Today's topic is a good one for me because this is the one that makes the top of my head pop off. This is the one that makes the veins pop out of my neck. This is the one when my producer saw me this morning before we got going, and they had to do makeup; I had this vein popping out of my eye.

Today's topic is a great one: How the Annuity Sausage Is Made. Now, I'm not going to go into the depths of the actuaries sitting in their closets, running the numbers, etc., but I'm going to give you the 30,000-foot view of how this all works, and it'll make sense to you once I get done.

Today's topic is, the perfect annuity does not exist. It does not. Even though you might have heard something at the bad chicken dinner, expensive steak dinner seminar, or some online product presentation where it sounded too good to be true.

Today's topic is the cost of waiting to purchase an annuity. Now I know what you're saying. Wait a minute. That sounds like a sales pitch. That sounds like some type of an angle for me to buy now, Stan. Are you pushing me to buy now?

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'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.
