A Reliable Income Stream for Retirement

Planning for retirement means preparing for a future where your income must last—often for decades. Annuities are a powerful tool that can help provide guaranteed income, protect your savings, and bring peace of mind in retirement. They’re especially valuable for individuals looking to supplement Social Security and reduce the risk of outliving their money.

With the right annuity plan, you can turn a portion of your retirement savings into predictable monthly payments for life or for a set number of years.



Common reasons people choose annuities:

  • Guaranteed lifetime income
  • Protection from market downturns
  • Tax-deferred growth
  • Legacy planning for heirs

Types of Annuities Available

Annuities are not one-size-fits-all. They come in a variety of forms to meet different financial goals and risk levels. Here's an overview of the most common options:


Fixed Annuities
These offer a guaranteed interest rate and predictable payouts. They are ideal for conservative investors who prioritize stability and income security.


Indexed Annuities
These are tied to the performance of a market index (like the S&P 500), offering growth potential while protecting your principal. A good balance between growth and safety.


Variable Annuities
Variable annuities allow you to invest in sub-accounts, similar to mutual funds. Returns vary with market performance, and they often include optional income and death benefit riders.


Immediate Annuities
Perfect for those nearing retirement, immediate annuities begin paying out shortly after a lump-sum payment is made. Great for converting savings into income right away.



Deferred Annuities
Designed to accumulate value over time, with payouts starting later. A strong option if you’re still a few years away from needing income.

Key Questions to Ask Before Buying an Annuity

Choosing an annuity is a long-term decision. Here are a few important questions to consider:


  • How soon will you need income?
  • Do you want lifetime income or income for a set period?
  • Are you comfortable with market risk?
  • Is leaving money to beneficiaries a priority?
  • How does the annuity fit into your overall retirement plan?

Why Work with a Professional?

Annuities can be complex, and not all are created equal. A licensed insurance professional can help you:


  • Compare products from multiple insurance carriers
  • Understand the fees, features, and guarantees
  • Customize a strategy that aligns with your goals
  • Avoid common pitfalls and high-commission products
