Today's topic is lifetime or interest income. I always say, "Well, you can't just say I hate all annuities." You know how people say all that? I had a person call me today, and this is a great story. Great guy, ex-military, it was, "Yes, sir. No, sir," which I felt kind of weird about because he was in his 70s saying, "Yes, sir. No, sir."

Taxes, taxes, taxes. The question is, how are Qualified Annuities taxed? Meaning that you have an annuity inside of your IRA; how are those annuities taxed? We'll talk about that. But disclaimer, do not take tax advice from agents and advisors and people who haven't gone to law schools, gotten tax degrees or CPAs, and passed courses for tax advice.

Hi, I’m Stan The Annuity Man, America's annuity agent here to answer the burning question and compare annuities versus life insurance.

And we'll talk about that.

Hello there. Stan The Annuity Man, America's annuity agent here with you, and today's topic is a good one. We will dive into what a Hybrid Annuity is and give some examples. Typically, when people say, "What's a hybrid?" I say, "Well, it's a mattress, a car, a plant." But in today's annuity selling environment, people are starting to make up words to sell annuities.

Today's topic is a good one. With all the cryptocurrencies and currency, this and that. And is the new administration going to create its own cryptocurrency? And are they going to make it all digital? And is it going to go global? And will it be a global currency, or will they take out my money? Are they going to tax me in real-time? All of that talk about currency and currency traders.

So, you asked how many beneficiaries you can have on an annuity. I mean, you must be from the South like I am. I'm from the Charlotte, North Carolina, area originally. I don't live there now, but my family is back there, and we have a huge family. I was thinking about that question, and while writing this blog, I'm like, "Hey, that makes sense. I'm assuming you've got this huge family."

I don't have a watch. I have an iPhone that I looked down at. But you asked, 'What's the best time to buy an annuity?' There's no good answer to that question, just bad sales pitches. Now we're going to go deeper than that. You can say, 'Well, that's not what I was looking for.' I understand that. I will go into that question from the standpoint of interest rates and what you're trying to solve.

Are you looking for an answer regarding annuities in long-term care? Many people have that on their mind because long-term care is kind of that gorilla in the room, that little guy on your shoulder that's like, "You might want to address that. You might want to check that box."

The topic of the day is Monte Carlo or Stanicarlo Simulation. And you're like, "Wait a minute. What? Monte Carlo?" "Let me tell you something, son, Monte Carlo. I used to have a Monte Carlo, and I loved that car. It was a two-seater, and the women loved it." Now I'm not talking about that, Chester.

Don't we hate rich people? Are you rich? I mean, are you the evil rich? I think we all are kind of when they start collecting taxes. So, the question is, do rich people buy annuities? Yes, some do, and some don't. It comes down to if they want to transfer risk. Now, the reason a lot of rich people are rich is because they're smart. Smart people like to transfer risk, and annuities are contracts that allow you to transfer risk.

Can you buy an annuity at any age? That's the burning question. The answer is yes, but the real question is why? Should you buy one just because you can buy one at any age?

How much money do you need for an annuity? That's the question, really? That assumes that you need an annuity. Don't assume. You might not need an annuity.

That's right, and they're not for everybody.
