Hey, Stan The Annuity Man, America's annuity agent, licensed in all 50 states. Today, we're going to talk about annuity fees. Who else in the world is going to speak about annuity fees but me, Stan The Annuity Man.

Today's topic is a very good one, as usual. It's called Keep Your Powder Dry Annuity Income Planning. One of the biggest fallacies in the annuity land is people getting different information on the internet or from their advisors who know nothing about annuities.

Should you take a pension lump sum or an annuity? I'm assuming that you've been offered that. You have reached the finish line, you're going to retire, and you need to decide which is best and if an annuity outside, like on the street, is better for you and what probably most agents are telling you to do.

Today's topic is a good one. That's the reason you clicked it, right? How annuities can help you achieve your retirement goals. Easy for me to say. Now, for all you haters who clicked it and said, "That's not happening with me, man. That's not going to happen." It's already happening, player.

Today, we are discussing Deferred Income Annuities. What's the definition of a Deferred Income Annuity? Some people call them longevity annuities because they solve for longevity risk. What longevity risk really means is not outliving your money, and that's what a Deferred Income Annuity does.

Today's topic is a very, very important one, not only for the consumer but also for the annuity industry. The topic is: there is no sweet spot for annuity purchases. There's no perfect time to buy one.

You ask a good question: What's the best annuity for me? You know what? The answer could be none. We're going to go through all annuity types and answer a bunch of questions, and at the end, you're going to make a good decision on whether an annuity fits you or not.

Today's topic is a good one and important because people make mistakes when they purchase annuities. They believe something that's true, that's being told to them, that's really not. Annuity agents or advisors are either not detailed enough, don't really know, or play semantics, word games, when they talk about Income Riders.

Today's topic is a very good one, and the title is Transfer Your Risk to Annuity Contractual Guarantees. This is very important in the current sales environment of most annuity bad chicken dinners and expensive steak dinner seminar sales pitches.

Hi, Stan The Annuity Man here. I'm America's annuity agent licensed in all 50 states. Did you know that I love lifetime income? That's what we're talking about today. I mean, I'm the only one that's wearing it on my sleeve, as they say.

Today's topic is a good one. What is the purpose of reverse engineering annuity quotes? He's saying, "Reverse engineers. Stan, you don't look like an engineer. You don't act like one." I'm not an engineer. My wife said the other day at the Hoover Dam, "One of the worst jobs ever for you would be an engineer."

Today's topic is interesting: talking to your spouse or partner about annuities and telling them about contractual guarantees. For most people, when you hear the word annuity, it either equals hate or a curse word. I mean, they've heard nothing but bad things about annuities.

What we're going to talk about today is a call I get a lot from people who are too young to buy an annuity or who might be really old and not need an annuity. But we're going to talk about age. Is it too early to buy? How do you determine that? Can you time it?
