Let's Chat About Fixed Rate Annuities
We've been talking a lot about annuities recently. You may have even tuned in to Part 1 and Part 2 of our recent podcast episodes (if you haven't, click those links to give them a listen).
Today, let's narrow it down a bit. First, there are four kinds of annuities, and we're diving deep into one special type - fixed rate annuities.
So, what's the deal with fixed rate annuities? Imagine a CD from your bank, but this time, it's from an insurance company. It's like having a big umbrella shielding your dough from taxes as it grows.
But, keep in mind, the growth rate's modest - think 3% to 7%. Right now, though, you're looking at a sweet 5% to 7%.
Why go for it? That tax umbrella, my friend.
It keeps the tax off your cash, letting it grow tax-free 'til you need it.
There's a twist though - pulling your money happens in the form of LIFO - last in, first out, meaning the tax man gets his share before you're able to dip into your original investment.
But don't stress, I've included a short 2 minute video below to give you a quick crash course on fixed rate annuities, and we'll be covering the topic more in future episodes (so be sure to hit the follow button on our YouTube channel).
