Reality Radio for a really great future.

We're talking real money.

Let's begin with a story as old as time.

A story about you and your future, about you and your investments. Like so many, you've probably

visited with a person who claims to be a fiduciary advisor or who just provides financial services,

like your local Edward Jones or the bank down the

street. You sell a house. You collect $100,000. In 2017, you walk into your friendly neighborhood citizens bank and talk to the friendly financial advisory person in the bank about what you should do with your money.

Because you express a desire for safety and income in retirement,

they invest your money in an immediate annuity. Your $100,000 goes into the immediate

annuity, an annuity that you count on to provide income for the rest of your life.

Well, fast forward two years to 2017.

You go to get your money, some of your money out of your annuity.

You are informed by your friendly neighborhood banker that your

account with this very safe annuity is frozen. It's cold as ice. It's willing to sacrifice your money.

I didn't sing it.

And now you have to go take out a mortgage on your house to just survive because you can't get your money.

Now it's 2023.

And your money is still frozen in what was sold to you.

I guarantee it because they always are sold as an absolutely no-lose investment.

Now, the investment in question is when we talked about a couple of years ago, after a Wall Street Journal investigation.

It was called the annuity was from a banker's life.

And the story is really, really, it's terrible for investors.
