050 Retirement Cash Flow from SPIAs

IN THIS EPISODE, THE ANNUITY MAN DISCUSS:
- Why we don’t care about the cash flow percentage that other sites put by their numbers.
- The best immediate annuities...and why they differ for everyone.
- Income floor vs. cash flow.
- Annuities as confidence products.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Annuity companies have the big buildings for a reason - they are not giving any money away.
- Immediate annuities are the granddaddy of all lifetime income annuities, the granddaddy of all annuities for that matter.
- SPIAs can be used in a non-IRA setting, as well as in IRAs.
- Annuity companies are not smarter than banks, they're just more regulated.
"Income floor is a better word than cash flow. Income floor is the guaranteed amount hitting your bank account every single month, regardless of who's in office, what's happening in the markets, what's happening in the world. It’s going to hit your account. " — Stan The Annuity Man

0:55

0:58

0:59
single premium immediate annuities so
1:01
how do those strategies work
1:03
and um for all of the podcast listeners
1:05
out there on all the major platforms
1:06
welcome to all the people
1:08
watching this on the uh fun with
1:10
annuities
1:11
youtube channel which is cool because
1:13
you get to see what i have uh for the
1:14
people in podcast land i got a
1:16
shining red logo jacket with a black
1:20
stand the annuity man hat
1:21
because i you know i wear everything
1:23
logo except for underwear
1:24
i think so i paused there i winked at
1:28
the camera for you podcast people
1:30
because that's the
1:31
that's the unknown but yeah what
1:33
happened this week
1:34
in this podcast came from a phone call
1:36
from a gentleman who eventually became a
1:38
client but he had
1:40
um he had been misled by another site
1:43
and so he calls me up and says
1:45
in the chester voice i'm at this other
1:47
side probably one of your competitors
1:49
i'm like stopchester first of all i have
1:52
no competitors i have people that are
1:54
chasing me
1:56
and that are trying to climb the
1:57
mountain and i'm sitting on top of the
1:58
mountain
1:59
but i don't have any competitors come on
2:01
that's crazy i'm staying the annuity man
2:03
america's annuity agent there are some
2:05
people
2:05
that are nice people and i'm sure their
2:07
wife makes a really nice peach cobbler
2:09
that's trying to compete with me but i
2:11
don't consider them competitors
2:13
so i mean did michael jordan consider
2:15
like rookies that guarded him
2:17
competitors
2:18
no of course not um i digress uh so you
2:21
know chester calls me up
2:23
i'm looking at this site and i'm getting
2:25
immediate
2:26
quotes and i'm getting these quotes on
2:28
single premium immediate annuities
2:31
and i need you to to give me the cash
2:33
flow
2:34
on that the cash flow percentage so i
2:37
knew exactly what chester was talking
2:39
about
2:39
there are some other sites that put that
2:42
put a percentage
2:44
like when you when you get an immediate
2:45
annuity quote they'll put a percentage
2:47
beside the immediate annuity quote
2:49
which is it's borderline
2:53
it's misleading at best but it's crap
2:56
you know it it's to me it's a little
2:58
fraudulent it's like tiptoeing up up to
3:01
the line
3:02
of being fraudulent because people think
3:05
that they're getting bond yields or cd
3:07
type yields so
3:08
let's for instance say that you know
3:10
he's a well this one's showing 6.13
3:14
cash flow uh okay great who cares
3:18
um that is a direct reflection chester
3:21
of your life expectancy at the time you
3:23
take the payment it's nothing more
3:24
nothing less you're not getting a
3:26
6.13 coupon on a bond which is why i
3:28
guess
3:29
kind i think that's that's what these
3:31
other sites are trying to do is make you
3:33
think that you're getting this
3:34
yield that is not yield that is your
3:37
life expectancy in a numerical faction
3:40
a numerical form with a percentage
3:43
beside it nothing more nothing less
3:45
so so chester wanted me to run the same
3:48
thing i'm like
3:49
seriously chester you want me to just do
3:51
the dividing for
3:53
you you want me to run this so i put my
3:55
assistant on it we
3:56
we just put those you know those numbers
3:58
beside the percentages and i sent it
4:00
back to him like
4:00
is this good we just hand wrote it it
4:02
wasn't anything nice i'm like this is
4:04
such
4:04
garbage and a waste of time um but he's
4:08
you know he liked that he liked looking
4:09
at that number i'm like
4:10
that's that's great you'll never see
4:12
that on my site trust
4:14
me i have the top site out there the
4:15
annuityman.com you can run your
4:17
immediate annuity quotes all day long
4:19
there and and i would encourage you to
4:21
schedule call with me
4:22
if you want to get down and dirty and
4:23
really do a customized plan because
4:25
there's
4:26
30 40 different ways to structure
4:28
immediate annuities you can ladder the
4:29
start date you can ladder the
4:31
um the the purchase date you can ladder
4:33
both you can do combination strategies
4:34
you can do leverage strategies
4:36
i mean listen i'm america's annuity
4:38
agent i've done this for a long time
4:39
i've forgotten more about annuities than
4:41
most agents will ever know
4:43
think about that for a second um so this
4:46
cash flow thing
4:47
it was the impetus for this podcast
4:50
because i'm thinking
4:51
cat come on i mean immediate annuities
4:54
were put on the planet
4:56
in the roman times as a pension gift for
4:59
the dutiful roman soldiers and their
5:01
families
5:01
that's that's where they came from
5:03
that's where the word annuity came from
5:05
from the the keyword annual which i
5:08
guess in latin means payment that's what
5:10
my
5:11
the ceo told me i guess she took latin
5:13
in high school i didn't but that's what
5:14
she told me and they've been sold in
5:15
this country for
5:16
for you know a couple hundred years at
5:18
least
5:19
but immediate annuities there's nothing
5:21
fancy about them
5:23
there's no annual fees there's no moving
5:25
parts there's no market attachments
5:27
the hit the the built-in and hidden
5:30
commissions are very very very very very
5:32
low
5:33
which is the reason that you don't see a
5:35
lot of bad chicken dinner seminars
5:37
um on you know on immediate annuities
5:39
because
5:40
the agents don't get paid a lot who
5:41
cares i think they're great
5:43
i mean we sell more than anybody on the
5:45
planet i guarantee you that
5:47
but the cash flow part threw me for a
5:50
little bit because
5:52
they are to me immediate annuities
5:55
single premium immediate annuities spies
5:57
whatever you want to call them
5:59
they should be the anchor and the
6:01
foundation
6:02
in conjunction with social security as
6:04
part of your income floor
6:06
as part of that amount of money that's
6:07
going to hit your bank account
6:09
every single month as long as you're
6:11
breathing and if you breathe forever
6:13
forever it's going to pay you forever
6:14
and oh by the way you can't tell me that
6:16
you hate all annuities you already own
6:17
one i just mentioned it this is called
6:19
social security
6:20
and it's the best inflation annuity on
6:21
the planet now if you wanted to
6:24
attach an inflation adjustment right or
6:26
a cost of living adjustment right or
6:28
increase to an immediate annuity like
6:29
you say well
6:30
well sound really like for it to
6:32
increase by three percent every year for
6:33
the rest of my life it sounds great
6:35
the annuity company doesn't give that
6:36
away they have the big buildings for a
6:38
reason they ratchet down that initial
6:39
payment so that
6:41
it's typically a six to nine year
6:42
break-even point on most age ranges for
6:44
you to make up for that
6:45
does that mean it's a bad thing no but
6:47
as maybe part of a ladder you do a cola
6:49
but you already own the best cola
6:51
annuity it's called inflation annuities
6:53
called social security
6:55
but from a cash flow standpoint i'd
6:57
rather you forget cash flow
6:59
forget that because that's misleading
7:01
especially how these other sites are
7:02
showing these percentage numbers
7:04
by the way when you see that and you've
7:05
heard this podcast now
7:07
and you you know that i don't like that
7:08
just that's garbage
7:10
tell them that's garbage if you're on
7:11
their site you shouldn't be on their
7:13
site you should be on my side because
7:14
you should be working with me
7:15
but if your brother-in-law works there
7:17
and you have to be there say remove that
7:18
that's misleading that's fraudulent for
7:20
the people that don't understand
7:22
annuities they think they're getting a
7:23
coupon
7:24
a bond coupon and for the journalists
7:26
and some advisors that are writing
7:28
the correlation are there they're
7:30
correlating bonds to annuities
7:32
give me a break that's a joke i mean and
7:36
i'm talking about some high level people
7:38
that people really respect and put on
7:39
the pedestal and they're really smart
7:41
they're never the smart they say
7:42
neutered no they're not
7:44
and they never want to get on a stage
7:46
with me because i will rip them up and
7:47
fillet them like a flounder factually
7:50
because with bonds you peel off the
7:52
coupon and that
7:54
underlying value goes up and down but if
7:56
you hold it to term
7:57
it's going to be there right with
7:59
annuities single premium
8:01
immediate annuities the income stream is
8:03
a combination of return of principal
8:06
plus interest and really the true value
8:09
proposition of an immediate annuity
8:12
is when you're in the annuity companies
8:13
pockets was that mean stand the annuity
8:15
man america's annuity agent that means
8:16
that
8:17
when the accounts at zero when you've
8:19
drawn it all the way down and
8:21
and the annuity company still has to pay
8:23
you they're still on the hook to pay i
8:25
have thousands of clients
8:26
that are that are still getting payments
8:29
um for years and years and years and
8:31
sometimes decades because they've
8:32
outlived their life expectancy
8:34
that's the true value of the proposition
8:36
of an immediate annuity or a lifetime
8:37
income stream annuity payment
8:39
with what whatever type of life lifetime
8:41
income stream annuity you choose and by
8:43
the way
8:44
immediate annuities are the granddaddy
8:45
of all lifetime income annuities the
8:47
granddaddy of all annuities for that
8:48
matter
8:49
but they have sister products called
8:50
deferred income annuities and qualified
8:52
longevity annuity contracts
8:54
that work just like an immediate annuity
8:56
the only difference is the start date
8:58
and with qlax
8:59
you can only use them in qualified
9:00
accounts but the bottom line is they all
9:02
are
9:03
are transfer the risk pension products
9:06
you're transferring the risk to the
9:08
annuity company
9:09
to pay you for the rest of your life
9:13
and you know immediate annuities is one
9:15
of my favorite products because it's so
9:16
simple
9:17
you can explain it to a nine-year-old
9:19
because i always tell people don't buy
9:20
anything you can't explain to a nine
9:21
year old no offense to nine year olds
9:23
seriously i mean they're just pure
9:25
transfer of risk and they're commodity
9:28
products meaning that
9:29
somebody cannot tell you that they have
9:31
the best immediate annuity there's no
9:33
such thing the best immediate annuity is
9:35
the one that hot provides the highest
9:36
contractual guarantee
9:37
and then you have to obviously feel
9:39
comfortable with their rating and claims
9:40
fan ability of which i will help you
9:42
with
9:43
but there's no best it's a commodity
9:45
product you buy immediate annuities
9:48
like you buy a plane ticket you put in
9:50
how you know where you want
9:52
where you want to go how much income you
9:53
want we can run it two ways you can say
9:55
here's a lump sum
9:56
how much will that produce or or how
9:58
much would it take to create this amount
10:00
of income every single month from a cash
10:03
flow
10:04
income flooring scenario
10:08
income floor is a better word than cash
10:10
flow
10:11
income floor means that that's the
10:14
guaranteed amount coming
10:16
to your bank account hitting your bank
10:18
account every single month regardless of
10:19
who's in office
10:20
what's happening in the markets what's
10:22
happening in the world it's going to hit
10:24
your account and when you hit retirement
10:26
age and there's 10 000 baby boomers
10:28
hitting that
10:29
age 65 every single day then
10:32
that's the guarantees that you want and
10:35
that's the guarantee that single premium
10:37
immediate annuities can provide
10:39
you just have to understand that the the
10:41
primary pricing mechanism on an
10:43
immediate annuity single premium
10:45
immediate annuity is your life
10:47
expectancy at the time of the payment is
10:49
your life expectancy at the time of the
10:50
payment i'll say it again
10:52
is your life expectancy or if it's joint
10:54
expectancies
10:56
at the time you take the payment
10:59
and this is the one i'm going to repeat
11:00
a lot interest rates play a secondary
11:02
role
11:03
interest rates play a secondary role
11:04
what did you say again stan i said
11:06
interest rates play a secondary role
11:09
and the reason i yell about that is
11:11
because i'm tired of the masters of the
11:13
universe
11:14
calling me up and saying i'm gonna wait
11:16
till interest rates move
11:18
because then i'll get a better payout
11:20
well that might be true even though it's
11:22
a secondary
11:23
role pricing mechanism but you have to
11:26
ch
11:26
if you're that master of the universe
11:28
then you have to factor in
11:30
all of those payments that you've missed
11:32
while you've been waiting on interest
11:33
rates to move
11:36
that's not a sales pitch that's a fact
11:38
that's a brutal
11:39
fact so when we're talking about income
11:42
flooring slash cash flow um
11:46
what i tell people is when you're
11:48
putting together your income floor when
11:50
you're when you're figuring out what
11:51
social security is and if you're
11:53
fortunate enough to have a pension and
11:54
if you're getting dividends or if you're
11:56
writing call options or or you got
11:58
rental income
11:59
or you got some side hustle that you're
12:00
making a few bucks what
12:02
what is that all total and then what do
12:04
you need in addition to that if you
12:06
don't need anything in addition to that
12:08
you don't need an annuity
12:10
okay for income you don't need to do
12:12
that um
12:14
but if there is a gap and you say well
12:16
you know we figured it out we need 1275
12:18
dollars a month to fill in that gap
12:20
then i'll run a reverse engineer quote
12:22
solving for that
12:24
that amount and and see who comes up
12:27
with the least amount of money from a
12:28
quote standpoint to solve for that
12:30
contractual guarantee
12:31
now the other thing that you have to
12:33
understand from a cash flow
12:35
income floor standpoint i was doing
12:36
quotes around the cash flow for all the
12:37
people on the podcast
12:38
because that drives me crazy um
12:42
you know you you have you you have to
12:43
understand that life expectancy does
12:46
drive that train
12:47
period at all times um and
12:50
in these commodity products um they
12:53
change every seven today
12:54
ten days like a gallon of milk the only
12:56
way to lock them in
12:58
like if you if if i sent you a quote and
13:01
you said i really like that quote you
13:03
can't
13:03
sit on it for two weeks or three weeks
13:05
you have to it that doesn't mean you
13:07
have to buy it but if you want to lock
13:08
in that number
13:09
then you have to make a decision and go
13:10
through the application process because
13:12
the only way to lock in the number
13:13
is for that application to be at the
13:15
carrier that you chose and for them to
13:17
assign a
13:18
a policy number um and then once they
13:21
sign the policy number and we can get
13:22
that done in a day
13:24
then we lock in that quote and then they
13:25
give you a grace period to transfer the
13:27
money
13:27
the other thing too that i hear a lot
13:30
which is
13:30
stupid to put it bluntly is
13:34
i heard one today where the guy called
13:37
me and he said my advisor said
13:39
never put any type of annuity inside of
13:42
an ira
13:43
any and i'm thinking of this pompous bad
13:47
suit
13:47
bad thai wearing person saying that and
13:49
going that's the dumb
13:51
that's one of the dumbest things ever
13:54
that person should stop
13:55
talking because they just become i'm if
13:58
that person talked for a while i just
13:59
become dumber listening to them
14:01
because there's a product called a
14:04
qualifying longevity annuity contract
14:05
that was designed by the irs and the
14:07
department of the treasury
14:08
for lifetime income used in your ira
14:13
it's designed for your ira it's designed
14:15
for the qualified account
14:16
so i'm assuming that this master of the
14:18
universe that said never to put
14:20
an annuity inside of an ira doesn't
14:22
understand that there's a qualified
14:23
longevity annuity contract that was
14:25
designed for that but when we're talking
14:26
about immediate annuities
14:28
single premium immediate annuities they
14:30
can be used in a non-ira setting
14:32
and inside of iras
14:36
and most of that we sell are inside of
14:38
iras why
14:39
because most people's money the lump
14:41
sums are in ira type settings
14:43
now if you buy an immediate annuity
14:45
inside of an ira
14:47
um and by the way let's talk about let's
14:48
just say you had a ira at vanguard and
14:50
you wanted to buy
14:50
an annuity from xyz company you know we
14:53
handled the paperwork and the transfer
14:55
so that the
14:56
the transfer from the vanguard of
14:58
fidelity where it's coming from goes to
14:59
the annuity company
15:02
non-taxable event does
15:04
not trigger any taxes i mean you'd be
15:07
surprised how many people though well i
15:08
can't do those
15:09
i won't pay tax you don't have to pay
15:10
taxes it transfers
15:12
but when you buy an immediate annuity
15:14
inside of an ira and you take the income
15:16
out
15:16
obviously you're you're paying taxes on
15:19
that
15:19
entire income amount not the total the
15:22
amount of income that's coming out and
15:24
you're paying those taxes at ordinary
15:26
income levels
15:27
that's just the way it is now the good
15:29
news about that is when you buy an
15:30
immediate annuity inside of an ira and
15:32
you take the income stream from it
15:34
that income stream fully satisfies the
15:37
required minimum distributions for that
15:39
asset
15:40
in the an immediate annuity so if you
15:42
let's just say you put 200 000 in an
15:44
immediate annuity and it's kicking off 2
15:46
000
15:47
a month just i'm just throwing that out
15:48
midair
15:50
then the required minimum distributions
15:53
is covered in full for that 200 000
15:55
in the immediate annuity you cannot use
15:57
any overage from that income stream
15:59
to apply to any non-annuity assets
16:03
so in a way it's turnkey inside of an
16:05
ira so for all the people that don't
16:07
know what the heck they're talking about
16:09
and say never put a nudity it's not
16:11
right
16:12
they are missing it they're missing it
16:15
from a lot of standpoints
16:16
and they're doing their clients a
16:17
disservice because they don't know any
16:19
better
16:20
and they're just spewing crap that
16:21
either someone told them that doesn't
16:23
know or they read from someone that
16:25
doesn't know
16:25
and i'm amazed at how many financial
16:27
journalists have no clue about what i
16:29
just said
16:30
they all believe for whatever reason and
16:32
the annuity industry's done a horrific
16:34
job of public relations
16:36
to allow people to think you don't put
16:37
annuities inside of iras and especially
16:40
income annuities period now the other
16:43
thing i want you to be very clear about
16:45
is with you know we're talking about
16:46
income flooring slash
16:48
cash flow i know this uh the title this
16:50
was cash flow using
16:52
single premium immediate annuities and
16:54
once again the reason it blows the top
16:55
my head off is these
16:56
other sites use this cash flow
16:58
percentage number as a bait and switch
17:00
misleading fraudulent way
17:02
to to try to sell single premium
17:05
immediate annuities but i'm doing a very
17:07
good job
17:08
of squashing that crap and that type of
17:10
sales pitch
17:11
because i think it's i think it should
17:13
be disallowed
17:15
i don't i don't like that i don't like
17:16
it when carrie is used or not some
17:18
carriers even use it on their paper i'm
17:20
like stop doing that
17:21
just just give the person the
17:23
contractually guaranteed income number
17:25
they're smart enough to figure things
17:27
out they're smart enough to know that
17:28
that's a lifetime income stream they're
17:30
smart enough to know that's a
17:31
combination return or principle plus
17:33
interest they're smart enough you don't
17:35
have to bait and switch people you don't
17:36
have to sales pitch people you don't
17:38
have to
17:38
bamboozle people to buy annuities in my
17:41
opinion
17:42
as stan the annuity man america's
17:43
annuity agent licensed in all 50 states
17:45
and the top agent out here
17:47
hey let's do something unique let's tell
17:49
the truth about the annuities
17:51
let's tell the truth about the contracts
17:54
they're contracts
17:55
there's no urgency to buy an annuity the
17:57
urgency is to understand what you're
17:58
buying
18:00
so with single premium immediate
18:01
annuities you know we can structure them
18:04
a myriad of ways
18:05
you know we can we can solve we can
18:07
ladder immediate annuities if you said
18:09
hey
18:10
let's come up with a cash flow slash
18:12
income floor way
18:13
of doing it we can say okay let's let's
18:16
buy
18:17
less dollar cost average that kind of a
18:19
dollar cost average approach
18:21
of let's buy an immediate annuity every
18:23
year for five years or less buy
18:25
uh let's buy a a an annuity either an
18:28
immediately a deferred income annuity
18:30
and have it started different intervals
18:33
you can do a myriad of things what you
18:35
have to do is answer two questions what
18:36
do you want the money to contractually
18:38
do
18:38
and when do you want those contractual
18:40
guarantees to start from those two
18:42
answers then i can provide
18:45
the top quotes using the annuity that's
18:48
going to provide the highest contractual
18:50
guarantee
18:50
just think of it like buying a plane
18:52
ticket unless you're on some rewards
18:54
program with some airline when you go
18:56
into an orbits or a price line or
18:58
whatever kayak or whatever
18:59
and you put in your you know here's
19:01
where i want to go here's how i want to
19:02
fly
19:03
here's how i want to get there here's
19:04
when it wants to happen and then hit
19:06
enter boom
19:07
and you see that you see the prices same
19:10
exact
19:11
thing when buying annuities especially
19:13
single premium immediate annuities
19:15
they're the ultimate commodity product
19:18
now don't get fixated on some company
19:21
that you love and you love their
19:22
commercial if you say i really love
19:23
their commercial
19:24
that's the one i want i want to buy do
19:26
not get fixated on that do not fall in
19:28
love
19:28
with the company fall in love with the
19:30
contractual guarantee
19:32
and that's the way to do it because you
19:34
know i'll tell you
19:36
um when you don't need to put your money
19:38
within a a company if i don't think they
19:40
can back up the claims
19:41
trust me but i always get this call i
19:43
got to call it a day and
19:44
you know there's some top kind of want
19:46
to name them because i get enough i
19:47
represent them i just don't want to
19:48
want to show fair favors because i don't
19:50
have any favors my favorite is the
19:52
highest contractual guarantee but the
19:53
really big ones the one that you know of
19:55
and
19:55
and you've probably heard their
19:56
commercials and the question was well
19:58
what if
20:00
you know this the big huge big huge
20:03
annuity company goes out of business
20:04
what happens stan the annuity man
20:06
america's annuity agent
20:08
my quote my answer is this if that
20:10
happens
20:11
then we are all in the grocery store
20:14
fighting in the bread aisle for that
20:16
cheap white loaf bread you know the
20:18
bunny bread that's what we're fighting
20:20
for we're fighting for it because at
20:22
that point there's anarchy
20:23
and he said well anyone can fail
20:27
listen to what i'm getting ready to say
20:28
because this is very very important
20:30
because we're talking about
20:31
income flooring we're talking about the
20:32
cash flow we're talking about
20:34
guaranteed income numbers monthly but i
20:37
want you to listen to what i have to say
20:39
annuity companies are not smarter than
20:41
banks okay they're not
20:43
they're not they're just more regulated
20:44
they're more handcuffed they can't go do
20:46
stupid things with your money they have
20:48
to have 100 of your money on hand
20:49
day one they have to buy investment
20:52
grade buns we can put on our tinfoil hat
20:54
and yell about investment great bonds if
20:55
we want to but
20:57
it is what it is okay they cannot be
21:00
risky with your money
21:01
and we have not seen a lot of problems
21:03
or hardly any
21:05
in the annuity industry i can name the a
21:08
couple
21:09
that happened 25 years ago and then one
21:11
in 2008
21:12
which leads me to the next thing the the
21:14
one in 2008 that got absorbed goes
21:16
quickly
21:17
quickly purchased by another annuity
21:19
company in order to continue
21:21
the confidence that annuities provide to
21:23
people annuities are transfer risk
21:25
products i think one of the best
21:27
protections you have
21:28
in addition to state guarantee funds and
21:30
all that stuff that annuities have
21:32
but i think my my personal feeling on
21:34
all this having done
21:35
having worked for dean witter payne
21:37
weber morgan stanley in um
21:38
in ubs and been at those high levels and
21:41
understanding how to do all that
21:43
and manage manage very very large
21:45
amounts of money bonds etc
21:47
but i think the best protection you have
21:50
with annuities for lifetime income and
21:53
income flooring and cash flow
21:55
is the fact that the annuity industry
21:57
knows
21:58
that these are confidence products and
22:00
they know that they can't
22:02
lose the public's confidence and they
22:04
know that they can't
22:06
uh they got to protect the golden goose
22:08
i've always told people if my mom
22:10
who's 82 in a whippersnapper ass
22:14
kicker excuse my french but she is
22:17
82 now walks six miles a day and she is
22:20
tough
22:21
but if she misses one annuity payment
22:23
trust me the annuity industry is over
22:25
why because she will be on television
22:28
the next day and say in her little
22:30
southern twang from stanley north
22:32
carolina
22:33
they took my money and they ain't given
22:35
my money and i ain't getting
22:36
i ain't getting no payments no payments
22:39
and it's over
22:40
because the annuity company knows they
22:43
cannot
22:44
mess with stan the annuity man's mom and
22:46
her payments they've got to protect the
22:48
golden goose so there's a lot of
22:49
self-regulation
22:51
and i think that's one of the most
22:52
important things that's never really
22:54
talked about
22:55
when it comes to the safety and security
22:57
of these
22:58
types of products you know people are
23:00
always just too flippant
23:02
and too stupid to just say little
23:04
annuities and there's ads that run i
23:06
hate all annuities who's running those
23:08
ads people that are raising money for
23:09
stocks and mutual funds
23:11
that don't make them bad people i know
23:12
those people they're good people they're
23:14
just
23:14
marketing but you can't fall for it you
23:17
just can't fall for it
23:18
because when it comes to when you're
23:20
retiring and we're
23:21
when you're putting together withdrawal
23:23
strategies and when we're you're putting
23:25
together your income floor and if you're
23:26
looking for
23:27
quote cash flow um annuities have to be
23:31
in the play
23:32
they have to be in in the game or sure i
23:34
mean
23:35
you've got they're the only product that
23:37
can provide a lifetime income stream so
23:39
you have to look at it as the transfer
23:42
risk contractual guarantees that they
23:44
are
23:45
and you have to shop all carriers for
23:46
the highest contractual guarantee so
23:48
you know just kind of to wrap this up
23:50
just a little bit what
23:51
started this whole thing was these sites
23:53
that show the percentages
23:55
forget the percentages that's not a bond
23:57
yield that's not yield that's a
23:58
reflection numerically
24:00
of your life expectancy nothing more
24:02
nothing less if if that floats your boat
24:04
and makes your socks go up and down just
24:06
say
24:06
oh my you know the numerical reflection
24:08
of my life is supposed to be 6.13
24:11
great then go to the bar and tell people
24:13
that but it doesn't mean a darn thing
24:16
the only thing that
24:17
that matters only thing that matters is
24:19
the contractual guaranteed income
24:21
number and shopping all carriers for the
24:24
highest contractual guarantee for your
24:26
specific situation
24:27
and better yet customizing that plan to
24:30
fit exactly how you want it to be
24:33
meaning that if you want you know if you
24:35
don't like your beneficiaries then you
24:36
do life only if you want your life
24:38
your beneficiaries to get the lump sum
24:40
when you die whatever's left over then
24:41
it's life with cash refund
24:43
if or joint life with cash free film
24:44
what however if you want them just to
24:46
get the payments
24:47
then it's joint life or life with
24:48
installment refund if you want a period
24:50
certain you can do that
24:51
point is it's customizable
24:55
all of it's customizable so i encourage
24:57
you go to my site get my books go to the
