A real annuity rate with zero strings attached.
Get Started

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
it's around the the topic of cash flow

0:58
using

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
