0:26How Annuities Provide Lifetime Income
00:26
So, let's talk about a fixed life annuity. So in essence, immediate annuities, deferred income annuities, qualified longevity annuity contracts, and income writers provide lifetime income. Income for as long as you're breathing if you set it up joint
00:44
with the spouse as long as one of you is breathing, and the income continues uninterrupted and unchanged. We also can structure it so that 100% of any unused money goes to the family, not the annuity company. A lot of you out there might think that when you die, annuity
00:60
money goes poof. It does not. Unless you choose that. I mean, that's one of the 45 choices that you can choose. If you're a missenthrop and hate your family, I understand. Uh my sympathies, empathy, but um most people work hard and they they they've scrimped and saved
01:17
and they want the lifetime income, but they want to know if they die day two, money goes to the family. And we can structure so that that happens. But still the annuity company's on the hook to pay. So what does it really solve for? Financial journalists call it
01:31
longevity risk. What that means in English Stanglish Stan the annuity man isms is the fear of outliving your money. Now every single one of you with

01:58
teacher, military, whatever, you have a pension and I think 9% of companies now offer pensions. I think that's dropping.

03:18
x amount of money is to be purchased for immediate annuities for each daughter for lifetime income. I don't know if social security is going to be here. I don't know if they're going to means test them out of it. I don't know. But I do know this. I'm going to set it up to

5:00What Annuities Solve For
05:01
So, the annuities that solve for lifetime income, they solve for longevity risk, they solve for peace of mind, they solve for transfer of risk as long as you're breathing income coming into that income floor in combination with social security, in combination
05:15
with a pension, combination with dividend stocks, whatever is hitting your bank account. Just remember this with annuitities and for lifetime income. Always use the least amount of money to solve contractually for the goal. Always. I'm the only one that's going to tell you
05:33
that. Also too, let's talk about, you
5:33How To Solve For Inflation With Annuities
05:35
know, we're talking about solving. What does it solve for? It solves for longevity risk. Outlive the fear of outliving your money. You have to be thinking in the back of your head, okay, Stan, what about inflation? How's inflation? How's that happen? Well, um, there's no mark
05:51
there's no magic product that anyone has out there, regardless of what they might tell you, that adjusts for inflation using annuities. The way to do it is is to use an immediate annuity at that time to solve for that gap. Remember the income floor, you need to find out what
06:05
that income floor is. Annuities can fill that gap for needed income. All right? So, that's that's how that works. But annuities in essence solve for four things contractually. That acronym again is pill. P stands for principal protection. I stands for
06:23
income for life. L stands for legacy. The other L stands for long-term care. What we're talking about is the I income for life. And we ask two questions. What do you want the money to contractually do? When do you want those contractual guarantees to start? From those two
06:36
answers, we can point you to the products that are going to give you the highest contractual guarantee for your lifetime income or joint life lifetime income. And for all of you out
6:47Important Advice For Married Couples
06:47
there kind of masters of the universe that say, well, you know, I've researched and and income is higher when when it's on one life. You think player? Of course. But if you're married, do a joint life. Stop threading the needle. Stop trying to be master of the
07:04
universe. Set it up to where when your spouse comes back from your funeral in the limo, cried for just a little bit, but the but the limo passes the bank and she glances at the bank and says that lifetime income is going to continue uninterrupted and unchanged. You know,
07:25
Bill did Bill did did a solid one for me. Because if you set it up your life with your your spouse as the beneficiary, the income doesn't continue. You need to structure it so that both of you are going to get lifetime income as long as one of you is are breathing. Don't be fancy.
