Stan The Annuity Man: Happy Birthday To QLACs

IN THIS EPISODE, THE ANNUITY MAN DISCUSSED:
- Why QLACs should be number one
- Three reasons to buy a QLAC
- The downsides of a QLAC
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- If agent commission didn’t come into play, QLACs would be the number one best-selling annuity product. It’s simple, pro-consumer, and works; it’s a product that focuses on the “will do” and not the “might do.” It’s a guaranteed lifetime income rolled from your IRA, and can be deferred as far out as age 85.
- There are primarily three good reasons to buy a QLAC. First, you’ll get future income to combat inflation. Second, you can add your spouse as a join annuitant, which means that they too get paid as long as one of you is breathing. Third, you can have tax savings. The amount that you put into a QLAC is not included in your required minimum distribution calculations.
- The downsides of a QLAC is that it’s irrevocable, there’s no trackable interest, and that there’s no market attachment. The latter “downside” isn’t that much of a downside at all. Being detached from the market means it’s not affected by market fluctuations.
"With QLACs, SPIAs, and DIAs there's no annual phase. There's no market attachment, it's a straight transfer risk. You're saying to the issuing QLACcompany, here's the money and you are on the hook to pay me, or me and my wife, or me and my husband forever as long as one of us is breathing, but you don't get to keep a penny. " — Stan The Annuity Man.

a blast over the last few years when
1:12
since we've we've done this and you know
1:14
my PR people you know they talk like
1:16
this and they're like we really need to
1:18
have guests on Stein and I typically do
1:20
90 of the time have guests on but when
1:22
I'm talking about a a specific topic I
1:26
try to bring in
1:27
the number one expert in that topic now
1:31
that some of the time isn't me
1:34
huh what
1:36
um but in this case
1:38
um I needed to do a happy birthday cue
1:41
like that's the topic happy birthday to
1:44
culax qualified longevity annuity
1:46
contracts and who's the number one
1:48
expert in qlex on the planet
1:51
it would be me thank you very much
1:55
clap clap clap for stand the annuity man
1:58
and the reason I am that person is I was
2:01
around in 2014 when qualified longevity
2:05
annuity contracts were first introduced
2:08
by the IRS yes those are our friends nod
2:11
your head
2:12
and the department of the treasury who
2:15
came out with a culac
2:17
which is a
2:19
tap on the shoulder nicely by our
2:21
government to say hey uh Hey excuse me
2:24
um yeah that's Social Security payment
2:26
that's not supposed to be the only
2:28
lifetime income stream that you have
2:31
so why don't you can you know we're
2:33
going to allow you because we're so nice
2:34
to use your qualified assets traditional
2:37
IRA type assets
2:39
to purchase a lifetime income stream
2:41
which are culax now I contemplated early
2:45
should I sing Happy Birthday to qlex now
2:50
or should I sing Happy Birthday to qlex
2:53
at the end I'm not sure if that's a
2:55
tease to keep you I think if you heard
2:57
that two things if I sang it now which I
3:00
might you might do okay that's it click
3:02
and you're out of here but you might be
3:05
anticipating the voice the velvety
3:07
smooth voice of Stanley nude man singing
3:10
happy birthday to qlex you might just
3:12
hang in there for that right so you know
3:14
what just because of that
3:17
um
3:18
you know and Tony Bennett who I love
3:20
Tony Bennett who passed away recently
3:21
had that smooth Voice singing you know
3:24
he could sing a really good hat maybe
3:25
I'll do my Tony Bennett version of Happy
3:28
Birthday to kelax but nine
3:31
I think it was 2014 so nine years ago at
3:33
the time of this taping check the date
3:35
player at the time of this taping nine
3:37
years ago ish
3:39
culax were introduced to the world and
3:43
at that time
3:45
I was excited because I love simple
3:47
products I love Pro consumer products I
3:49
love products at work I love products
3:51
that are contractual I love products and
3:53
strategies
3:54
that only focus on the will do and
3:57
they're all there aren't any might Do's
3:59
unicorns chasing the butterflies Mr
4:01
Jones if you know 10 years ago you've
4:03
got market returns no culax are straight
4:07
transfer of risk products now
4:10
Social Security was never put on the
4:13
planet to be the sole source of income
4:18
for adults this never was but for the
4:21
vast majority out there it is now if
4:23
you're watching this podcast you're
4:25
probably trying to figure out what a cue
4:27
like is or you're celebrating with me
4:30
the birthday the nine-year-old birthday
4:32
of qlex now when qlex first came out I I
4:35
literally was so excited I was in
4:36
Chicago at the time
4:38
um I I stayed an extra couple of days
4:41
and started my first owner's manual on
4:43
qlex at that time now of course I have
4:45
six additional owners manuals and I have
4:47
a book called The annuity stanifesto and
4:50
all those you can get on my site at the
4:51
annuityman.com but I really thought at
4:54
that time that and I still believe this
4:57
that culax will eventually be the number
4:59
one annuity type sold
5:02
period to all people now I predicted
5:05
that it would be in a couple years now
5:07
what I forgot is I'm one of the few
5:09
agents out here that doesn't look at any
5:11
type of commissions built-in commissions
5:12
I just look at what's the best solution
5:15
for you so because of that I'm thinking
5:16
hey Helix are a great solution most
5:19
people most of their money's in
5:21
traditional IRA type form you know you
5:23
have the 401ks the defined contribution
5:25
plan not many companies do Define uh
5:28
benefit plans which are pensions and
5:30
give you the gold watch and the payment
5:31
for life that doesn't happen a lot
5:32
anymore in fact less than nine percent
5:34
of the companies out there private
5:35
companies do that anymore now if you
5:38
work for the government a good trade
5:39
Union or whatever labor union might have
5:41
a pension in place but most people do
5:44
not so you know annuities as a category
5:49
and there's multiple types of annuities
5:50
it's the only category that a vast
5:53
majority of the product types provide
5:55
lifetime income as long as you're
5:57
breathing and or on a ventilator so as
5:59
long as you're breathing and on the
6:01
planet it's going to pay now qualified
6:04
longevity annuity contracts getting back
6:06
to my original Dream and prediction that
6:08
it would be the highest selling annuity
6:11
type on the planet it really should be
6:13
and in a perfect world where Stan the
6:15
annuity man is the annuity Czar which
6:16
means that has no Russian connotations
6:19
it means that
6:21
I run the whole annuity show I run the
6:24
whole I oversee everything carriers have
6:27
to come to me agents have to bow down
6:29
and and oh by the way and guess what all
6:32
annuity types have the same low
6:35
commission level all so you want to you
6:38
want to flush the toilet as they say for
6:40
good and get rid of the nonsense bad
6:43
chicken dinner seminar crap sales
6:45
pitches have all annuity types and I'm
6:48
talking about Spears Diaz qlex
6:50
um index annuities variable annuities
6:52
migas whatever all of them have the same
6:54
low commission what if all of them had
6:56
the same built-in low commission of one
6:59
or two percent what if
7:01
what if I had six-pack abs what if I
7:04
could run a marathon what if I could
7:06
clamp climb Mount Everest you know in
7:08
shorts you know it's not going to happen
7:11
the the you know the annuity types all
7:13
having the same commission but if it did
7:15
qlax would be the number one seller why
7:17
good question I'm so glad you asked that
7:19
I can't believe you just interrupt me to
7:20
ask that but the reason you did is you
7:22
wait a minute Stan why would kill ax
7:25
be so popular well it's it's numbers
7:29
it's straight demographics with 11
7:32
000 people turning age 65 every single
7:35
day at the time at this taping it's
7:36
probably by the time you're watching
7:37
this it's probably twelve thousand
7:40
there's a lot of people out there that
7:41
are looking for guaranteed lifetime
7:43
income guarantees in general but they
7:45
need more income in in addition to that
7:48
Social Security payment that they're
7:50
getting well because most people and
7:52
most of their assets are in Ira
7:54
qualified type uh plans you know 401ks
7:58
you can roll that into an IRA Etc IRAs
8:01
you're going to have to take part of
8:03
that IRA and convert it into a lifetime
8:07
income stream or if you don't want to do
8:09
that regardless of whether you want an
8:11
income stream from your IRA or not at
8:13
the time of this taping age 73 the IRS
8:15
Taps you on the shoulder and says oh by
8:17
the way three letters rmd and you go I
8:21
don't know what rmd is it says RPM no
8:24
sir rmd and rmd is required minimum
8:27
distribution and what that is is the IRS
8:29
tapping you nicely on the shoulder not
8:31
like this not like
8:32
no they're like this
8:34
hey um hey we're the IRS and um you've
8:38
been deferring taxes all this time these
8:41
rmds you're going to have to start
8:42
taking them at the time of this taping
8:44
age 73 and you're gonna have to take the
8:47
money out regardless whether you want to
8:49
or not now some people argue with me I
8:51
call that a forced annuity because it
8:53
really is they're forcing you to take
8:55
payments on an annual basis which leads
8:58
us back to qlex qlax
9:01
have something to do with the rmds qlax
9:04
at the time of this taping and I'm sure
9:06
it's going to change because our
9:07
Congress keeps raising the limit to try
9:10
to attract you to buy one at the time of
9:12
the statement you can put in two hundred
9:13
thousand dollars per person so if you're
9:15
if you I'm talking to the males out
9:18
there okay or the females I'm talking to
9:19
you if you have an IRA you can put 200
9:22
000 in if your spouse has an IRA they
9:24
can put two hundred thousand dollars
9:26
in a q lag okay now why would you do
9:30
that if
9:32
the Dual acts allow you to defer income
9:36
starting at a future date now the IRS
9:39
rules currently in place say that
9:41
you can defer as far out as age 85 you
9:45
don't have to go as far out as age 85 a
9:47
lot of people I've never bought Q whack
9:50
because I don't want to defer that far
9:52
out to age 85. and I can tell by the way
9:55
I can talk seven because I'm from North
9:57
Carolina I know how to do that so don't
9:58
get mad no letters and emails please
10:00
okay so but you can start it sooner than
10:03
that but this but once again IRS loves
10:06
to tap you on this show there so if you
10:08
get if you buy culac by 885 tap tap tap
10:12
tap you gotta take income from it at
10:15
that point in time so a lot of people
10:17
use it for for reasons like
10:19
to hedge future inflation please don't
10:21
let inflation live in your head for free
10:23
living your brain for free nobody knows
10:25
what's going to happen with that but
10:27
this is a way to combat it because
10:28
you're going to get more money coming in
10:30
okay but there's really in my opinion
10:33
there's three reasons that you need to
10:36
consider buying Aquila okay and I'm
10:39
going to talk about the limitations in a
10:41
minute as well the first reason is
10:42
future income like I just said you can
10:45
put in 200 000 that time of this taping
10:47
and you can defer out as age 85 or you
10:49
could ladder you could take half and
10:51
start it at age 78 and the other half
10:54
started age 85 those are things that we
10:55
need to talk about go to my site at the
10:57
annuityman.com schedule call you might
11:00
get me so the first way is hey future
11:03
income the second reason you would
11:05
consider it
11:06
would be
11:08
you know my spouse is put up with me all
11:11
this time and put up with my craziness
11:12
and my eccentricities
11:15
and you can add that spouse for joint
11:17
lifetime income meaning that when you
11:19
die
11:20
when you die and your wife cries for at
11:23
least a day or two
11:24
then they're going to get that lifetime
11:26
income stream from your IRA hello Legacy
11:29
anyone
11:30
l-e-g-a-c-y Legacy
11:33
and your spouse deserves it and I'm
11:36
talking not only the males that's
11:37
treated their wives like crap I'm
11:39
talking about the wives out there that
11:41
treated your mouth like crap your
11:42
husband's like crap you know who you are
11:44
stop hiding
11:47
so once again two reasons first reason
11:50
lifetime future income in the starting
11:53
at a future date lifetime income as long
11:55
as you're breathing and on a ventilator
11:58
that's a ventilator
12:00
it still Pain still pain okay because
12:03
the ventilator's on as long as you're
12:05
breathing it's still pain
12:06
the third reason that you would buy a
12:09
Cula the third reason not the first the
12:12
Third
12:14
is that that two hundred thousand
12:16
dollars
12:17
is not included in your required minimum
12:20
distributions AKA rmd calculations give
12:24
you an example let's just say you have a
12:27
five hundred thousand dollar IRA and you
12:30
bought a two hundred thousand dollar
12:31
culac
12:32
and 73 in in that 200 000 here is going
12:36
to see me and you had the discussion
12:37
it's going to start at age 80 and you're
12:40
now 73 and you got to take a requirement
12:42
of distributions
12:43
okay so you have a five hundred thousand
12:46
dollar Ira you bought a two hundred
12:47
thousand dollar culac when you go to
12:49
calculate your required minimum
12:50
distributions
12:53
you're only going to be paying rmds on
12:55
300 000 not the 500 000 because the two
12:58
hundred thousand dollar Q like is not
13:00
included in those calculations
13:02
how about that a legal way legal
13:07
l-e-g-a-l for some politicians out there
13:09
that don't know how to spell that legal
13:11
luck way to lower your taxes or tax
13:16
liability
13:17
on those Ira assets and the rmds that
13:20
you have to take and what are the rmds
13:22
it's a forced annuity I'm glad you
13:23
remember that because I pointed that out
13:25
earlier and there will be a test later
13:27
so once again let's do a middle order
13:28
the three reasons to buy or consider
13:31
buying a q lack qualified longevity
13:34
annuity contract number one future
13:37
income to combat inflation and so you
13:39
can spend more money and live life to
13:41
its fullest in chapter two of your life
13:42
number two you can add your spouse as a
13:45
joining new attempt meaning they're
13:47
going to get paid as long as one of you
13:48
is breathing and you deserve to add them
13:51
to the to that because they've been
13:52
putting up with your rear end both male
13:54
and female out there forever you owe
13:57
them that and then the third reason is
13:59
the tax savings because that amount that
14:02
you put into a q lag right now at the
14:05
time of this taping 200 000 is not
14:07
included in your rmds require minimum
14:10
distribution calculations now here's the
14:13
part where I pause I take a breath
14:16
I reflect upon life and how good it is
14:18
and then I peel back right to you and I
14:20
look you straight down and go here's the
14:22
reason here's here's the reason you
14:24
don't buy a culi
14:27
do not call me and say
14:30
um for the tax savings
14:33
wrong wrong I'm not gonna let you do
14:35
that do not let anyone do that I can't
14:37
imagine you buying a cue like from
14:39
anyone else but me anyway but let's just
14:41
say your brother-in-law's in the
14:42
business he's like hey Jimmy back you're
14:45
like grab me I need a car payment I mean
14:47
if you're going to do that I mean don't
14:49
buy it for the taxi the tax savings that
14:52
200 000 that you're not using to include
14:55
in the rmd calculations that cannot be
14:58
the first reason you buy a culat once
15:00
again first reason future income second
15:02
reason joint the spouse can be added as
15:06
a joint annuit annuitant means payout
15:08
person
15:09
so as long as if you die they get the
15:11
income continue uninterrupted and
15:13
unchanged but the third reason in order
15:15
ranked are the tax savings
15:19
or are we clear as they said in a few
15:21
good mid crystal crystal clear crystal
15:25
now
15:27
let's talk about
15:30
kind of the history of these culax for a
15:32
second probably should have done this
15:33
first but you know when I get in front
15:35
of the camera it's a whirlwind it's like
15:38
handing the mic
15:39
to who's your favorite to Elvis Presley
15:42
or someone like that I mean it's just
15:44
magic I just I just go you know it might
15:47
it's a free form of mental acuity
15:50
flowing into the education and into your
15:54
brain so that you can fully understand
15:57
now for the people in the that's
15:58
listened to me on all podcast platforms
16:00
I had some really good hand gestures
16:02
there just imagine the happy hand Squier
16:05
you know it's kind of like that but when
16:08
when culex first came out of course the
16:11
government didn't make it simple even
16:14
though they'd call me and say Stan what
16:16
do you think what do you think how do
16:17
you think we should uh how do you think
16:18
it was instruction I say simple so
16:20
simple that a nine-year-old could
16:22
understand it that I could explain it to
16:23
a group of second graders no offense to
16:25
second graders or nine-year-olds but did
16:28
they listen to me no they did so the
16:30
first when it first came as a 125 000
16:33
um but the way that you that's the max
16:35
but you take 25 of your Total IRA assets
16:38
and you take the lesser of the two I'm
16:39
oh my God I'm gonna kill myself and they
16:41
so they they love that the government
16:44
loves that they have to be fancy and
16:46
crazy and complicated
16:49
so then whether well you know where we
16:51
hear you stand but what we're going to
16:52
do is we're going to raise it so they
16:53
went from 125 and then it went to 135
16:55
and then when it went to 145 145 000 per
16:59
per person okay well that has an IRA but
17:02
they still had that crazy 25 of your
17:05
Total IRA assets and you need to take
17:08
the the it's it's crazy the lesser of
17:10
the two blah so we had to go through all
17:13
these gyrations finally they listen to
17:17
reason listen to the simplistic nature
17:19
of the standing nudie man Vibe that's
17:21
taking this country by storm when it
17:24
comes to annuities and it's just two
17:26
hundred thousand so if you have two
17:29
hundred and one thousand dollars in your
17:31
IRA you can put two hundred thousand
17:34
dollars into culac and the IRS is
17:36
checking that box they're good
17:40
they should have started there of course
17:42
but you know here's the thing
17:44
when we're dealing with the government
17:45
we have to be happy that they we have to
17:48
be happy no we we should be
17:51
content that they came to the conclusion
17:54
that they should have come to earlier
17:56
instead sometimes the government never
17:58
gets to the simple conclusion they just
18:00
continue to keep it crazy
18:02
and complicated but in this case they
18:04
made it very simple two hundred thousand
18:07
no percentages no adding up just two
18:11
hundred thousand if you have 200 000
18:12
qualified accounts you can buy a cue
18:15
like you don't have to put that much
18:16
money in or you could take a portion and
18:18
you could ladder it you could say okay
18:20
I'm going to take a third of it and have
18:22
income start at 77 and the third have an
18:25
income start at age 80 and a third have
18:27
income started age 85. now
18:31
a lot of you are hanging in there with
18:33
me because you want to hear me sing
18:34
later and I understand that I don't I
18:36
don't blame you for that because I do
18:37
have a very good voice okay but let's
18:40
talk about the downside of culax the
18:43
downside of qlex because yes all annuity
18:46
types have downsized I know you're like
18:47
no way I went to this bad chicken dinner
18:51
expensive steak dinner seminar and
18:53
everything that agent told me about
18:55
annuities sounded great
18:57
foreign
18:58
don't get me started that's the reason I
19:00
wear people always say why do you wear
19:02
hats well number one I like hats
19:04
baseball caps for people on the podcast
19:05
weren't a light blue Carolina blue
19:07
baseball cap but it's now because my
19:10
hair is getting grayer because I hear
19:12
these crazy sales pitches the the
19:14
downside of a culac it's an irrevocable
19:17
contract not revocable irrevocable
19:23
you're locked in
19:25
you're going to get your payments back
19:27
but there's no liquidity features okay
19:30
you can't call me up two years later you
19:31
know what thing I bought that cue lack
19:34
from you but I my brother is selling his
19:37
boat his Bassmaster boat and I want to
19:40
buy it with the culac money you can't
19:41
you can't do that even though I love
19:43
bass and fishing for bass used to do
19:46
that with my dad a long time ago but
19:47
that's how they all know the story but
19:48
you do those kind of things in the South
19:50
you fish fish for largemouth and small
19:52
mouth bass but typically Southerners
19:55
like to fish for largemouth bass bass
19:57
yes there will be a test later in the
20:00
podcast but the the contract Q Act is
20:03
irrevocable the other limitation is
20:06
there's no trackable interest rate now
20:09
let's stop and pause here for just a
20:11
second so I can clarify something if
20:13
you're one of those people out there or
20:16
as they say in the commercial don't be a
20:18
jackwagon I like wagon instead of the
20:20
other world don't be a jackwagon if
20:22
you're one of those Jack wagons out
20:23
there that says I never bought two
20:25
lights cause if it if a dog the annuity
20:27
company keeps the money and that's just
20:28
not fair
20:30
now can you structure it like that life
20:32
only which would be the highest payment
20:34
yes you can but the vast majority of
20:37
people who buy qlex from wa that's
20:39
French for standing annuity man
20:42
structure it life with cash refund which
20:44
means that the annuity company is on the
20:47
hook to pay you contractually obligated
20:50
as long as you're breathing or on a
20:52
ventilator but when you die when your
20:54
Learjet hits the mountain when your bass
20:56
boat flips and you drown
20:59
100 of NES money goes to the beneficiary
21:02
in the evil annuity company doesn't keep
21:03
a penny even though they're on the hook
21:06
to pay I'm going to say it again because
21:07
I need you to understand
21:09
culac life with cash refund means that
21:12
they're going to pay you for life if
21:15
it's joint life with cash refund they're
21:17
going to pay one of you as long as one
21:19
of you is breathing for life
21:21
but when the second spouse dies in joint
21:23
life or the single uh if it's single
21:25
life if if you die 100 of any unused
21:30
money goes to the listed beneficiary of
21:33
the policy in the evil annuity company
21:34
doesn't keep a penny under any
21:37
circumstance and if you live to 190 or
21:40
290 they're going to pay you that's the
21:43
transfer of risk nature of buying a
21:45
lifetime income annuity love when people
21:47
go what's the return on investment on
21:49
that what's the ROI son
21:52
there's no Roi until you die Chester
21:55
it's a transfer of risk do you run Roi
21:59
numbers on Social Security no you don't
22:02
you know you by the way that's an
22:03
annuity it's the best inflation to do on
22:05
the planet you just get the payments but
22:07
for whatever reason when people go out
22:10
into the into the marketplace at the
22:12
annuityman.com and they start looking at
22:14
lifetime income payments they start look
22:16
they start comparing it to an investment
22:18
it's not an investment
22:21
okay it's a contract you're buying a
22:24
contract annuities you don't believe it
22:26
you're going to get a policy you're
22:28
going to get a contractual guarantee
22:31
period so there's no getting back to the
22:33
limitation there's no trackable interest
22:35
rates so let me give you an example
22:37
you put two hundred thousand dollars in
22:38
you want to turn on the income stream at
22:40
age 81. and you die at 76. how much how
22:45
much will your beneficiaries get 200
22:48
000.
22:48
there's no trackable interest rate now
22:51
let me let me caveat that the longer you
22:54
allow an annuity company to hold on to
22:56
the culac money the more they're going
22:58
to enhance in the South that means
23:01
increase your payment your guaranteed
23:03
payments
23:04
so let me put another way Southern
23:06
version the longer you let it cook the
23:08
more you get okay does that make sense
23:11
to everybody out there nod your head it
23:14
does make sense so going back to the
23:17
limitations there's no trackable entry
23:19
there's no trackable interest rates it's
23:20
irrevocable there's no Market
23:22
attachments so because of those three
23:25
limitations which in my opinion aren't
23:27
limitations if you understand them
23:29
you're buying a contractual guarantee
23:30
you're buying a pension you're buying
23:32
another Social Security payment if you
23:34
want to break it down Chester but but
23:36
for the fact that you know that those
23:38
three limitations exist then you also
23:42
know that it's not an investment it's a
23:44
contract now which leads me to the
23:47
pundits and the experts and the advisors
23:50
and the Masters of the Universe that
23:53
come out there and go no I've run the
23:55
number and the Monte Carlo simulations
23:57
comparing Investments to the qlex and
23:59
culax don't hold up you are an idiot who
24:04
whoever is writing that in fact I just
24:06
had a
24:07
it's had a really smart guy on my
24:09
podcast recently really smart guy like a
24:11
professor and then like two weeks later
24:13
he writes one of the dumbest articles of
24:15
all time about how cute acts don't
24:17
measure up measure measure they said
24:20
Midwest measure measure up
24:23
to Investments give me a break how about
24:27
apples and oranges anybody you can't
24:30
look at that
24:31
it's a guaranteed lifetime income
24:34
payment
24:36
plus I got to do with stocks or mutual
24:38
funds
24:39
listen if you want to be a market Maven
24:42
don't buy an annuity of any type their
24:45
contracts
24:47
but the positives are there future
24:49
income you can add a spouse for joint
24:51
lifetime income and you can save some on
24:53
taxes potentially with the rmd savings
24:57
but the limitations no Market
24:59
attachments which I think is a good
25:01
thing no trackable growth in its ear
25:04
revocable but understand
25:08
that you don't have to leave any money
25:10
on the table you can structure it live
25:13
with cash refund or joint life with cash
25:15
refund meaning that the annuity company
25:16
won't keep a penny understand that Q
25:19
lack payments are a combination of
25:21
return to principal plus interest just
25:23
like all annuitized products single
25:26
premium immediate annuities and deferred
25:28
income annuities and qlax are the
25:31
annuitized products meaning you rip the
25:33
knob off the water faucet and the income
25:34
is coming
25:36
all three of them have pretty much the
25:37
same structure no moving Parts no Market
25:40
attachments no annual fees Pro consumer
25:43
low built-in commission good for the
25:46
public
25:47
good for the public so the people who
25:49
never Bond annuity because they're all
25:51
fees are high dumb stop talking you're
25:55
making everyone around you IQ go lower
25:57
you don't know what you're talking about
25:59
with qlexbus and diss there's no annual
26:03
fees there's no Market attachment it's a
26:05
straight transfer risk you're saying to
26:07
the issuing culac company here's the
26:10
money
26:11
and you are on the hook to pay me or me
26:14
and my wife or me and my husband forever
26:16
as long as one of us is breathing but
26:18
you don't get to keep a penny
26:21
now I don't know if that's a good deal
26:23
and you don't know if that's a good deal
26:24
unless you know when you're going to die
26:26
or when your spouse is going to die when
26:27
both of you you're going to die in the
26:28
Learjet crash hopefully you're leasing
26:30
it like at a net jet instead of buying
26:32
it which seems crazy unless you have
26:34
hundreds of millions of dollars
26:37
but I want to say Happy Birthday to qlex
26:39
happy birthday to culax
26:43
it is a great product
26:45
I would encourage you to go to my site
26:47
there's I've written a culac owner's
26:49
manual that you can I don't know what
26:52
they do on myself download I don't know
26:53
what the hell is the PDF all my tech
26:56
people they know all this stuff but in
26:58
other words you can get it you can read
26:59
it and you have to pay for it you get it
27:01
for free okay we used to send them out
27:04
um hard copy and then I like it 25 000
27:06
copies I'm like that's costing a lot of
27:08
money can we just put it on the site
27:10
so you can go to the site you can run
27:13
quotes you can read the Q like owner's
27:15
manual you can read the articles I've
27:16
written on qlex and oh by the way
27:18
spoiler alert I've done a lot of culac
27:20
videos digging in and digging down and
27:23
getting dirty and getting muddy as
27:25
Denzel Washington said if you pray for
27:26
the rain you got to deal with the mud
27:28
follow me think about that I like that
27:31
it was in a movie he said he looked at
27:34
the guy and he goes you know what you
27:36
know what if you pray for rain you're
27:38
gonna have to deal with the mud I like
27:41
that I don't know what that has to do
27:42
with qlex but I love that saying I need
27:45
to write a song about that like a rock
27:47
saw like a metal song
27:49
Pray For Rain deal with the mud
27:51
you know what it might be time
27:55
it might be time to sing Happy Birthday
27:57
to kilo it really might and I'm going to
28:00
sing it sultry
28:01
I'm gonna sing it
28:03
like Marilyn Monroe sang it to John F
28:06
Kennedy remember that of course they
28:09
weren't dating and they weren't close
28:11
they were just friends
28:12
I mean I mean John F Kennedy was he was
28:15
married
28:18
but I'm probably going to sing it like
28:20
that okay but let's do a little primer
28:22
so I can get warmed up and get get in a
28:25
mood to sing this
28:27
but culax happy birthday to qlex
28:30
introduced in 2014.
28:32
happy nine-year-old birthday at the time
28:34
of this taping I think it's one of the
28:36
best pro-consumer products on the planet
28:39
but I will tell you that if you call me
28:41
at age 50 I'm gonna tell you not to buy
28:42
one if you're calling me in your early
28:44
60s I'm gonna say you sure you want to
28:46
buy one because it's irrevocable do we
28:48
really want to have something
28:49
irrevocable that long but when you're in
28:51
your like mid 60s in my opinion
28:54
let's start looking let's start planning
28:56
for chapter two of Our Lives let's start
28:58
putting that income floor in place this
29:00
being a part of it for future income
29:02
needs it makes sense
29:06
I do turn people down sometimes when
29:07
they're like 52 years I want to buy Q
29:09
like I'm like you want to have a
29:12
product that's irrevocable and we're
29:14
going to start the income 20 years from
29:16
now hmm you know if you put a loaded gun
29:18
in my head and I think you're crazy
29:19
enough to pull it I still might say no
29:22
because listen we saw more annuities
29:25
than anyone on the planet at the
29:27
annuityman.com licensed in all 50 states
29:29
that means across the country
29:31
but we don't sell it just to sell it I
29:34
mean I'm feeling pretty good I don't
29:35
have to buy any more clothes I just wear
29:37
sweats and baseball caps and t-shirts
29:39
with my logo all over we're good eight
29:42
barbecue sandwiches and banana pudding
29:44
you know I like that Nothing's Gonna
29:46
Change I don't care how much more money
29:48
I get I don't drive fancy cars because I
29:50
can't fix them I could barely put find
29:52
the push button I like the old keys but
29:54
the push button even start them anymore
29:57
