Welcome to Fun with Annuities. I'm your

0:01
host, Stan, the Annuity Man, America's

0:04
annuity agent, licensed in all 50 states

0:06
in Puerto Rico, the founder of CGO

0:10
contractual guarantees only. Easy for me

0:12
to say, but it's important because we

0:15
only look at what what a policy will do,

0:17
not what it might do. And the will do

0:19
are the contractual guarantees of the

0:22
policy. Which leads us to today's topic,

0:24
which is it's catchy. It's something I

0:27
came up with as I'm driving down the

0:29
road. Annuization

0:32
is sweeping the nation. Annuitization

0:34
will sweep the nation. Annuitization is

0:37
embraced by the nation.

0:40
So, wait a minute, Stan. What's

0:41
anization? What does that mean in

0:43
English? It means to create payments.

0:47
Back in the Roman times, and no, I

0:48
wasn't around then. Zeke might have

0:50
been. Zeke's behind the camera. He's

0:51
from uh he's from Hawaii. Got the board

0:53
shorts on. He might have been around

0:54
during the Roman times. interview was he

0:57
would have known that the beautiful

0:58
Roman soldiers and their families that

1:00
were laying it on the line for the

1:01
empire were paid lifetime income

1:04
streams. That's where the foundation and

1:07
the origination of annuities and

1:09
annuitization comes from. Annual meaning

1:11
payment in Latin my my really smart

1:13
people tell me that and annuitization

1:16
products have been sold in this country

1:18
for over 200 years. My question is,

1:20
Zeke, you know, with the 250 year

1:23
anniversary celebration, check the date

1:25
of this taping that's coming up,

1:27
shouldn't we be celebrating

1:29
annuitization? Of course we should.

1:32
Lifetime income, lifetime income is a

1:34
pension. You can call it what you want.

1:36
Transfer of risk, longevity risk,

1:38
whatever that is. Annuitization has been

1:41
embraced by this nation for a very,

1:42
very, very long time. And you're saying

1:44
to yourself, "Oh, no, that's not true,

1:46
Stan, because I hate annuities. My son

1:47
hates annuities. My my neighbor hates

1:49
annuities. My wife, because I told her

1:51
to, hates annuities. Um, you already own

1:54
the best annuization product on the

1:57
planet. It's called Social Security. So,

1:59
don't be a hypocrite. You love

2:00
annuitization. You already do. And

2:02
annuitization with with Social Security

2:04
is fantastic because it actually

2:06
increases.

2:08
It increases with inflation because it's

2:11
political, not actuarial. By the way,

2:13
I'm contractual running 2028.

2:16
Zeke, I'm running for the presidential

2:18
nomination or the contractual platform

2:21
because annuitization is sweeping the

2:24
nation right now. At the time of this

2:26
taping, the life expectancy tables are a

2:30
darn bargain. Excuse my French for

2:32
saying the word darn because

2:35
in the future with artificial

2:37
intelligence, I think it's our friend. I

2:39
think if we asked Zeke, if we asked

2:41
artificial intelligence, they'd say,

2:42
"Yeah, we are your friend." Um,

2:45
artificial intelligence, one of the good

2:46
things it's doing is it's shortening

2:48
medical breakthroughs, meaning that

2:51
they're going to find cures or or

2:53
lengtheners, I just made that word up,

2:56
for cancer, diabetes, those type of

2:58
things, which means we're going to live

3:00
longer. In conjunction with that, the

3:02
GLP1, weight loss, stab yourself, take a

3:04
pill, lose 20% of your body fat group.

3:08
That's going to lengthen out our life

3:09
expecties. But what does that mean for

3:11
annuitization? What that means is that

3:14
the projected payments will be longer,

3:17
which means there will be more projected

3:19
payments, which means those payments

3:20
will be lower.

3:23
The annuity industry is salivating for

3:26
this because that means they're going to

3:27
make more money and build bigger

3:28
buildings. And I always say annuity life

3:31
insurance companies that issue

3:32
annuities, the reason they have the big

3:34
buildings, they know when we're going to

3:35
die. The reason that property and

3:36
casualty companies do not have the big

3:38
buildings, they don't know when the

3:39
hurricane or the tornado is going to

3:40
hit. So annization

3:43
has been sweeping the nation for a very

3:45
very very long time. Even for the people

3:47
out there that go, "Well, I'd never buy

3:48
an annuity because when I die, money

3:50
goes poof and annuity company keeps the

3:53
money." That's just not smart. Okay? So

3:56
stop talking. If you're going to say it,

3:58
say it in like a like a room by

3:59
yourself, but don't say it out loud in a

4:01
group setting because there's going to

4:03
be somebody that's watched my videos or

4:05
read my books and said, "That's not

4:07
true."

4:08
One of the fallacies and misconceptions

4:10
is that if you buy a annuitization

4:13
product, QAX, DAS, SPAS, deferred income

4:16
annuities, DAS, SPIA, single premium

4:18
immediate annuity annuities, QAX

4:20
qualified longevity annuity contracts.

4:22
Those are annuitization products. Okay?

4:25
Rip the knob off a water faucet. Water's

4:27
coming. In this case, it's it's lifetime

4:29
income. annuization. When we set it up,

4:32
99.999999999%

4:35
of the people set it up to where it's

4:37
going to pay for life. As long as you're

4:38
breathing, what if I lived 150? It's

4:40
going to pay. What if I lived 172? It's

4:42
going to pay. What if I lived 129? It's

4:44
going to pay. Okay? But when your Lejet

4:47
hits the mountain, when your car hits

4:48
the tree, when you when you fall down

4:50
the stairs and hit your head and die,

4:52
and that does happen. That does happen.

4:54
We set it up so that 100% of any unused

4:57
money goes to the family, goes to the

5:00
listed beneficiaries of the policy,

5:02
whether that's a trust or whatever, not

5:04
the annuity company, not the annuity

5:06
company, not the annuity company.

5:09
Okay? So, one of the things I on a side

5:12
note, Zeke, I was going to tell you

5:13
this. My mom's 87 and I always say to

5:16
people at that age, which is that's a

5:18
ripe old age, a ripe is a good word.

5:21
you're either going to, you know, if you

5:23
what's going to kill you most of the

5:24
time at that age is the flu or you're

5:27
going to fall. But if you have the flu

5:29
when you fall, it's a wrap. You're done.

5:32
So I want I you know I'm thinking Zeke

5:34
that I'm going to start a company that

5:36
that has like soft helmets so that when

5:40
they when they the senior citizens and

5:43
I'm thinking wait a minute I'm I'm

5:44
getting I'm headed into that that we'll

5:47
put on this helmet so that when we fall

5:49
and it's eventual that you're going to

5:51
fall okay um you're going to be okay.

5:55
You you still might have the flu but you

5:57
know when you have the flu and you fall

5:58
and you don't have a helmet on it's a

6:00
wrap. Okay. It is a wrap. Speaking of

6:03
that, Zeke, you know, when I travel the

6:05
the world talking about annuities and

6:07
I'm at these hotels, I read a stat the

6:09
other day of how many people die

6:12
slipping in on the marble floor. Of

6:13
course, Zeke, I'm staying in places in

6:15
the bathroom has marble floors. Okay,

6:17
I'm not playing around because you fly

6:19
first class, your kids will. But I read

6:21
the other day where a lot of people die

6:24
by slipping on the bathroom floor in

6:27
their hotel. And I'm thinking to myself,

6:29
I can see that. I could see that because

6:31
everybody out there, the older you get,

6:33
Zeke's young, he's vibrant, man. He's

6:34
like surfing and stuff. I don't know how

6:36
he does that in Las Vegas, but he does.

6:38
But the point is, you lose that balance,

6:41
right? Which leads us to this. You fall

6:43
down, Zeke, you hit your head, you don't

6:45
die, but you go into a coma. They put

6:47
you in the the the hospital, and you're

6:50
in a coma on a respirator, which means

6:52
I'm going to come see you once every

6:54
three months, okay? Because you don't

6:55
know anyway you're in a coma. But my

6:58
point is, if you've annuitized and you

7:00
have a lifetime income stream coming

7:02
from a single premium immediate annuity,

7:04
deferred income annuity, qualified

7:06
longevity annuity contract, the annuity

7:09
company's on the hook to pay. I call

7:10
this respirator annuities. So, some

7:12
actuator comes out and goes, you know,

7:14
we've been paying uh we've been paying

7:15
Stan a long time and he's like 140, but

7:18
he's been on a respirator for 37 years.

7:21
U yeah, I mean, that's that's as long as

7:23
you're breathing, they're going to pay

7:24
the annuity company. That's the transfer

7:26
of risk. And once again, annuitization,

7:29
you can have it start as as early as 30

7:32
days from when the policy is issued, or

7:34
you could defer it forever. I mean, you

7:36
can use deferred income annuities, uh,

7:38
annuitization annuities to lovingly

7:40
handcuff your children like I have to

7:42
where it starts at say when they're age

7:44
50 and it pays a lifetime income stream

7:46
because I don't think social security is

7:48
going to be around. Or you can use a

7:49
qualified longevity annuity contract

7:51
annuization product inside your IRA to

7:54
create a lifetime income stream and also

7:57
potentially lessen your taxes on your

7:59
required minimum distributions.

8:01
Annuitization sweeping the nation with

8:03
with 14 to 15,000 I don't know what the

8:05
count is of of people turning age 65

8:08
every single day. Annuitization will

8:11
sweep the nation even more. I mean I

8:14
have proclaimed 2026. Check the date of

8:17
this taping as the year of lifetime

8:20
income, the year of annuitization, the

8:22
year annuization will officially sweep

8:24
the nation and that the news outlets

8:27
will actually say Stan was right again.

8:29
I am right again. If you chapter two of

8:32
your life is about you. Chapter two is

8:34
not about market returns. You're buying

8:36
more gold and silver and Bitcoin all

8:39
that. No, chapter two is about you.

8:41
You've won the game. Why are you still

8:42
playing? Fly first class or your kids

8:45
will. As I always say, let us quote

8:48
annuization products or better yet, you

8:50
can go, you said, I won't talk to you.

8:52
Okay, that's fine. Go to my site,

8:53
theanuityman.com. Run the quotes until

8:57
your heart's content. Um, there's also a

8:59
lifetime income product called income

9:00
writers. That's not annuitization, but

9:02
it's lifetime income. Lifetime income,

9:04
your income floor is what's important in

9:06
chapter two of your life.

9:09
If you do want to talk to me, shoot me

9:10
an email. Stantheanityman.com.

9:12
Stantheanityman.com. And yes, I will be

9:16
in touch with you. I had a I had a guy

9:18
the other day shot me an email off one

9:19
of these videos and and I shot him

9:22
about, hey, yeah, you know, whenever you

9:23
want to talk, just let me use some times

9:24
and I'll work into my schedule. And he

9:26
sends back an email. I don't believe

9:28
that's you. That looks like AI. Listen,

9:30
AI to us, AI to us means actual

9:32
individuals. Okay? You're going to get

9:35
people here to talk to you. You can have

9:38
free consultations. Everybody in the

9:40
building is um licensed in all 50

9:42
states. But they're not on commission.

9:44
We're not we're not hammers looking for

9:46
nails. So annuitization sweeping the

9:48
nation. Absolutely. Annuitization's been

9:50
sweeping the nation for 200 years plus.

9:53
But we're getting ready to go into

9:55
really interesting times where

9:57
annuization will sweep the nation

9:59
because people going to figure out I

10:01
want lifetime income. I want chapter 2

10:03
to be about me. Okay? Or about chapter 2

10:06
is about you, right? That's what the

10:08
focus is. So that's fun with annuities.

10:12
I'm Stan the annuity man.
