Leading the Retirement Income Planning Group, William Cunningham provides client-centered services as a Certified Long Term Care advisor. He and his son deliver Lincolnshire, Illinois, consulting solutions focused on those who have lost, or are at risk of losing, spouses to illness or dementia, and seek pathways to a steady, no-risk income for life. William Cunningham helps clients avoid the loss of a nest egg, often occurring in tandem with the loss of a loved one, and the considerable expenses of caregiving for those chronically ill.

Bill Cunningham’s background extends to service in the US military. He spent a tour of duty as a member of the Air Force. Accepting a position in Illinois with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in the 1980s, he hedged cattle futures. His present strategic focus is on proper money management. He excels in dividing assets into three segments, each designed to provide for income needs across five years.

Bill Cunningham’s commitment to the welfare of clients comes from an experience purchasing and relying on long-term care insurance, which proved invaluable in covering his wife Carol’s $8,000 in monthly caregiver expenses when she developed Alzheimer’s disease. A respected voice in his field, he writes on the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and financial and emotional well-being on the Substack "The Shrinking Brain.”
