This isn’t about politics, it’s about truth in the annuity industry. “Stan-tifa” is my call to cut through the sales hype and bring annuities back to what they really are: contracts.

In this video, I explain why retirement isn’t a practice run, why you should never buy annuities for what they might do, and how to use the P.I.L.L. test (Principal protection, Income for life, Legacy, Long-term care) to decide if an annuity is right for you.

No steak dinners, no fluff, just the facts. That’s the Stan-tifa movement: truth over sales.

Watch and Enjoy,
Stan The Annuity Man

Hi there, Stan the Annuity Man,

0:10
America's annuity agent, licensed in all

0:12
50 states. And you saw the title of

0:13
this, you go, "Wait a minute, man. I got

0:15
to watch this one." It is time, my

0:17
friends, for an annuity. Stantifa, not

0:21
Antifa, Stantifa uprising. What do I

0:25
mean by that? Is it Stanarchy? Yes, it

0:27
is Stanarchy. And by the way, long time

0:29
ago, I had this idea that this logo

0:31
would stand for like an annuity anarchy,

0:34
but it's not that. It should be an S.

0:35
Stanarchy.

0:37
What does that mean? That means that

0:40
been doing this a long time. We're the

0:42
biggest gorilla in the room when it

0:44
comes to annuities and especially on the

0:45
fixed annuity side, which is where we

0:47
focus. But there needs to be a little

0:50
bit of an uprising, albeit a stantifa.

0:53
Why? Because the sales pitch nonsense is

0:57
at its highest point that I've seen

1:00
ever. It's kind of like politically

1:01
right now at the time of this taping.

1:03
We're at a high pitched fervor. People

1:05
are mad on both sides and blah blah

1:07
blah. And we know what's been happening.

1:09
Kind of crazy stuff. But the reason

1:11
there needs to be an uprising in the

1:13
annuity world, we're talking about

1:15
people's retirement. This is you. You

1:18
don't if you're a golfer, you don't get

1:19
a mulligan. You don't get to hit the

1:21
ball again. You get one shot at this

1:23
retirement thing and you got to do it

1:25
right and you got to make good decisions

1:28
and you got to make informed decisions

1:29
and you got to have those decisions

1:31
involve no pressure from the

1:33
salesperson. You've got to have the

1:35
brutal truth. You've got to know the

1:37
good, the bad, the limit limitations and

1:39
the benefits of every product. And every

1:42
single annuity has limitations and

1:44
benefits. If it sounds too good to be

1:46
true, it is. If you hear the sales pitch

1:49
and you go, "Wait a minute. Why wouldn't

1:51
everybody buy that? Good point. The

1:53
reason there needs to be a Stantifa

1:55
uprising is because I always tell

1:58
people, they say, "Well, this guy told

1:59
me there's this, this, and this, and

2:01
this, and I get an upfront bonus." First

2:03
of all, if you're buying an upfront

2:05
bonus, annuity for an upfront bonus.

2:07
It's like going to the car dealership

2:08
and buying a car for the stereo system.

2:11
It's a shiny thing. It's it's candy for

2:14
stupid people. There's not a

2:15
philanthropist at annuity company going,

2:17
"You know what?

2:19
I'm going to give money away today. I

2:21
feel like it. No, there's nobody like

2:23
that in the annuity industry. It's a

2:25
for-profit industry. Okay? So, if

2:28
they're giving you something, if the

2:29
annuity company's giving something,

2:31
they're taking something away. That's

2:33
the reason we only look at the

2:34
contractual guarantees. That's part of

2:36
the Stantifa uprising. Forget the pie in

2:38
the sky um unicorns chasing the

2:41
butterflies. Mr. Jones, if you'd owned

2:43
it 10 years ago, you'd have gotten this

2:45
return. Look at the double digit

2:46
guaranteed return. Garbage, man. That's

2:49
French for garbage for all you out there

2:51
in the Middlelands, okay? Where I grew

2:52
up in North Carolina. Don't fall for it.

2:55
The Stantifa means, let's strip it down

2:58
to the simplicity of the annuity

3:00
contract because that's what you're

3:02
buying. Annuitities

3:05
are issued by life insurance companies.

3:07
Okay? They are contracts between you and

3:10
the issuing life insurance company. Now,

3:13
with those facts being in place, why

3:15
wouldn't you just base your decision

3:16
solely on the contract, not the

3:20
hypothetical of the contract, not what

3:22
the contract could do, might do with yet

3:24
you do the will do. You're owning it for

3:26
the will do. And if you go into the

3:29
annuity purchasing process, hopefully

3:32
with us, because we're not hammers

3:34
looking for nails, we're going to

3:35
edutain you. We're going to answer all

3:37
your questions, and then we're going to

3:39
leave you alone to make a good decision

3:40
on your terms and your time frame.

3:42
That's what the annuity stantifa is all

3:44
about. So if you're in Antifa, I don't

3:47
even know what that is. That's like an

3:48
amoeba somewhere, you know. We're not

3:51
ripping you off on your Antifa. We're

3:53
just putting this S in front of it. St.

3:55
Stantifa because it's about annuities.

3:58
It's about cleaning this up. It's about

4:00
for all of the 13,000 or 14,000 people

4:03
that turn 65 every day to understand

4:06
that they can come to a source and get

4:08
the truth and get the brutal truth. and

4:11
we have no problem telling you, you

4:14
know, it's it's not for you. I had a guy

4:16
on the phone the other day and he goes,

4:17
"Hey, Stan, I got this situation blah

4:20
blah blah and and I went, if I'm you, I

4:23
don't buy an annuity. I don't think it

4:24
fits you right now." And he's like, "So,

4:26
I shouldn't buy one." No, you shouldn't.

4:28
We will tell you that. You know, it's

4:30
not for everyone. It's not a

4:32
one-sizefitsall.

4:34
The Stantifa uprising is hopefully these

4:37
videos continue to dominate in YouTube

4:40
so that people get educated so when they

4:42
go to the bad chicken dinner seminar

4:44
i.e. expensive steak dinner seminar

4:46
they'll come to the YouTube video and go

4:48
why did Stan say something completely

4:50
opposite from what uh you know Johnny

4:52
Apples Seed Agent said. Johnny Apple

4:55
Seed Agent said that this is the

4:56
greatest thing since sliced bread and

4:57
that his mama owns it. Well, first of

4:59
all, he's he's he's making a commission

5:01
on his mama which is not good. That's

5:03
not a good thing. So annuity stantif I

5:06
know when you looked at it you're like

5:07
what is he talking about? What I'm

5:09
talking about is stripping annuity

5:12
purchase decisions down to the

5:14
contractual guarantees only and fully

5:17
understanding what you're buying. I

5:19
always tell people if you can't explain

5:21
what you're buying in the annuity world

5:23
to a 9-year-old, no offense to

5:25
nineyear-olds, don't buy it. If if it's

5:29
nebulous to you, if you just can't put

5:30
your arms around it, if the mathematical

5:33
equations for the return have letters in

5:35
it instead of numbers, walk away. Okay?

5:38
Buy the contractual guarantee. So join

5:41
me, my friends, in the stanarchy of of

5:45
sten of the stantifa

5:49
of the annuity uprising that needs to

5:51
take place, that will take place, and

5:54
that I will lead until my Learjet hits

5:57
the mountain.

5:58
My name is Stan the annuity man. See you

6:00
next time.
