Today's topic is a really good one and timely: 25% annuity bonuses, 35% annuity bonuses. Is this stuff real? Is there actually a philanthropist at an annuity company, the CEO, who wakes up in the morning and says, "You know what? I think I'm going to give money away.

So, how much income do I need, you need, we need, all of us need in retirement? Never ask anyone that question except Stan The Annuity Man, because that is a layup for most salespeople. They'll try to sell you something.

Today's topic is a very good one and important. Annuity rates versus payout rates. Is there a difference, Stan? You're darn right there's a difference. You know what else is different? This really smooth Adidas T-shirt that I got from my PR team.

Today's topic is a good one. Are RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions) a forced annuity? I mean, should Stan The Annuity Man, America's annuity agent, should I look at my RMDs as a forced annuity type of income stream?

I'm revved up today because the topic is live off the interest until you can't. What am I talking about? I'm talking about current interest rates.

Today's topic is what I love about MYGAs, Multi-Year Guarantee Annuities. Yes, I'm wearing the "I Heart Annuity Haters" shirt today. People love it. Well, a lot of people say, "I hate all the annuities, Stan. I hate them because this guy said it in a print ad." Come on, man.

Today's topic is this question: annuity fancy or annuity contractual? Now, there are many types of annuities. You already own one. It's called Social Security. It's the best inflation annuity on the planet.

People are so focused on accumulating assets, which is relatively easy compared to the math you have to solve when you start drawing money out.

Today's question is, do annuity companies keep the money when you die? I always get this question and the statement, "I'd never buy an annuity because they keep the money. I don't like that." Well, I blame the annuity industry for that phrase.

Today's topic is a good one that you need to listen to. If you go to the bad chicken dinner seminar, expensive steak dinner seminar, Italian dinner seminar, whatever, you'll hear about this, and it's going to sound phenomenal.

Stan The Annuity Man, America's annuity agent, licensed in all 50 states, and, yes, this is not a drill. We're talking about retirement income planning using annuities.

We need to talk about your 401k. Is that enough for you to retire on? How do we know? How do we go about figuring that out?

The best thing you can do is to make 'easy buttons' and a way to enjoy retirement where you're not stressed out all the time when the market goes down.

What we're talking about today is rolling your 401k into an annuity. Should you do that? Could you do that? Why should you do that? Somebody's trying to make you do that. What's the answer Stan The Annuity Man? Let's get into it.

The majority of planning which feeds the mindset of this very uncertain world is always gonna default to denying today, and that’s not right because tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone. You gotta be a good steward.
