Take emotions out of financial decisions, and focus on building an income floor for your retirement.&amp;nbsp;   Life insurance companies primarily price annuities based on life expectancy. Although a Cost Of Living Adjustment can be attached to annuities, it could lower your initial payments to make up for that adjustment.&amp;nbsp;   Prepare for both political outcomes by considering various different financial strategies. Have a plan in place to manage taxes and protect assets. Have a fact-based approach when it comes to planning and focus on contractual guarantees. Be rational, practical, and pragmatic.&amp;nbsp;   Structure an annuity to meet your specific financial goals. Consider both qualified and non-qualified accounts when planning for retirement. Have a comprehensive financial plan that includes annuities and other financial instruments. Utilize annuities to plan for your legacy and provide an income for your heirs.&amp;nbsp;   &amp;nbsp; &quot;What I'm encouraging you to do is get rid of the politics - this is about your money, your family, your legacy. With money, whether you're in the stock market, bond market, annuity market, it should be a non-emotional, fact-based decision.&quot; \u2014&amp;nbsp; Stan The Annuity Man &amp;nbsp; Connect with The Annuity Man:&amp;nbsp; Website: http:\/\/theannuityman.com\/&amp;nbsp; Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com&amp;nbsp; Book: Owner\u2019s 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!&amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"\u201cFun With Annuities\u201d The Annuity Man Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.TheAnnuityMan.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/33076677\/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>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/33076677"}
