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.

Before moving 401k money into an annuity, understand the tradeoffs, risks, and situations where it actually works.

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.

Today, we're talking about how to structure income for the future with annuities or annuity quotes, as they say. A good annuity quote is, will do not, might do. You buy an annuity for what it will do, not what it might do.

Caring for loved ones in retirement takes planning. Stan explains how income guarantees, beneficiaries, and annuity strategies can help protect your family.

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.
