In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: Annuities for your spouse and loved ones Throwing darts at death Planning for cognitive decline Filling in financial gaps Key Takeaways: Using a trust, you can set up an immediate annuity purchase to trigger when you pass away to provide lifetime income for your spouse using a designated lump sum. You can use annuities to lovingly handcuff your young beneficiaries, providing them with guaranteed income instead of a lump sum. Buying an income rider, deferring it out, and setting it up as a joint-life policy is like throwing darts at death because you don't know when you're going to die. Death is not a good strategy. The problem with planning for something for your spouse in case of cognitive decline is that you don't know when you will have cognitive decline, especially if you are already in cognitive decline. You can set up a plan that will fill in financial gaps that your spouse can enjoy when you pass away, and it can be set up so that your death triggers it. However, you can also throw some calculated, contractual darts if that's what you prefer. "Now, while you're alive, if there's something like a pension or something that's going to be reduced upon your death, we should start planning upon your death to replace that gap for your spouse. That can be done at the time of your death - it can be triggered by your death. Or we could throw some calculated contractual darts. " — Stan The Annuity Man.

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: Solving for longevity risk Four products for lifetime income Focusing on guarantees Key Takeaways: There is no ROI until you die. Up until then, it's a transfer of risk to the annuity company to solve for longevity risk. The longevity risk is the fear that you'll outlive your money. An annuity will pay as long as you're breathing, even if you are on a ventilator. The annuity industry has four major types: Single Premium Immediate Annuities, Deferred Income Annuities, Qualified Longevity Annuity Contracts, and Income Riders. All four provide a lifetime stream as long as you are breathing or if you set it as joint-life, as long as you or your spouse is breathing. Forget all the shiny things that agents try to make you fixate on. Focus on the guarantee that you will get paid as long as you're breathing. You could also structure the contract so that your money goes to your beneficiaries when you die. "The good thing about turning on lifetime income stream and transferring that risk to an annuity company to pay for as long as you're breathing or on a ventilator is that it's turnkey. And there will come a point if we live long enough that we will need that income to be turnkey." — Stan The Annuity Man.

Bill Bengan published a study in the Journal of Financial Planning in 1994 that introduced the 4% withdrawal rule. His study recommended initially withdrawing 4% from your portfolio to ensure you will not run out of money in retirement. The financial industry ran with this recommendation ever since. JP Morgan projects the following on a typical portfolio: Withdrawal Rate Likelihood of not running out of Money 3% 95 - 100% 4% 85 - 90% 5% 65 - 70% 6% 40 - 45% If you increase your withdrawal rate, your likelihood of success decreases significantly. Current Guaranteed Lifetime Income withdrawal rates: - Age 65: 7.5% guaranteed for life - Age 75: 8.5% guaranteed for life - Rates increase if you are older You can increase your income significantly with 100% likelihood of success. You cannot outlive your income. This is the "Golden Era" of fixed assets. The best rates in 40+ years! Insured with guarantees. - Your Personal Bank policies are insured, with guarantees, income tax-free, highly liquid, and likely to increase returns for the next 5-10 years due to higher bond yields. - Fixed Index Annuities have the best upside potential in 40+ years with no downside market risk. The principle is guaranteed. Some offer signing bonuses up to 16% with strong upside potential. - Guaranteed Lifetime Income is the highest in 40+ years. Some products offer up to 30% signing bonus. Other products offer up to 10% increased guaranteed lifetime income each year you defer.
