Follow the show: The Financial Quarterback® Podcast: Your Game Plan to Protect Your Money and Retirement

Annuities—love them or hate them, they’re everywhere in retirement planning. Josh breaks down exactly what annuities are, how they work, and whether they actually make sense for your financial future. From fixed to variable to indexed annuities, he covers the different types, how insurance companies use them, and the key factors to watch out for—like fees, surrender charges, and payout structures. He also digs into why annuities can feel like a pension and whether they’re the right fit for retirement security or just another sales pitch.
Then in 'Extra Points,' Josh looks at the classic lottery winner dilemma—should you take the lump sum or the annuity payout? He lays out the numbers, the risks, and why the right choice depends on more than just the jackpot size.
