Roth IRA Annuity Industry Insanity: Shootin' It Straight With Stan


Listen Later

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:

  • Seeing through product-driven Roth pitches

  • Recognizing political risk in long-term tax planning

  • Keeping conversions separate from annuity products

  • Avoiding shiny-object sales tactics

Key Takeaways:

  • Treat Roth conversions as tax decisions rather than annuity strategies. Rely on math and tax guidance instead of sales-driven framing.

  • Understand that tax-free structures like Roths can face future policy shifts. Plan with awareness that political changes may affect long-term assumptions.

  • Run conversion numbers independently of any annuity recommendation. Evaluate tax impact, break-even timing, and personal comfort before acting.

  • Watch for bonuses, churning, and pressure to "flip" existing annuities. Focus on guarantees, documentation, and advice from qualified tax professionals.

"You should never do a Roth conversion without talking to a Certified Financial Planner, a CPA, or tax lawyer. Period." — Stan The Annuity Man
