On the 21st episode of the Retirement Explained show, I talk about annuities; what they are, what they do, and the pitfalls of having them.

They’re not for everyone and they’re also not awful, like sometimes they’re portrayed as.

I think you’re going to enjoy today’s episode because whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer planning for retirement on your own, or you have a financial advisor that’s helping you plan for retirement and other financial goals, you will get some insight as to how I think about annuities and the role they play when I work with clients on their retirement planning needs.
