Hi there, Stan the Annuity Man,

0:01
America's annuity agent, licensed in all

0:03
50 states in Puerto Rico. Founder of CGO

0:05
Contractual Guarantees Only. We only

0:07
consider annuities for what they will

0:09
do, not what they might do. Today's

0:11
topic is a good one. How annuities can

0:14
take care of your family. I'm going to

0:17
give you some personal insights on that

0:19
because yes, Stan the annuity man has a

0:21
family and I do use annuities to help

0:25
with that. We're going to do all of that

0:27
in detail after this.

0:35
All right. So, we're talking about how

0:37
annuities can take care of your family.

0:40
What are annuitities? Annuitities are

0:42
contracts. They're contractual

0:43
guarantees that solve for four things.

0:46
Those things are easy to understand

0:48
acronym called pill that I've developed.

0:50
P stands for principal protection. I

0:52
stands for income for life. L stands for

0:54
legacy. The other L stands for longterm

0:57
care. So, how how do annuities take care

1:00
of your family? If you know, principal

1:02
protection, income for life, legacy,

1:04
long-term care. Let me give you a

1:05
personal story. I have two daughters at

1:07
the time of this taping, 30 and 28. And

1:10
who knows if social security is going to

1:12
be here when they get older. And I also

1:15
know that as long as I'm here, as long

1:16
as I'm hitting on all cylinders, the

1:18
family's fine. All Yeah. Everyone's

1:21
fine. I'm going to take care of them.

1:22
It's going to be good. But when I pass

1:25
away, there are some things that need to

1:26
happen to take care of my family. My

1:29
wife, the lovely Christine, we call the

1:31
queen of 38 years. She could care less

1:34
about markets, annuities, anything

1:37
financial. She just wants to see the

1:38
kids, the grandkids, and travel to

1:40
Europe and all that stuff, which is

1:42
great. So, Stan, how do you do this for

1:44
your family? Well, like I said, as as

1:47
long as I'm okay, things are okay with

1:49
the family. But within the trust that

1:52
we've set up when I pass away, that's

1:55
the trigger point. Then there will be

1:57
single premium immediate annuities for

1:59
lifetime income purchased for both of my

2:02
daughters at that time when I die. Same

2:06
thing for my wife. She's going to she

2:08
can do what she wants. Obviously, she's

2:10
the queen, but I'm going to give

2:11
instructions for her to do the same

2:13
thing by a single premium immediate

2:15
annuity for that lifetime income stream.

2:18
If all of the migas that we own and

2:20
those are multi-year guarantee

2:21
annuities, fixed rate annuities, CD

2:23
annuities that the queen and I own that

2:26
just you know grow and compound tax

2:28
deferred. So that's how I use annuities

2:30
to take care of my family. Now there's a

2:33
lot of people out there that um you know

2:35
if like the queen and myself, she

2:38
doesn't care about anything in the

2:40
financial world. Now fortunately you

2:42
know the annuity man is a phenomenal

2:44
growth stock and it's doing fine. So, we

2:46
really don't need to put in place

2:48
lifetime income products right now, but

2:50
you might need to do that. Taking care

2:52
of your family means taking care of your

2:54
spouse. Taking care of your family means

2:56
joint lifetime income. Meaning that when

2:58
you pass away, the income continues

3:00
uninterrupted and unchanged for your

3:03
spouse's life. And we can put a backs

3:06
stop in there so that not one penny will

3:08
go to the annuity company. It'll go to

3:09
your family even though they the annuity

3:11
company's on the hook to pay for as long

3:14
as you're breathing. Remember,

3:15
annuities,

3:17
the primary thing they're going to solve

3:19
for for your family is lifetime income

3:20
because annuities, there's 10 types, or

3:22
there's four types of those 10 that

3:24
provide lifetime income guarantees. It's

3:27
the only product category on the planet

3:28
that does that. You already own the best

3:30
one, best annuity, social security, and

3:32
it adjusts for inflation. Fantastic. No

3:35
one says they hate social security, but

3:37
somehow everyone seems to hate

3:39
annuities. That's crazy. Lifetime income

3:42
is the game. Now, there are some

3:44
situations taking care of your family

3:46
might mean just principal protection.

3:48
That's another way that I do that for my

3:50
family wi with non-qualified money, you

3:52
know, profits from the company. The

3:54
queen and I buy migas in big big lumps

3:57
and it those those grow and compound tax

4:01
deferred in a nonirra account,

4:03
non-qualified chicken account type

4:05
money. But you can also use migas which

4:08
are CD annuities. I call them annuity

4:10
bonds because that's how they work like

4:11
a bond. but the underlying value doesn't

4:14
fluctuate. You can use them in Roth IAS,

4:16
regular IAS, but al but the way that I

4:19
do that for my family, maybe that's

4:20
something you need to consider is

4:23
putting it away. And if you want to peel

4:25
off the interest, you can. But if you

4:27
don't, it just grows and compounds tax

4:29
deferred. Now, that's what the queen and

4:31
I have majority of our money in. And you

4:34
got to say, well, wait a minute, Stan.

4:35
Your daughters are going to have this

4:36
big tax bomb at the end if you guys

4:39
don't do something with all those migas.

4:40
I don't care. they're going to be okay.

4:43
Okay, they can pay the taxes with the

4:44
huge lump sum that they're going to get.

4:46
But what I want to put in your mind is

4:49
the contractual guarantees of annuities

4:52
either for principal protection, income

4:54
for life, legacy, and long-term care.

4:56
The MA play that we're doing right now,

4:58
that's kind of a legacy play for the

5:00
queen and I. But you can also too with

5:02
long-term care, there are long-term care

5:05
annuities, not only simplified issue,

5:08
but also guaranteed issue that can cover

5:10
and help the family with those long-term

5:13
care type coverage needs. All right? So,

5:16
when you're thinking annuities, think

5:17
contracts. When you're thinking

5:18
annuities, you're thinking transfer

5:20
risk. When you're thinking annuities,

5:22
think about you and your family. Think

5:24
about what's going to happen when you

5:25
die. I know that's tragic, but think

5:28
about it. What's gonna what what needs

5:30
to happen contractually when you die?

5:32
What can you put in your trust as a

5:34
directive? That's got to happen when you

5:37
die. Like with me, the my two daughters,

5:40
they will have to via the trust

5:42
directives buy a single premium

5:44
immediate annuity for lifetime income

5:46
payments. Now, they might hate me

5:48
because they're not getting this huge

5:50
lump sum. They're getting other lump

5:51
sums. They'll be okay. But this is a

5:54
guaranteed pension payment. I think one

5:57
of the biggest gifts that you can give

5:58
to your family is is the gift of

6:01
lifetime income. I mean, that's

6:03
fantastic. I'll give you another example

6:05
that's interesting. I had a grandfather

6:07
the other day and he said, I you know,

6:09
he's like 81, 82, and he wanted to do a

6:13
an immediate annuity joint life with his

6:16
grandchildren. So, one for each and I

6:18
think they were like 7,9 whatever. We

6:21
did a joint life payment. you go, "Well,

6:24
that didn't make any sense then because

6:25
he's 80 and they're young and they're

6:27
the annuity company doesn't care about

6:28
him, but they only care about the kids."

6:30
Yeah, that's exactly right. That's

6:32
exactly how that took place. Now, we'd

6:35
have to get on the phone and I talk to

6:37
me about how how we did the taxes and

6:39
how we structured everything. But

6:41
grandpa wanted to put a lifetime income

6:44
stream for the kids in place. I'm

6:46
thinking about that now. I'm a newly

6:48
minted grandfather. Um, you know, my

6:51
grandson at the time of this taping is

6:52
getting ready to turn two. I'm sure down

6:55
the road I'm going to be doing those

6:56
type of things for my grandson.

6:58
Hopefully, he never works. I told

6:59
someone other day, there's not any

7:01
bootstraps in our family. There's not

7:02
going to be anybody pulling themselves

7:04
up for the bootstraps. Now, you're

7:05
you're saying, "Well, Stan, that's not

7:07
being a good parent. You're not teaching

7:08
the value." Screw that. Okay. I lost

7:11
years of my life grinding to get to this

7:14
point to be able to provide the umbrella

7:16
of capitalism that they in my opinion

7:19
deserve.

7:21
So how could annuities take care care of

7:23
your family? They can take care of your

7:24
family contractually.

7:27
Not hypothetically, not theoretically.

7:29
And in most cases, you're not buying

7:31
something now for them. You are buying

7:34
something in the future or something

7:35
that's triggered with the trust. Now,

7:38
there are some situations that there are

7:40
some special needs children that need to

7:42
be taken care of as well. The expert in

7:45
that I've done that uh for clients for

7:47
decades on how to set things up. Again,

7:50
as long as you're living, everything's

7:52
fine, but when you pass away, then

7:53
things need to be set up. And I work in

7:56
conjunction with CPAs, fee onlyly

8:00
planners, tax lawyers to make sure that

8:02
it's done correctly and so that your

8:05
legacy is just more than, you know, what

8:08
you've done namewise or in business or

8:11
at the church or whatever. I want your

8:14
legacy to be a little bit more financial

8:15
than that. We can do that, especially in

8:17
the income side. But I want you to think

8:20
about that. All right? Um, go to my

8:22
site, theanuityman.com. There's a

8:24
schedule call button that you can hit

8:26
and you can get me. If you want me,

8:28
demand me, you can get me. My schedule's

8:30
pretty tight, but I'd love to speak with

8:32
you oneonone about how to take care of

8:33
your family using annuities and using

8:36
the contractual guarantees that they

8:37
provide and using the transfer of risk

8:40
as peace of mind to provide that. Okay,

8:43
you can go to my site again and get the

8:44
books and download those books for free.

8:46
You can run quotes 247, 365. Last thing,

8:50
um I did a video and it's it's really

8:52
been popular. So, uh, I want kind of

8:54
pointing people to this one again is

8:56
what is better than an annuity in

8:58
retirement? Um, you'll see a countdown

9:00
clock and you should hit that and read

9:02
and and and listen to it or read it if

9:04
you want to see the transcript, but but

9:06
view it just because annuity sales

9:08
people are like, nudities are great.

9:09
They're the best thing ever.

9:13
Depends on your goal. It depends on your

9:15
goal. So, check that video out. I hope

9:18

9:21
help you out. had the biggest staff on

9:23
the planet lo located in Las Vegas,

9:26
Nevada. And I am here for you if needed.

9:29

9:31
