Annuities are being purchased at record levels—but most people still aren’t sure what they actually are. In this episode of Texas Size Retirement...Simplified, financial advisors David Hodson and Glen Hancock break down the confusion surrounding annuities and why they continue to spark strong opinions. The conversation explores how annuities have evolved, common misconceptions, how they compare to tools like CDs and bonds, and the role they can play in income, protection, and portfolio balance. David and Glen also discuss fees, common red flags, and the importance of understanding how an annuity fits into your overall retirement plan—rather than viewing it as a one‑size‑fits‑all solution.
