[SCENE: Opening with a smiling person gesturing enthusiastically to the camera]

VOICEOVER (Fast-paced, energetic): Hey everyone, are you 55 or getting close? This is a HUGE retirement game-changer you CANNOT miss!

[SCENE: Quick cut to a screen showing “Rule of 55”]

VOICEOVER: It’s called the Rule of 55! And it could be the KEY to unlocking your retirement savings early, penalty-free!

[SCENE: Short clip of someone looking worried followed by a clip of them looking relieved]

VOICEOVER: Normally, withdrawing from your 401(k) before 59 1/2 comes with a hefty 10% penalty. Ouch!

[SCENE: Animated graphic showing a hand taking money from a piggy bank with a “10%” sticker on it, then the sticker disappearing.]

VOICEOVER: BUT… if you leave your job at age 55 or older, you might be eligible to withdraw funds from your 401(k) in that specific plan penalty-free!

[SCENE: Short clip of someone pointing to a document or website]

VOICEOVER: Here’s the catch: You need to check your plan documents to see if it allows this. Not all plans do! And it only applies to the 401(k) at the job you left.

[SCENE: Split screen showing a “Pros” side with positive imagery like a sunshine and a “Cons” side with warning signs]

VOICEOVER: Rule of 55 – Pros: Early access to funds, flexibility in your retirement plan! Cons: Taxes still apply, and potentially depleting your retirement savings too soon!

[SCENE: Back to the smiling person gesturing to the camera]
