With multi-year guarantee annuities and fixed-rate annuities, you give the annuity company your money for a specific period of time, If you\u2019re signing up for a lifetime income product with an annuity company, you\u2019ll be there for life, so you have to make sure they can back up the contractual guarantees they claim.  If you\u2019re marrying the annuity, get lifetime income products where the annuity company will pay you a guaranteed amount as long as you\u2019re breathing.  If you have enough money to peel off the interest and never touch the principal, then you can date the MYGAs and ladder them into a two-three-four year ladder or three-five-seven year ladder.    "We\u2019re either marrying or dating the annuity, and it depends on the type. With the lifetime income products, we're marrying them. With short-term, multi-year guarantee annuities, we're dating them." \u2014  Stan The Annuity Man.   Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http:\/\/theannuityman.com\/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner\u2019s 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!  ","author_name":"\u201cFun With Annuities\u201d The Annuity Man Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.TheAnnuityMan.com","html":"
