Why Annuities Can Be a Strong Retirement Tool

I love my annuity. Its for retirement, and what I love is that I will never lose money. The fee is .95% and I was given an 8% bonus on my money. I have been adding every month, and 8% bonus applies. I was tired of the money manager. He was the only one with a guaranteed income, not the customer. Yes, right thing to do. My IRA was never going to grow with the money manager. He kept charging the 1.5% fee year after year, over the same money. The stock market is a mess and so I don't need the stress of wondering how much I will have at retirement. Now I know. I have the added "guaranteed income" rider. Awsome!

To avoid any annuity disasters, do your research.

There is a great book out there called, The Great Wall Street Retirement Scam by Rick Bueter.

READ IT!!! YOU Will be so Grateful when you do!
