How the Annuity Sausage Is Made: Shootin’ It Straight With Stan “Fun With Annuities” The Annuity Man Podcast

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: 
The pricing mechanism of annuity products 
Annuities are commodity products 
Buy only the products that you understand 
 
Key Takeaways: 
Annuity pricing is primarily based on life expectancy, with interest rates playing a secondary role. Another key factor in annuity pricing is that annuity prices change based on capacity. 
Focus on the contractual guarantees when purchasing annuities, they are commodity products. So shop all carriers and find the highest contractual guarantee that is most suitable for your goal. 
Annuity products have the potential to become very complex. If you can’t explain it to a nine-year old, that means that you don’t understand it. If you don’t understand it, that means that you shouldn’t buy it. 
 
"When you're buying a lifetime income product, understand that life insurance companies have the big buildings for a reason, because they know when we're going to die and they're going to price things based on your life expectancy." —  Stan The Annuity Man.
