Annuity Straight Talk

From 5% to 7%: Annuity Income Has Changed A Lot


Listen Later

Back in 2021, a 5% payout from a guaranteed income product was considered a solid deal. Today, that same product pays over 7%. In this episode, Bryan takes a look back at an early podcast episode to show just how much the annuity landscape has shifted—and why it matters for your retirement plan.

Whether you've been researching annuities for years or are just starting your search, this episode breaks down:

  • What higher interest rates have done to annuity income

  • How much more income you can expect today

  • Why the math is finally tipping in favor of guaranteed income

    It’s a short, eye-opening look at the evolving value of annuities—and a good reminder that timing matters.
