Making Annuities Great Again

When you saw the title, you probably thought this was about politics. Don’t worry, it’s not. MAGA doesn’t stand for “Make America Great Again.” It stands for “Making Annuities Great Again.”

That’s my mission. And it’s not about red hats or rallies. It’s about cutting through sales pitches, simplifying the process, and showing people the truth about what annuities really do.

The Real Annuities You Already Own

Most people don’t realize they already own an annuity. Social Security? That’s the best inflation-adjusted annuity on the planet. If you’re lucky enough to have a pension, like my parents did as schoolteachers, that’s another lifetime income annuity.

So, when people say, “I hate annuities,” what they really mean is that they dislike the sales pitches. The reality is annuities are already part of their lives.

The P.I.L.L. Framework

Annuities aren’t one-size-fits-all. They solve for four specific needs:

• Principal protection
• Income for life
• Legacy
• Long-term care or confinement care

I call this the P.I.L.L. framework. If what you’re trying to solve doesn’t fit into one of those four categories, you don’t need an annuity.

How We Make Annuities Great Again

At The Annuity Man, we do things differently. No steak dinner seminars. No “too good to be true” pitches. Just facts.

Here’s what that looks like:

• You can go to our site and run quotes anytime. Nobody will call you unless you schedule a call.
• Our team is licensed in all 50 states, and they’re salaried—not commission-driven.
• We represent all carriers. Annuities are commodities. The best option is a contract that suits your situation, from a reputable company, with the highest contractual guarantee.

And here’s something else. We don’t just look at ratings. We internally score carriers on how they treat clients administratively, how quickly they issue policies, how neat their paperwork is, and how they handle service. If a company can’t get that right, we don’t recommend them, even if their payout looks good on paper.

That’s part of making annuities great again.

Beware the Too-Good-to-Be-True Pitch

One of my core rules: if it sounds too good to be true with annuities, it is. Every single time.

Ignore the unicorn-chasing, pie-in-the-sky numbers you hear at expensive steak dinner seminars. Enjoy the meal, but don’t swallow the pitch. My mom, who’s 86, loves those free dinners. She shows up every week for the food. And while I appreciate anyone feeding my mom and her friends, don’t mistake a free steak for sound financial advice.

Education First

Making annuities great again means leading with education. That’s why I’ve recorded hundreds of YouTube videos, host the “Fun With Annuities” podcast, and run Q&A Fridays. It’s all designed to give you straight talk, not sales talk.

Because at the end of the day, you should make annuity decisions on your terms, on your timeframe, and with all the facts in front of you.

Closing Thoughts

MAGA isn’t about politics here. It’s about Making Annuities Great Again.

That means:

• Recognizing that you already own annuities through Social Security and pensions.
• Understanding the P.I.L.L. framework and what annuities actually solve.
• Avoiding hype and sales pitches that sound too good to be true.
• Choosing the highest contractual guarantees from solid carriers, with full transparency.

That’s the movement I’m leading. No rallies, no slogans, just the truth about annuities.
