We’re talking about something that fires up a lot of folks in the financial world: the truth about annuities. We break down the four different types of annuities and the expensive fees associated with these investment vehicles.
We’re exposing the good, the bad, and the ugly in today’s show. If you’ve been contemplating buying an annuity for the stability and guarantee, you don’t want to miss this episode.
But before we get into the complexity of annuities, we want to take a moment to remind our loyal listeners that we’re fee-only financial planners outside of the podcast, and we always welcome having our listeners become clients. If you like our common sense approach to all things finance and want to learn more, please feel free to contact us: brian [at] money-guy.com or bo [at] money-guy.com.
