Today's topic is one that I've wanted to do for a long time, and I got a call the other day that triggered it. The topic is the realities of life with a 20-year certain or joint life with a 20-year period certain, Immediate Annuity, or Deferred Income Annuity.

Today's topic is interesting: how to talk to your spouse or partner about annuities and how to start telling them about contractual guarantees because most people, when you hear the word annuity, it either equals hate or it's a curse word.

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?

What is the most common use of an annuity? Well, to answer that question properly, as Stan The Annuity Man, I have to do a little bit of a history lesson. Annuities were put on the planet in Roman times as a pension-type gift for the dutiful Roman soldiers and their families.

Chapter two of your life or retirement, whatever that means to you, is when you just need money hitting the bank account to go live your life. You can go however long that's going to be. Chapter two is going to be about you. It's going to be about lifestyle; it's going to be about reclaiming your health.

So, what happens when an annuity owner dies before annuitization? It's a sad thought. Hi, I'm Stan the Annuity Man. Typically I'm bouncing off the walls, I'm happy, but we're talking about death, so I'm just going to bring it down a little bit.
