millions of men were drafted into the war effort.  While American troops fought overseas, factories back home found they couldn&apos;t produce fast enough to keep up with demand.  These included not only domestic producers, but producers of war material as well, who needed workers to manufacture munitions, warships, planes, and more.  Seeing the plight of these producers, the U.S. government stepped in, providing an advertising campaign aimed at encouraging women to join the workforce.<br />
<br />
Their ace in the hole for this campaign was a plucky, bandana-wearing riveter who later became known as Rosie.  Although many different images of Rosie were used over time, an illustration by Pittsburgh artist J. Howard Miller proved to be the most iconic, now called the Westinghouse Poster.  This poster featured Rosie, decked out in red bandana and blue overalls, flexing her muscles and saying, "We can do it!"<br />
<br />
Decades after the war, Rosie the Riveter, as depicted on the Westinghouse Poster, stood the test of time, becoming an enduring symbol of American feminism and the economic power of women in the workforce.  The Rosie the Riveter Congressional Gold Medal Act aims to commemorate and preserve the rich history of this symbol and ensure generations of Americans have a chance to understand its power and its role in World War II.

      <title>Crash Proof Retirement Conducts Its First Educational Event at the Inn at Mendenhall</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>King of Prussia, PA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/12/2018 --  As part of their continuing quest to bring "Truth to the American Retiree," Phil Cannella and Joann Small conducted one of their Crash Proof Retirement Educational Events on September 11th, 2018 at the Inn at Mendenhall, making it the first time they have visited the venue. At the event, people in or near retirement took advantage of the opportunity to hear about Cannella and Small&apos;s unique retirement planning philosophy and learned how to apply that philosophy to their own retirement accounts.<br />
<br />
While this was <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Phil Cannella" href="https://crashproofretirement.com/phil-cannella-founder/">Phil Cannella</a> and Joann Small&apos;s first stop at the Inn at Mendenhall, it&apos;s far from being their first educational event; in fact, Cannella and Small have spent over a decade holding similar events at elegant venues all over the Philadelphia area, as well as in New Jersey, Delaware, South Florida, and other locations.  Cannella&apos;s goal, he says, is to protect the retirement accounts of the people he speaks to and give them the tools and education they need to make sound financial choices in the future.  <br />
<br />
To date, Cannella and Small have already conducted hundreds of events and Crash Proofed the nest eggs of thousands of retirees.  After helping so many people have a secure retirement, they have developed a reputation in the Philadelphia area for being consumer watchdogs and philanthropists who work tirelessly to improve the communities in which they live and work.<br />
<br />
So what&apos;s the secret to a Crash Proof Retirement?  While it&apos;s a bit too complex to explain in one short paragraph, Joann Small says the key lies in mitigating risk.  Many financial advisors like to push risky stock-market-based investments, even for people close to retirement when the truth is that most of them would be better served putting their money into safer alternatives that exist outside the securities industry.  These investments, says Small, ensure that principal is protected from losses while still allowing for growth that beats inflation.<br />
<br />
At their educational events, Cannella and Small back up their assertions using stock market data, exhaustive research, and exclusive interviews with economists, retirement experts, and high-ranking government officials.<br />

(RMI), a media company focused on bringing true, unbiased financial news to the American retiree.
