Download or read book Don t Die Broke written by David Reindel and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massive numbers of 50-plus baby boomers will be retiring in the next few years. How will they finance that retirement? This practical guide presents an often overlooked but commonsense solution. Expert David Reindel argues persuasively for the preservation of assets, rather than a risk-prone obsession with the accumulation of them. Crucial to this process, he explains, is the humble annuity. Why have these time-honored investment tools generated so much negative attention in recent years? Don’t Die Broke details the financial industry’s misrepresentations of the annuity, and how — set up and managed correctly — it can offer the most reliable income source for boomers in this era of economic uncertainty. This book is both a clear-minded analysis of the forces that have led us to the present calamity and a reassuring roadmap to a more secure future.

Download or read book Annuity 360 Learn All You Need to Know about Annuities written by Ford Stokes and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a lot of misconceptions around annuities. Most of them revolve around the sale of variable annuities from brokers where there is a lot of overpromising done, in my Humble opinion. For example, a variable annuity is a security and therefore is an investment that inherently carries risk and comes with high fees. For variable annuities, 3-6 percent in fees could come out of the overall account value annually versus just a 0-1 percent annual fee with a Fixed Indexed Annuity. My number one goal in writing this book is to educate American pre-retirees and retirees on the extreme value of investing in an accumulation-based annuity. In this book, you will learn how you can eliminate the advisory fees that you pay on bonds that you may currently hold within your portfolio if you have a financial advisor. We will also discuss the metric power of a strategic bond replacement, the power of zero, and the current price to earnings ratio of bonds.
