Hi there, Stan the Annuity Man,

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

0:04
50 states in Puerto Rico. Founder of CGO

0:06
contractual guarantees only. You own an

0:07
annuity for what it will do, not what it

0:09
might do. Never be convinced to buy

0:11
hypothetical non-G guaranteed returns.

0:14
Question of the day is, how do you buy

0:16
an annuity with cash or nonIRRA type

0:19
funds?

0:20
We're going to cover that, the details

0:22
of that, and how we do that as a a team

0:25
start to finish, taking care of

0:26
everything, as they say, soup to nuts.

0:30
from start to finish and I'll talk about

0:32
that after this.

0:39
So, annuities, there's many types of

0:41
annuities. They solve for four things. I

0:44
have an acronym that's easy to remember.

0:45
It's pill. P stands for principal

0:47
protection. I stands for income for

0:49
life. L stands for legacy. And the other

0:51
L stands for long-term care. And then

0:53
also, I have two questions that I ask

0:55
everybody. What do you want the money to

0:56
contractually do? and when do you want

0:58
those contractual guarantees to start?

1:01
Now, most annuities can be used in Roth

1:04
IAS, traditional IAS, and using nonIRRA

1:07
money, which is what we're talking about

1:08
today. There's only one that can't be

1:10
used in in Roth IRA or or nonirra.

1:14
That's a qualified longevity annuity

1:16
contract that that's with traditional

1:18
IRA type money. But when you're looking

1:20
at cash, nonIRRA, savings account,

1:23
checking account type money, first of

1:25
all, you can't send a lot of cash. You

1:27
can't FedEx, you know, a bunch of stacks

1:30
of hundreds to buy an annuity policy.

1:32
You can't do that. But you can write a

1:35
check directly to the annuity company or

1:38
wire the money directly to the annuity

1:40
company. My team handles that from start

1:42
to finish. There's two ways that can

1:44
happen. Um, if you go to my site at

1:47
theanuityman.com, you can do online

1:49
applications for all of these products.

1:51
You can run the quotes anonymously

1:53
without putting in your information. But

1:54
if you decide to move forward and lock

1:56
in a quote, um you can do the the apps

1:58
online. Now, once we get that app, we're

2:01
[clears throat] going to give you a call

2:01
just to make sure you're a real person

2:04
just to validate information. Then we'll

2:05
take care of everything from start to

2:07
finish. Or you can if you talk with me

2:10
on a call, you know, I can set an

2:12
application appointment and somebody

2:14
from my team will call you. It'll be a

2:15
25m minute call. We do all of the

2:17
questioning over the phone and then and

2:20
then take the paperwork across the

2:21
finish line for you. We're not going to

2:22
send you a bunch of paperwork for you to

2:24
decipher, but looking at cash, nonirra,

2:27
etc. Just remember when we're doing the

2:30
application, we represent all carriers,

2:33
but the money never ever ever comes to

2:36
us or touches our hands or comes to our

2:38
office. It goes directly from where it's

2:40
located, bank, brokerage firm, wherever,

2:44
directly to the annuity company that you

2:46
choose.

2:48
We're just going to facilitate that.

2:50
We're going to make sure it goes

2:51
smoothly. We're going to make sure it

2:53
goes from one to the other. And what we

2:55
do that's unique that I don't think

2:58
anyone else does. If your bank or

3:00
brokerage firm or somebody um you know,

3:02
if they if they charge some some random

3:05
fee, you know, we have no problem, you

3:06
know, talking to you about maybe

3:08
reimbursing that. We don't do that all

3:09
the time, but in some cases where where

3:11
they're just being, you know, typically

3:13
we can talk the the banks and those

3:15
people out of those fees. Those those

3:16
fees don't make sense. It's just a it's

3:18
a keystroke. Um, but there's no fees or

3:21
hidden fees or gotcha fees to move the

3:23
money from from where it's at now to the

3:26
annuity company that you choose. Okay.

3:29
Our role is to,

3:32
you know, establish the account. You

3:34
know, if you do it online, we're just

3:35
going to call to verify. If you do it

3:37
through us, it's 25m minute phone call.

3:39
We're going to put all of that together.

3:41
We're going to send it to you for

3:42
review. You're going to sign it, send it

3:44
back. Typically, that is docuign type

3:47
stuff encrypted. And then we're going to

3:49
establish a policy number with the with

3:51
the annuity company that you choose. And

3:53
then we're going to coordinate the

3:55
movement of the money where it is now to

3:56
the annuity company.

3:59
We're going to keep you updated on all

4:01
that from start to finish and let you

4:03
know when the policyy's issued.

4:04
Typically that policy is hard copy and

4:06
then we FedEx it to you. They send it to

4:08
us and then we FedEx it to you.

4:11
You're going to have online access at

4:13
the annuity company that you choose

4:14
because that's where your money's

4:15
located. We just simply take care of all

4:17
of that nasty paperwork. I hate doing

4:20
paperwork. I mean, if you if you hate

4:23
doing paperwork more than I do, then

4:25
that's that's a big lift because I hate

4:27
it. And one of the things I did when I I

4:30
started this company is I made sure that

4:33
the customer didn't get inundated with

4:36
having to decipher where to sign and all

4:38
that stuff. We do that. We do that for

4:41
you. You know, you don't have to

4:43
interact with the annuity company. We do

4:45
that for you. If you need beneficiary

4:47
changes, we do that for you. If you need

4:49
income to start at a certain date, we do

4:51
that for you. We coordinate it. We do

4:53
all of it. If there's an address change,

4:55
we do that for you. I always tell

4:58
people, you don't want to call 1800

5:00
Annuity Company and be on hold for an

5:02
hour. Give give us the task. We have

5:04
different phone numbers than you do

5:05
because of who we are and we can get it

5:07
done quickly for you. But how do you buy

5:10
an annuity using cash, nonirra, checking

5:14
account, savings account type money?

5:16
That's the easy part. Transferring that

5:18
directly to the annuity company. Once we

5:20
choose the annuity company, the the part

5:22
that we need to make sure that you're

5:23
getting right is the right product, the

5:26
right contractual guarantee, and

5:28
shopping all carriers. If it's for

5:29
lifetime income, it's got to be A+ or

5:31
better. Okay? Um, if it's for MA's uh

5:35
multi-year guarantee annuities, which

5:37
are annuity type CDs, I call them

5:38
annuity bonds, we can go a little bit

5:40
lower on the rating because we're dating

5:42
that carrier with lifetime income. We're

5:44
going to marry that carrier. But either

5:46
way, you can do the applications online

5:47
or have us do the applications. So, you

5:50
can use IRA money, you can use Roth IRA

5:51
money, you can use

5:54
non what I call non-qualified cash type

5:56
money. And there's, you know, we need to

5:59
talk eventually,

6:02
um, unless you just want to, unless you

6:04
know what you want, you can do the

6:05
online app because there's some, there's

6:07
some good tax benefits if you're using

6:10
nonirra type assets. With IAS, you know,

6:13
um, any money coming out is tax ordinary

6:16
income streams or ordinary income levels

6:19
with the income stream. But with nonIRRA

6:22
like cash type money, checking account

6:26
type money, savings account type money,

6:29
there's some there's some pretty

6:31
interesting tax benefits. For example,

6:34
on the multi-year guarantee annuity, the

6:35
annuity industry version of a CD, if

6:38
you're using nonirra money, that

6:40
interest grows and compounds tax

6:41
deferred using nonirra money. with

6:44
lifetime income. If you're like buying

6:46
an immediate annuity or deferred income

6:47
annuity and you're using cash, non

6:49
nonirra money, the income is a

6:52
combination of return of principal plus

6:54
interest, you're only paying taxes on

6:55
the interest. So, it's tax favorable.

6:57
I'm not saying you use solely use cash

7:00
and savings account, checking account

7:02
type money because you can use IRA, Roth

7:03
IRA, nonirra like we're talking about.

7:06
But if you do choose to use nonirra

7:09
money, there are some benefits with some

7:11
of the products that that we can

7:13
explain. If you want to do your own

7:14
research, you can go to my site at

7:16
theanuityman.com. You can download my

7:18
free owners manuals where I talk about

7:20
that. If you're interested, say, in a in

7:22
an immediate annuity or a a multi-year

7:25
guarantee annuity or income writer, go

7:27
to my YouTube channel, just type in in

7:29
the space bar what you're interested in.

7:30
I've done hundreds of videos on all of

7:32
that. You can go down the rabbit hole.

7:33
But between the books, between the

7:35
videos, and between the access with me,

7:37
and now that we have virtual Stanley on

7:39
the site, which is an avatar you can ask

7:41
247 365 questions with my answers,

7:45
you're going to get the answers that you

7:46
need. You're going to be able to make an

7:48
informed decision on your terms and your

7:50
time frame. But yes, you can. I think

7:52
the biggest takeaways from this is money

7:54
never touches our hands. We take care of

7:56
all of the paperwork from start to

7:58
finish. I have the best staff in the

7:59
business. Yet, we also allow you to do

8:01
it online if you want to do the

8:02
application online. We're just gonna

8:04
have to make one phone call into you to

8:06
make sure it's you. Okay? And just to,

8:09
you know, validate that. We have to do

8:10
that legally.

8:12
Um, but yeah, you can use any type of

8:16
money, IRA, Roth IRA, nonirra, nonirra

8:19
has some advantages with migas, again,

8:21
the tax deferred uh compounding

8:24
interest. And with lifetime income, the

8:26
fact that you're only going to pay taxes

8:28
on the interest portion, not the not the

8:30
principal portion. Hey, that's a good

8:32
deal. You need to take a look at that.

8:34
One last thing, um been talking about

8:36
the technology a lot during this video.

8:38
I did a video on the technology. You

8:40
know, the cool part about what we're

8:42
doing now is there's a Google u my the

8:44
guy who runs the company's now he's he's

8:46
from Google. So he left the Gemini

8:47
division, the AI division, and convinced

8:49
them to come over here because the

8:51
annuity industry is old and stodgy and

8:54
and boring. And that's good, you know,

8:57
because it's contractual. But I'm like,

8:59
let's push the envelope and give the

9:01
consumer a choice between do you want to

9:03
interact with us humans, me, or do you

9:06
want to do it yourself? And you can do

9:08
both. You can combine it. But what we've

9:10
done now is we've given you the choice.

9:12
We're the only ones that's given you a

9:13
real choice to do that. and then have

9:16
virtual Stanley on on the site that you

9:19
can ask questions 247365.

9:22
You can also email me direct if you want

9:24
to 247365. I'm 62 years old so I don't

9:27
sleep that much. So I might you you

9:29
might shoot me an email too and get a

9:31
response immediately. You never know. So

9:33
um proud of that. Proud of what we're

9:35
doing and I hope that you will give us

9:37
the opportunity to earn your business.

9:39
My name is Stan the Annuity Man. We'll

9:41
