In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  The four lifetime income products How annuities are priced  The simplicity of SPIA  Getting the highest guarantee    Key Takeaways:  There are four lifetime income products: Single Premium Immediate Annuities, Deferred Income Annuities, Qualified Longevity Annuity Contracts, and Income Riders that can be attached to Variable Annuities and Indexed Annuities.  Annuities are priced primarily on your life expectancy at the time you start the payment. Interest rates play a secondary role.  Deferred Income Annuities are, in essence, just a Single Premium Immediate Annuity that is deferred past a year. A SPIA has no moving parts, no market attachments, and no annual fees. It is a straight transfer of risk.  The highest possible payments you can have from an annuity are from a life-only annuity. This is the annuity for people who don't want to give to any beneficiaries. Companies often issue these without the option to change the start date, but you can change the start date if the contract has a cash refund or period certain attached to it.    "That income for life transfer risk strategy with annuities, typically four primary types SPIAS, DIAS, QLACs, and Income Riders. We can structure it so that you have the ability to pivot and change that income start date." —  Stan The Annuity Man.    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Options that annuities provide Living off interest  When to annuitize  Laddering interest rate movements    Key Takeaways:  Annuities provide more options than just immediate lifetime income annuities. There are various types like Multi-Year Guarantee Annuities, Index Annuities, Variable Annuities, and Deferred Income Annuities that can be used for different income needs. With current interest rates, it may be possible to live off the interest from a portfolio of fixed-rate annuities and CDs without having to annuitize and lock in a lifetime income stream. This can provide more flexibility. Annuitization should be viewed as a last resort option if interest rates drop significantly and living off the interest is no longer sufficient. It's important to maintain a diversified approach. When using fixed-rate annuities and CDs for income, it's recommended to ladder the products to avoid having to time interest rate movements. This provides more stability and flexibility.   "Annuitization at this point in time, for a lot of you out there that have large sums of money, is a last resort. And we will go there if rates move down, but if they remain at these levels at the time of this tape and they go up from here, then you're going to be able to, potentially, hopefully, depending on what your income needs are, take the interest and never touch the principle." —  Stan The Annuity Man.    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!
