Don’t buy an annuity for hypothetical, theoretical, back-tested returns. Don’t buy an annuity for the upfront bonus.&amp;nbsp; Buy an annuity for what it will do, not what it might do.&amp;nbsp; Annuities are supposed to be simple. You should understand your annuity contract enough to be able to explain it to a nine-year-old.&amp;nbsp; Annuity companies don't give away Cost of Living Adjustments or potential index increases, and instead severely lower the initial payment compared to the same annuity without those potential increases. &amp;nbsp; &quot;Annuity decisions should be simple and contractual, they have to be both. They can’t be one or the other.&quot; —&amp;nbsp; Stan The Annuity Man.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Connect with The Annuity Man:&amp;nbsp; Website: http://theannuityman.com/&amp;nbsp; Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com&amp;nbsp; Book: Owner’s Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g&amp;nbsp; Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator! “Fun With Annuities” The Annuity Man Podcast https://www.TheAnnuityMan.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/30323323/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/30323323
