Bryan Anderson, founder of Annuity Straight Talk, speaks with Ashok Ramji, a financial consultant with TOP Planning LLC, an independent asset protection and retirement income planning firm serving retirees and pre-retirees alike. In this episode, our hosts put the spotlight on an annuity rider called the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB). 

Bryan and Ashok explain why it can be a wonderful planning tool if you want to annuitize certain assets for lifetime income. They introduce three levers that can get your income up to the desired amount but also caution you about the trade-offs. 

Bryan and Ashok then talk about how some products affect spouses or partners, presenting the difference between single and joint payouts. They also throw in a brief history lesson on riders, ending the podcast with the pros and cons of GWLBs.
