In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: 

• Annuities that increase with inflation 

• The role of interest rates in pricing 

• For products that adjust for inflation

• Reverse-engineering your income floor

 

Key Takeaways: 

• Annuities don’t give things away for free. A product that magically increases with inflation doesn’t exist. 

• Lifetime income is primarily priced based on your life expectancy at the time you take the payment. Interest rates play a minor role. 

• For products that have a potential or contractual increase for inflation, the annuity company will severely lower the initial income as compared to the exact annuity without the increase. 

• Don’t focus on things that you can’t control. Focus on building up an income floor that suits your needs. Compute the number you’ll need to cover your expenses; we can reverse-engineer a product for that. 

 

"It's math to the annuity companies. It should be math to you. If it sounds too good to be true, it is every single time. " —  Stan The Annuity Man.
