Is an Annuity Right for You?

Wealth protection, growth, and guaranteed income in retirement — weighed honestly

Guaranteed income sounds good. Here is how to weigh what it costs.

By Bruce J. Smith III · Inside Your Retirement™: A Fiduciary’s Library

What this book is

Price the gap. Not the portfolio.

Annuities are among the most misunderstood tools in retirement finance — sometimes pitched to people who don’t need them, and never shown to some who do. Is an Annuity Right for You? starts where the seminar never does: with the one number an income annuity should be hired against.

You will come away knowing
  • The gap — what it is, how inflation widens it, and why it is the entire assignment
  • What annuities do brilliantly, what they do badly, and how to tell which you’re buying
  • The two lines on every illustration — and which one is in the contract
  • The four things that make an annuity worth buying — and the questions to ask before you sign

An annuity is a tool, not a verdict — and tools are sized to jobs.
