Can Your Annuity Income Increase With Inflation?: Shootin' It Straight With Stan


Listen Later

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.
