A product that magically increases with inflation doesn\u2019t exist.  Lifetime income is primarily priced based on your life expectancy at the time you take the payment.

Focus on building up an income floor that suits your needs. Compute the number you\u2019ll need to cover your expenses; we can reverse-engineer a product for that.    "It's math to the annuity companies. It should be math to you.
