Retirement Guidance Built for Public-Service Careers

Different Careers Create Different Retirement Questions

Public employees often face retirement decisions that work differently from those in the private sector. Between pensions, deferred compensation plans, 403(b) and 457 accounts, retirement-income timing, and survivor benefits, many police officers, teachers, and firefighters across Chicago carry financial questions that generic retirement conversations rarely explain clearly. Game Plan Financial Solutions was built with a strong understanding of public-service careers, beginning with founder Ozzie Rodriguez’s own experience serving as a Chicago police officer before spending more than 14 years licensed in life insurance and annuities. From Chicago and Schaumburg to nearby communities like Arlington Heights and Des Plaines, the goal is to help public-sector workers organize retirement decisions into a plan that reflects how they actually retire.

Find the Career Path That Matches Your Retirement Questions

Police officers often balance pensions, deferred compensation plans, overtime income history, and early-retirement considerations that create unique retirement-income decisions. Guidance shaped by firsthand Chicago police experience helps make retirement planning conversations feel more practical, relatable, and easier to follow.

Teachers preparing for retirement may need help coordinating pensions, 403(b) accounts, survivor planning, and long-term income goals. Retirement guidance focuses on helping educators better understand how each piece works together without overwhelming financial jargon.

Retirement Planning for Teachers

Firefighters often face retirement questions tied to pensions, deferred compensation balances, healthcare planning, and income stability after leaving active service. Structured retirement-income discussions help simplify decisions and create a clearer long-term strategy.
