Billy believes that many people are unknowingly throwing income down the drain due to a lack of understanding. Intuitively people may think that drawdown is the \u201cbest thing since sliced bread\u201d. But, in reality, and especially now that interest rates and bond yields have increased, an annuity is actually a very hard act to beat! Listen here to find out why this is the case!
