In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Options that annuities provide Living off interest  When to annuitize  Laddering interest rate movements    Key Takeaways:  Annuities provide more options than just immediate lifetime income annuities. There are various types like Multi-Year Guarantee Annuities, Index Annuities, Variable Annuities, and Deferred Income Annuities that can be used for different income needs. With current interest rates, it may be possible to live off the interest from a portfolio of fixed-rate annuities and CDs without having to annuitize and lock in a lifetime income stream. This can provide more flexibility. Annuitization should be viewed as a last resort option if interest rates drop significantly and living off the interest is no longer sufficient. It's important to maintain a diversified approach. When using fixed-rate annuities and CDs for income, it's recommended to ladder the products to avoid having to time interest rate movements. This provides more stability and flexibility.   "Annuitization at this point in time, for a lot of you out there that have large sums of money, is a last resort. And we will go there if rates move down, but if they remain at these levels at the time of this tape and they go up from here, then you're going to be able to, potentially, hopefully, depending on what your income needs are, take the interest and never touch the principle." —  Stan The Annuity Man.    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: [email protected]  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!
