Shootin’ It Straight with Stan®

Today's topic is gap-filling strategies before Social Security. I get a lot of calls from people in their sixties who are thinking about waiting until age 70 to take their income from the best inflation annuity on the planet called Social Security.

Today's topic is the pivot application process. I'm proud of this one. This is unique to us at the Annuity Man® and one of the reasons I would like you to consider doing business with us now. We have gone through tremendous growth here at The Annuity Man, and I'm humbled.

Today's topic is a tough one, a real one, and one you will have to address eventually. It's cognitive decline annuity strategies. I want you to listen to me closely here because I'm talking to all of you A personality kickers out there. You know who you are, male and female, that's hitting on all cylinders.

Today's topic is about booking your flight to annuity safety. I know you're saying, "That sounds good, Stan. That sounds like a T-shirt that you would wear. Book your flight to annuity safety. What does that mean?"Let me tell you what that means.

I have a controversial topic that will either make you mad, make you think or both. Hopefully, both; I want you to get mad about this because I want you to realize that what I'm getting ready to tell you is true if you think about it.

Today's topic is a good one, and it will make you think. Will more money change your life? I want you to think about that for a second. Would more money change your life? Would you buy a different car? Would you buy different clothes? Would you eat out more? Would it change your overall lifestyle?

Today's topic is, and it's a good question, is your retirement plan volatile or contractual? Are you at the whim of the markets, at the whim of wars and dictators and crazy people and missile launches and Bitcoin fraud? Are you volatile, or are you contractual? And I guess the better question is, which one do you want to be?

So glad that you joined me for this timely topic that's going to make a lot of people mad and make a lot of people question things, but it will make total sense when you hear it. The title is "When you Retire, You Need to Retire from Both Your Job, Your Work, and The Markets," so you got to retire from two things, work and the markets.

We are familiar with fake news. That's fake news; this is fake news, and what we've found out as a country is obvious bias with the news. At this point, when we hear news or read something a little bit outrageous, we just say, "Wait a minute, I wonder if that's true." Or, "I wonder what's behind that."

Today's topic is your principal protection trifecta. I'm talking about right now in volatile times, and there's always going to be volatile times, but there are pending wars right now, there's inflation, there's market volatility, there are elections coming up, there's always elections coming up, and people that are retiring are tired of it. They're tired of the volatility. They're tired of ups and downs.

Today's topic is, should you date or should you marry your annuity? Now the reason that I categorize it like that is people ask me all the time how I analyze the financial wherewithal of these companies. The claims-paying ability of these carriers.

Today's topic is, addiction to the market can kill retirement dreams. Your addiction to following the stock market and investing in the stock market and taking risks with your money can literally kill retirement dreams, especially in these volatile markets. I had a call the other day which prompted this topic.

Today's topic is, annuitization can now be your last resort when it comes to income. Let me explain that to you. Most people think incorrectly and even some advisors and financial journalists think there’s only one type of annuity; lifetime income, Immediate Annuity, and if you die, the annuity company keeps the money. That is ridiculous.

Today's topic is called Annuity Paralysis by Interest Rate Analysis. Suddenly everybody seems to be an Interest Rate Analyst and knows what Mr. Powell's going to do and what Ms. Yellen's going to say.

Today's topic is a weird one, a good one, a timely one, a needed one, and it is called Stop Living Your Life by the Tax Code. Now, disclaimer, I'm not a CPA. I'm not a tax lawyer. I do not give tax advice, and no advisor or agent should give you any tax advice unless they are a CPA or a tax lawyer or in some cases, CFPs have that certification, as well
