President / Founder
Allen Gage is a Retirement Income specialist that has been licensed by the State of Ohio since 1980. He is the owner of Retirement Income Solutions, a practice devoted solely to retirement planning and asset protection.
Allen starts by asking what you want your retirement to accomplish — income you can’t outlive? Principal protection? Growth without scary downside? Then he walks you through your choices so you can make decisions with clarity, not pressure.
As an independent advisor, Allen is licensed with more than 20 carriers in the annuity and life insurance marketplace. Because he’s not beholden to any one company, his focus stays on finding what best fits you — not what fits a quota.
A lifelong local resident, Allen graduated from Cuyahoga Falls High School and Kent State University. He and his family live in Mogadore. Outside the office, he’s a semi-professional saxophonist with the Trinity Gospel Temple Orchestra and the Akron Big Band. He also enjoys classic cars, fly fishing, and cooking gourmet meals for family and friends.

Your Retirement, Built Around You
Our planning process is simple, transparent, and focused on protecting what matters most: your income, your lifestyle, and your peace of mind. We’ll learn what you want retirement to look like, design a strategy to support it, and then put it to work — step by step, at your pace.
Discovery
- We get clear on what you want retirement to actually do for you
- We talk income needs, legacy goals, health costs, taxes — real life, not theory
- We review where you are today: accounts, risks, and gaps
Strategy
- We design a custom income plan so you know what’s coming in, and from where
- We position assets for growth — with protection from unnecessary downside
- We cover taxes, Social Security timing, and survivor protection
Implementation
- We help you move from “plan on paper” to “income you can count on”
- We coordinate paperwork, transfers, and timelines with you — not at you
- We stay with you. Retirement isn’t one meeting — it’s a relationship
Why We Do This
Retirement isn’t just numbers — it’s lifestyle, dignity, and time with the people you love. For more than four decades, our focus has been simple: protect what you’ve built and help you enjoy it with confidence, not stress.

Retirement Income Solutions
Retirement Income Solutions was founded with the goal of assisting our clients in every aspect of their financial lives. We’ve provided the most personal service available, thus earning a reputation for excellence in our industry. For each of our clients we strive to help create financial stability and security to provide financial independence.
Our Commitment
Our staff consists of experienced professionals with a “hands on” approach to financial guidance. Not only do clients find our team members knowledgeable, but they also discover that our staff truly cares about making their dreams a reality. We do everything in our power to keep our clients focused on where they want to go, advise them on how to get there, and continually remind them of the importance of maintaining a disciplined approach to realizing their dreams.
Our Principle
Our company is based on the principle that education and understanding of one’s current financial situation is vital to successfully make prudent decisions concerning one’s future financial condition.
Our Mission
When we talk about the ways that wealth and financial stability can define the individual, it has little to do with a balance sheet, and more to do with a balanced life. True wealth is everything money can’t buy and time can’t take away.
Our mission is to work closely with you to design strategies that protect income, protect principal, and protect legacy — using plans built specifically for your goals, not generic templates.
