Hi there, Stan the Annuity Man,

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

0:03
50 states. Today's question is a good

0:05
one. It's actually um I think it's

0:08
relevant. How contractual annuity

0:10
payments can change your life? Sounds

0:13
sappy, sounds goofy, sounds like a setup

0:17
question. It's not. I really think um

0:20
this is something that

0:23
should be

0:24
expounded upon just because I think that

0:27
too many people are addicted to the

0:30
markets are addicted to market growth

0:32
are addicted to the fear of missing out

0:34
FOMO and they're missing the plot.

0:38
The plot is is is lifetime income. The

0:42
you know in chapter two of your life the

0:44
ultimate outcome should be lifetime

0:46
income.

0:48
period. We're going to talk about that

0:50
after this.

0:53
[music]

0:57
So, how how can annuity payments

1:01
change your life? Well,

1:04
lifetime income is a monopoly that the

1:06
annuity industry owns. Now, you wouldn't

1:08
know that because all they talk about

1:09
are Rio's variables and index for

1:11
growth. It never happens. If it happens,

1:13
it's random. So they're talking about

1:15
growth and non-g guaranteed returns

1:17
where and the crazy part is and market

1:21
and there will be business schools that

1:22
study this as the big one of the biggest

1:24
marketing blunders in in the indust for

1:27
all industries is that lifetime income

1:30
is what the annuity industry can

1:32
guarantee. It's the only it's the only

1:34
category that can provide income for as

1:37
long as you're breathing. Please don't

1:39
mention bonds. You're you're out of your

1:40
depth. Okay? Because I used to manage

1:42
them for Morgan Stanley. know what I'm

1:44
talking about. Lifetime income, lifetime

1:47
income is the game.

1:49
Lifetime income is the ultimate outcome.

1:52
And it can change your life. And the way

1:54
it can change your life is if you put in

1:56
that income floor to combine with the

1:58
other annuity that you already have,

2:00
which is social security, best inflation

2:03
annuity on the planet. So don't be

2:05
hypocrite and say, "I hate all

2:06
annuities." Yet you have social security

2:08
and it's coming in and you love it. Put

2:11
in that income floor. It will change

2:13
your life. It will change your life to

2:15
have money hitting the account that has

2:17
nothing to do with wars. That has

2:20
nothing to do with anything, markets,

2:23
anything. It's contractual. It's coming

2:25
in for lifetime income.

2:28
A+ or better carriers. So, A+ A++

2:32
or better carriers for lifetime income.

2:35
No exceptions. We're going to marry that

2:37
company to pay you for as long as you're

2:39
breathing and or on a respirator. If

2:41
it's joint life, it's going to pay

2:42
uninterrupted and unchanged to the

2:44
surviving spouse for as long as they're

2:46
breathing. And we can put back stops in

2:48
there contractually so that if you die

2:50
early in the policy, 100% of the money

2:53
goes to your beneficiaries.

2:55
Annuities solve for four things

2:57
contractually. The acronym is PIL. P

2:59
stands for principal protection. I

3:01
stands for income for life. L stands for

3:03
legacy. The other L stands for long-term

3:05
care. We're talking about the I part,

3:07
the income for life. Knowing that you

3:10
have payments coming in for your life

3:13
changes your life. Knowing that you have

3:16
income coming in for your life and your

3:18
spouse's life, even though you're not

3:20
here, but your spouse continues to get

3:23
the payments, changes your life. Setting

3:25
up lifetime income for children when you

3:28
pass so they will have a lifetime income

3:31
stream changes your life and changes

3:33
their life. I just had a gentleman was

3:37
the executive of a of a his sister's

3:39
will. His sister passed away and her

3:42
hope and dream was for her two daughters

3:45
that were middle-aged to get a lifetime

3:47
income stream immediate annuity. This

3:49
gentleman did that. He put that in place

3:51
for them. Changed their lives and by the

3:55
way changed his life. Feels good about

3:57
himself. He's up in years. He's a He's

4:00
an ex doctor. He's a nice man. He's a

4:02
good man. He's a solid man. He did what

4:05
was right for me, my two daughters, 30

4:08
and 28, when I pass away, there's an

4:10
immediate annuity that's going to be

4:11
purchased for them. It's going to change

4:13
their life. For a lot of people in this

4:16
country, I think it's over 60%.

4:19
Social Security is the only lifetime

4:21
income stream that they get. It's the

4:24
only payments that they get. They're

4:26
surviving off Social Security. Okay,

4:28
that's an annuity. It's the best best

4:31
inflation annuity on the planet. for

4:33
that to be available to our senior

4:35
citizens changes their life. And by the

4:40
way, politicians know that. And that's

4:42
the fifth rail that no or fourth rail or

4:44
whatever rail that is that no one's

4:47
willing to even go near politically.

4:50
Why? Because it changes people's lives.

4:54
Annuity payments change people's lives.

4:57
Additional income changes people's

5:00
lives.

5:02
It's amazing to me that people hesitate

5:04
to buy lifetime income. They try. They

5:06
look at it as an investment. It's not.

5:08
It's a contract. It's a contractual

5:09
guarantee. There's no ROI until you die.

5:12
Well, is this a good time to buy them? I

5:13
don't know.

5:14
Should I wait? Will it be higher if I

5:16
wait? Yeah, you'll be older. I'll

5:18
guarantee the payment will be higher

5:19
because you'll be older. It's life

5:20
expectancy, not interest rates. Well,

5:22
I'm gonna wait on the Fed. Well, then

5:23
you're an idiot. Respectfully, you're

5:26
focusing on the wrong thing. Thing is

5:28
life expectancy.

5:29
or Stan, I'm not gonna take it now. I'm

5:31
gonna take it take it five years from

5:33
now. Okay, great. Factor in those 60

5:35
payments you missed. How long is it

5:37
going to take for you to make those up

5:38
mathematically?

5:40
Annuity payments change your life.

5:45
People right now are buying MAS, a lot

5:48
of MAS, multi-year guarantee annuities,

5:50
which is the annuity industry version of

5:51
a CD. And you can protect the principle

5:53
and then peel off the interest.

5:57
I mean, that's what I do with my money

5:58
right now. 62 years old. I'm gonna go at

6:00
this as hard as I can for as long as I

6:03
can. Making one video a day. I'm 62

6:06
getting ready. I'm just rocking and

6:08
rolling. This is what I do. I love it.

6:10
But my wife and I have MAS. That's where

6:13
the majority of our money is. It's just

6:14
growing and compounding tax deferred.

6:16
But a lot of people are just taking the

6:17
interest off the top as payments and

6:21
protecting the principal. That changes

6:23
lives. I talked to a guy the other day.

6:24
He goes, "Stan, should I buy an

6:26
immediate annuity or should I buy a

6:27
MIGA?" I said, 'Well, immediate annuity

6:29
is like ripping a knob off a water

6:31
faucet. In this case, it's not water.

6:33
It's income and it's great. It'll pay

6:35
you for the rest of your life, but it's

6:36
going to draw down on the asset. I said,

6:38
"Do you have enough money to where we

6:41
can buy a MA and you could just peel off

6:42
the interest

6:44
and never touch the principal?" We ran

6:46
the numbers. He said, "Yeah, I think I

6:48
can do that. That'll work." I'm like,

6:49
"Well, he heck, that's that's what we'll

6:51
do. will not touch the principal and

6:54
we'll just peel off the interest and at

6:55
the end of the duration you still have

6:57
the money you put in. Boy, was he happy.

7:00
Change lives, right? There's no magic

7:03
that I'm doing out here. Just telling

7:05
the truth, being honest with people and

7:08
talking to them. If I had the perfect

7:10
product, that's all I do videos on.

7:11
There is no perfect product. There's

7:13
contractual guarantees. The question is,

7:15
what do you want? Do you need more

7:17
lifetime income? Most people do, except

7:19
for the ultra rich. The rest of us need

7:23
lifetime income in some form or fashion.

7:25
Whether it's immediate annuity, deferred

7:27
income annuity, a QAC, an income writer,

7:29
or if you're just peeling the interest

7:30
off a MIGA. Income is income and it's

7:33
great and it does change lives. I always

7:35
tell people this and I I'll close with

7:37
this. I always tell people fly first

7:39
class or your kids will. There's no

7:40
U-Hauls behind herses. Whereas I tell my

7:43
mom, buy the drink at she goes, well

7:46
Coca-Cola costs $5. Buy it. Live life.

7:51
There's three phases of retirement. Go-

7:52
go, slow go, and no go. You're, if

7:54
you're in go- go, go get it. Put the

7:57
income in place and go spend it. Most of

7:59
you have a spending problem. Lifetime

8:01
income annuity payments change lives.
