Retirement annuity contract retirement
0:02
age. Such a consultant topic and I'm
0:05
surrounded by consultants and bodyguards
0:07
as you know. Hello, my name is Stan the
0:09
Annuity Man. America's annuity agent
0:11
licensed in all 50 states in Puerto
0:13
Rico. Founder of CGO contractual
0:14
guarantees only. You own an annuity for
0:16
what it will do, not what it might do.
0:18
Never buy an annuity for none guaranteed
0:22
return scenarios. Buy for the
0:24
contractual guarantees. We're going to
0:26
talk about this little funky title and
0:29
really kind of specifically focus on the
0:31
age part of it after this.
0:36
[music]
0:40
So, let's break it into two parts.
0:41
Retirement annuity contract.
0:44
Yes, all annuity types, and there's many
0:46
types. You can count anywhere from eight
0:48
to 10, however you want to count them.
0:50
Um, they're all contracts.
0:52
Life insurance companies issue annuities
0:55
and they're policies and those policies
0:57
are also called contracts. So you buy
0:59
them for the contractual guarantees of
1:01
the policy. Now there's four items and
1:05
four goals that annuities contractually
1:07
solve for. That acronym is pill. P
1:09
stands for principal protection. I
1:10
stands for income for life. L stands for
1:12
legacy. And the other L stands for
1:14
long-term care. The other unique thing
1:18
that I do is I only ask two questions.
1:20
What do you want the money to
1:21
contractually do? And when do you want
1:24
those contractual guarantees to start?
1:26
From those two answers, I can determine
1:27
a if you need an annuity and if so,
1:30
which one is going to solve for the goal
1:32
that you've laid out and provide the
1:34
highest contractual guarantee, i.e.
1:36
retirement annuity contract.
1:40
But let's get to the age part. The age
1:41
part is the most important part about
1:43
what we're talking about today. If
1:45
you're a youngster out there in your 30s
1:48
and 20s, 30s and 40s, I'm going to
1:50
encourage you to just stay in the
1:52
markets, do market growth, okay? If you
1:55
want to discuss and argue with me,
1:57
please just go to my site, schedule a
1:59
call, and I'll hear your specific
2:00
situation. I think out of probably a
2:02
thousand youngster smart people I've
2:05
talked to, I think there might be five
2:08
that have convinced me that their
2:10
situation is unique. Think about that.
2:13
thousand and only five. So if you're 40
2:16
and below, you really need market
2:18
growth. You really don't need to
2:19
structure anything for annuities again
2:22
99.9% of the time. Once you hit age 50,
2:25
I think you need to start learning how
2:26
to spell annuity and and start
2:28
understanding what they are and the fact
2:31
that they're just not one product that
2:32
everyone hates. They solve for things.
2:36
They're contracts. The question is, is
2:38
it too young in your 50s to look at
2:41
annuities? I I don't think it's too
2:43
young to look at them. It might be too
2:46
young to purchase them, but that's a
2:48
conversation that we need to have. Now,
2:49
once you get to 55, 56, 57, you see the
2:52
finish line. The finish line's right
2:54
there,
2:55
then we probably need to start talking
2:57
about it. Especially when you're going
2:59
into your 60s and social security is a
3:02
choice, retirement is a choice, etc.
3:05
That's when annuities
3:07
should be considered.
3:10
Most people are looking at annuities for
3:12
lifetime income because the companies
3:13
they work with only provided a 401k.
3:16
They didn't provide the lifetime income
3:17
choice. And lifetime income, like all
3:19
annuities, like all annuity uh types,
3:23
they're commodities. You shop them off
3:24
for the highest contractual guarantees
3:26
on the planet. We happen to have a site
3:28
that does that at theanuityman.com. And
3:30
you can run those quotes anonymously.
3:32
You don't have to put in your name, your
3:34
email, or your phone. just just your uh
3:36
gender, state of residence, and date of
3:38
birth. That's important. We'll talk
3:40
about that in a second, but it's
3:42
important for me to provide that to you
3:45
so that you can quote and not worry
3:47
about bots or hackers. Or, by the way,
3:50
if you go to other sites and sign up,
3:52
they're selling your they're selling
3:54
your information. A lot of them are.
3:55
$150 to $300 is the going rate for your
3:59
name. If you sign up and give them your
4:00
name, your email address, and your phone
4:02
number, you want to do that. I don't
4:04
want to I don't want you to do that.
4:06
That's the reason we changed our site.
4:08
We were previously, you know, asked for
4:11
that, but we didn't care about it. And I
4:13
finally was at a board meeting. I'm
4:15
like, why are we doing that? I hate
4:16
that. I hate when I go to a site and I
4:18
have to put in my name and I don't want
4:20
to do that. Well, no one's ever done
4:22
that before, Stan. Perfect. That's the
4:24
answer I'm looking for. No one's ever
4:26
done it before. Everything I do out
4:28
here, no one's ever done before.
4:31
Anonymous quoting, contractual
4:33
guarantees only. I'm the only one. Not
4:36
for long.
4:38
We're number one for a reason. Is
4:39
because not because we're contrarian is
4:41
this is the way it should be done. So
4:43
retirement age um the or the specific
4:46
specific retirement annuities and then
4:48
we're talking about ages.
4:50
That's the younger side of the scale. So
4:52
55ish you kind of need to get serious.
4:56
But on the other end of the scale, a lot
4:58
of these companies don't issue a lot of
5:00
the products past age 85 or 90. There's
5:03
only one product that can be purchased
5:05
and that is a single premium immediate
5:07
annuity if you need it. If I determine
5:09
that you need it, if it's suitable and
5:11
appropriate and in your best interest.
5:13
But my question to the 85 year olds, the
5:16
90 year olds is what? Again, whether
5:18
you're 55 or 85, I'm ask the same
5:20
question. What are you trying to
5:21
achieve? What's your goal? What are you
5:24
trying to do?
5:25
Don't just say, "Well, I just want the
5:27
best annuity." Boy, if you say that's
5:28
some idiot's going to sell you crap. You
5:31
need to get granular. You need to get
5:33
specific with your request. Here's what
5:36
I'm trying to do, Stan. I'm trying to do
5:37
legacy or I'm trying to do income or I
5:40
want to protect the principal. Be
5:41
specific. If you ask general questions
5:44
to a general agent, they're going to
5:46
sell you a general piece of crap.
5:48
Annuities are commodity products.
5:50
Annuity should be shopped with all
5:52
carriers for the highest contractual
5:54
guarantee for your situation. It's that
5:57
simple.
5:58
So, retirement annuity contract. Yeah,
6:01
they're all contracts. And a retirement
6:03
annuity could be a speed, qac, income
6:05
writer, MIGA, whatever. But never buy a
6:09
retirement annuity contract
6:12
for non-g guaranteed returns,
6:14
hypotheticals, theoreticals. Never buy
6:16
an annuity for growth. Now, I said this
6:19
the other day and I got a lot of
6:20
blowback. Market growth doesn't have
6:22
surrender charges.
6:25
Market growth doesn't have surrender
6:30
charges.
6:31
Hello.
6:33
So, when someone tells you some too good
6:35
to be true product, just say, "Wait a
6:36
minute. Does that have a surrender
6:37
charge on it?" Oh, yeah. 10-year
6:39
surrender charge. Okay. Goodbye. Have a
6:42
nice day.
6:44
Market growth is market growth. market
6:46
growth has nothing to do with annuities.
6:47
Some for some reason the annuity
6:49
industry is fixated on it. I got my
6:52
theories on that. So, if you're watching
6:55
this and you saw some big mess up or
6:58
whatever, that was a huge lightning
7:00
strike that affected us all. But we keep
7:03
moving. We keep going. But the
7:05
interruption was a little
7:10
unearthing as they say. But getting back
7:13
to the topic, you know, we're talking
7:14
about retirement annuities and the ages.
7:17
You know, you can be too young and you
7:19
can be too old. But those are those are
7:21
items that I need to talk to you about.
7:24
Okay? If you're between 55 and 85, quote
7:28
away. But before that, and after that,
7:30
we probably need to have a conversation.
7:32
All right? I encourage you to go to my
7:34
site at theanuityman.com.
7:36
Um, you can download books. You can sign
7:38
up for my Saturday newsletter which is
7:40
always fun because my insights is short
7:42
and sweet but I I typically have
7:44
something unique. Um also too you can
7:47
run quotes anonymously as I said and you
7:49
can uh interact and chat and ask
7:51
questions to virtual Stanley. There is a
7:53
virtual me on the site which is kind of
7:55
cool. Um so you know tell us what you
7:59
think about that. I mean, obviously,
8:00
we're improving that, but what we took
8:01
is that we took the 2,000 videos and the
8:04
and video per day and just feed it into
8:06
the engine uh of the smart guys from MIT
8:09
who started their own company and now
8:11
run the virtual Stanley side of the
8:13
annuity man. It's pretty cool. Hey, I
8:14
did a video um spinning clock above me
8:17
on on our quote system, which is unique.
8:19
How to run quotes, how to use the
8:21
calculators. The cool part about what we
8:23
do, which is unique, is that you only
8:25
have to put in your your gender, your
8:27
state of residence, or your date of
8:28
birth or income type quotes. No name
8:31
needed, no email needed, no phone
8:33
needed. Okay? We are the only ones to do
8:36
that in the country. I'm proud of that.
8:38
You know, we're setting the bar. That's
8:40
just what we're doing. But yeah, any
8:42
type of age questions when it comes to
8:44
annuities, you know, I need to talk to
8:45
you about it. You know, there are some
8:47
situations where uh like children with
8:50
special needs needs an annuity and
8:51
they're younger. We can work with that.
8:53
Those are called structured settlements.
8:55
But the bottom line is interact with me.
