Retirement Annuity Contract And Tax-Free Cash

Is there really such a thing as an annuity that provides tax-free cash or is it just another sales pitch? In this video, I explain how retirement annuity contracts actually work and why most tax-free income claims are misleading. I talk about the difference between life insurance loans and true tax-free income, and the limited situations where annuities can generate tax-free lifetime income.

Retirement annuity contract and taxfree
0:03
cash like the guy on TV. I can just see
0:06
him. Retirement annuity contract and
0:08
taxfree cash.
0:10
Hi there. I'm Stan the Annuity Man,
0:12
America's annuity agent, licensed in all
0:14
50 states. We're going to nail this
0:16
topic against the wall and then beat it
0:18
with a baseball bat. I'm going to go
0:20
over a couple things you got to be aware
0:22
of out there. Um, but I saw this title
0:26
that my consultants, lawyers, hangers,
0:28
honors, groupies choose for me and I was
0:31
like, "Okay, I can do that one. That's
0:34
going to be fun." I'm going to try not
0:35
to yell though because sometimes I blow
0:36
my voice out on these type of topics
0:39
because they make me mad. They make me
0:41
angry. They make my cortisol levels go
0:43
up. My My wife's like, "Your cortisol
0:45
levels going up?" Like, "No, I'm pissed.
0:47
That's what that means. It's not
0:48
cortisol levels." Lovely wife of 38
0:52
years. Okay, enough about her. We'll
0:54
talk to you after this.
0:58
[music]
1:02
Okay, so a lot of sales [ __ ] out
1:05
there. Most of them are crapola.
1:09
That's Italian, I think. Dr. V behind
1:11
the camera. Crapola. Talking about
1:13
retirement annuity contracts and taxfree
1:16
cash. Taxfree cash. I just like saying
1:19
that.
1:21
Taxfree cash. Okay, let's let's break
1:23
this down a little bit just so we give
1:25
some foundation, you know, some context
1:28
for the tax-free cash.
1:31
Um, [laughter]
1:34
life insurance companies issue
1:35
annuities. Life insurance, the death
1:37
benefit from life insurance is tax-free,
1:40
lump sum. I always tell people life
1:42
insurance is the best investment return
1:45
you're you're ever gonna you're never
1:47
going to see because you're dead.
1:49
It's great, but it it's it's a tax-free
1:53
lump sum probate free to your
1:55
beneficiaries. If I show up dead, Dr. V,
1:58
just out of the blue, like random,
2:01
somebody in my family off me because
2:02
there's a huge term policy behind me.
2:05
You're walking around. That's the reason
2:06
I wear helmets everywhere. You know,
2:07
this is actually not a hat, it's a
2:09
helmet. Taxfree cash though, there's a
2:12
lot of sales pitches. You'll hear well
2:13
you know the you know this this the
2:15
Rockefellers use this this method to get
2:18
taxfree income and what they're talking
2:20
about is life insurance like index
2:22
universal life whole life and they're
2:24
saying you could take loans from the
2:26
policy and that's taxfree cash that's a
2:30
loan it's not taxree cash
2:34
always tell people if you go God called
2:36
me the other day I said um and he was
2:38
arguing with me no that's taxree son I'm
2:40
going to tell you right now it's taxree
2:41
okay great when you go go to the bank
2:43
and you and you take a loan out from the
2:45
bank and you start taking money from the
2:47
loan, is that tax-free income? And the
2:50
guy goes, "Well, heck no. That's a loan
2:52
from the bank, son. What do you think I
2:55
am, stupid?" Said, "I'm gonna hold on
2:57
that comment." Then I said, "Okay, you
2:59
put money in a life insurance policy,
3:02
you take a loan from the life insurance
3:04
policy. Is that tax-free cash, Ernie?"
3:06
Ernie goes, "Yep." I went, "Huh?"
3:11
No, that's not taxfree cash.
3:15
Annuity contracts for t taxfree cash can
3:18
only happen one way. Dr. V, this is for
3:22
you. Uno way. Unoola.
3:25
Okay. Dr. V is from Venezuela. He speaks
3:27
fluent Venezuela. Okay. So, uno.
3:32
And that's doing an immediate annuity
3:35
inside of a Roth IRA. You've already
3:37
paid all the you're a patriot.
3:44
I'm pay my taxes.
3:46
You paid all these taxes to convert into
3:50
a Roth IRA. The only way for tax-free
3:53
income is to have an immediate annuity
3:55
or one of the four income products.
3:58
Actually, three because one you can't
3:59
use in there. Qualified longevity
4:01
annuity contracts cannot be used in Roth
4:03
IAS, but income writers can. Deferred
4:06
income annuities can. single premium
4:08
media annuities can inside of a Roth IRA
4:10
and that's all taxree because you paid
4:12
all this patriotic upfront c taxes on
4:15
the Roth
4:18
that's the only way everything else is
4:21
bullshittio
4:23
that's Venezuelan for cropola which is
4:26
Italian I'm fluent I know what you're
4:29
saying you're so multi-talented how do
4:32
you do it I don't know you know I just
4:34
speak languages I mean I can pick up a
4:36
language like that, like bullshittio.
4:38
You didn't even know that was a word.
4:41
Here's the problem. Roth IAS,
4:46
great. Love it. I think 20% of the
4:48
public has Roth IAS in some form or
4:50
fashion or level. Okay, that's great.
4:54
But what if they change the rules? I
4:55
hope they don't. I hope you're
4:56
grandfathered in. At the time of this
4:59
taping, they've not changed the rule.
5:00
They, meaning our politician friends.
5:05
But I'm waiting. I'm waiting for this
5:07
speech. You know, I should really should
5:09
run for office under the contractual
5:11
guarantees only banner and party.
5:15
Contractual guarantees only. Stand
5:18
there, man. I tell you what, if that
5:20
happened, the debate stayed. That would
5:22
be a fun one because it would be brutal.
5:25
Okay? I would I would destroy the
5:29
journalist on facts and contracts.
5:33
But here's the here's the politicians
5:35
standing up. Ladies and gentlemen,
5:38
I'm here to tell you that the rich
5:42
people, the evil rich,
5:45
they have something called a Roth IRA.
5:47
And a Roth IRA allows them tax-free
5:50
benefits. They don't pay taxes anymore.
5:53
Now, they're going to leave out the part
5:55
that you've paid a ton upfront to
5:57
convert it into the Roth IRA. Hey, but
5:59
you know, those are detail. Those are
6:00
political details. and they're going to
6:02
say, "And that's not fair." In fact,
6:04
Peter Theal, a billionaire,
6:07
multi-billionaire worth hundreds of
6:08
billions, he has a Roth IRA worth $6
6:11
billion, which means that $6 billion,
6:14
this is true, by the way, that $6
6:16
billion is taxfree. That's not fair.
6:19
That's not fair to the rest of us. And
6:21
you know what? In the world we live in
6:24
of stupid people, they're going to win.
6:29
In a world that we live in that 54% of
6:33
the public doesn't have a checking
6:34
account,
6:37
they're going to win. In a world where
6:38
65% of the people have $10,000 or less
6:41
to their name, they're going to win. All
6:45
I'm telling you is run the math numbers
6:46
on the Roth IRA. If it makes sense for
6:48
you, go for it. Knock yourself out. I
6:50
will tell you this, don't fall for the
6:52
annuity salesman pitch where you need to
6:55
buy an annuity to do a Roth Roth
6:57
conversion. You do not need to buy an
6:58
annuity to do a Roth conversion. You do
7:01
not need an upfront bonus to do a Roth
7:03
conversion. Are we clear? A few good men
7:07
crystal.
7:09
Okay. So, annuity contracts. The first
7:12
part of this question is right.
7:13
Annuities are contracts. You should own
7:15
own them for what they will do, not what
7:16
they might do. You shouldn't buy a life
7:19
insurance policy under the guise that
7:20
it's taxfree income because it's a dang
7:22
loan.
7:24
But the only way for tax-free income is
7:26
if you had a Roth IRA and you trusted
7:30
the government not to change the rules.
7:32
Boy, I'd trust them. Wouldn't you?
7:34
Because they have never changed the
7:36
rules, have they? No, they have never
7:38
changed the rules.
7:41
Immediate annuity inside a Roth,
7:43
deferred income annuity inside a Roth,
7:45
income writer inside a Roth. That's
7:46
taxfree income. That's it. Now, from my
7:50
Morgan Stanley days, you got to say it
7:52
like you got to say it like Fogghorn,
7:53
Legghorn, Morgan Stanley. My Morgan
7:56
Stanley days, tax-free municipal bonds,
7:59
that's taxfree income as well. If you
8:02
can find them, just remember, if it
8:05
sounds too good to be true, it is every
8:06
single time. Just remember, annuities
8:09
are math.
8:12
Tax calculations are math. Run the break
8:15
even point before you patriotically
8:20
Pay your taxes. I'm paying my taxes.
8:24
Before you do that, before you Roth
8:26
convert, run the number.
8:29
Some people tell I got to call it a day.
8:31
Guy goes, "Man, you killing them Roth
8:33
things. You just don't like them. I'm
8:34
doing it for my kid legacy." Okay,
8:36
great. That's fine.
8:39
Again, [sighs and gasps]
8:41
we're trusting government officials
8:44
to with a $40 trillion debt in counting,
8:48
higher if you want to count other
8:49
things, 40 trillion on the building in
8:51
New York when you walk past it. They're
8:54
going to have to get the revenue from
8:55
somewhere.
8:57
Okay? So don't be surprised if that
8:59
tax-free income thing on the Roth is for
9:01
environment, wind farms, small little
9:04
birds and fuzzy animals and cars that we
9:07
tell you to buy and schools we tell you
9:09
can your kids can attend. It's taxree
9:12
then everything else is not.
9:16
It could happen taxree income. Taxree
9:19
municipal bonds. Okay. Roth IRA with
9:22
annuities for lifetime income. That's
9:24
taxfree income. It's that simple. Stan,
9:27
how do you do it? How do you make it
9:28
that simple? This is what I am. I know
9:30
what you're saying. You're
9:31
simple-minded. Maybe.
9:33
Maybe. But I can I can take all this
9:36
stuff and and just put it down to the
9:38
basics to where you can make a good
9:40
decision. Do me a favor. Go to my site
9:41

9:43
You can run quotes. You can download my
9:45
owner's manuals. You can email me
9:46
stantheanuityman.com if you want to
9:48
argue, fight, or set an appointment. All
9:51
three I just welcome. And last thing
9:53
above my head, you're going to love
9:55
this. I just did a video on why people
9:57
still hate annuities. Stan, I still hate
9:59
I hate you and I hate annuities. I hate
10:02
everybody. I just am a missenthrope.
10:05
Okay, great. That's fine. This video is
10:07
for you. Then for the rest of you, it's
10:08
fun because I tell you in the back of
10:10
your head kind of what you've heard at
10:11
the at the cocktail party where the guy
10:14
walks up and goes, "Yeah, you know, I've
10:16
just uh you know, I bought Nvidia at $4
10:18
and I bought Bitcoin at a hundred and uh
10:21
I choose to drive the Honda. You know, I
10:23
don't need to drive the Honda. And I'd
10:25
never buy an annuity because I hate
10:26
annuities. Remember now, all of you with
10:29
social security numbers, valid ones,
10:31
have the best pension annuity in the
10:34
country. It's called Social Security.
10:37
Watch that video. You will have fun.
10:38
Thanks for joining me. That was actually
10:40
a fun video. I was somewhat cathartic.
10:43
It was cleansing. I feel cleansed.
10:45
Either that, Dr. V, I need to go to the
10:47
bathroom. One of the two. Okay. See you
10:50
next time.
