In this episode of the Retire Early podcast, financial advisors and retirement planners Linwood Fraher & Sam Benson take a deep dive into annuities—what they are, how they work, and whether they make sense for your retirement plan.

Linwood and Sam also address common misconceptions about annuities, when they might fit into a retirement strategy, and when you may be better off with other investment options. This episode will help you cut through the noise and make an informed decision about whether an annuity belongs in your financial plan.
