When you are 80 or 90 are going to be as agile in your decision making as

agile in your decision-making as you are today? Probably not. That's why this month on the retirement

Antriman's show we are going to explore whether you should make decisions today for your future

self in the form of securing lifetime income using annuities.

Oh yeah, get your nerd on this month.

So we're going to explore annuities on the show and whether they have a place in your retirement journey.

So welcome to the show.

My name is Roger Whitney.

I am your host, and this is the show dedicated

to helping you not just survive retirement. We want you to

rock retirement not just now while you're agile but we want you to be able to

rock retirement securely in your 80s and in

your 90s, hey maybe even into your hundreds.

I think this is a good segue from our topic last month of longevity in retirement.

So today what we're going to do is we are going to focus on the basics of what the heck is an annuity. So we understand the basics and

then we'll start to piece together over the month how different types of annuities work and how they might or might not fit into your journey.

So strap yourself in, you're going to be a nerdy month. We'll try to make it as fun as possible. But first, that all-important disclaimer.

So I was asked recently if I could put this very annoying disclaimer at the end of the show

that maybe even mentioned this before. Well, I could, but I'm not.

This is important.

It's important that you remember that, hey,

nobody knows your situation.
