annuity

 An annuity is a financial product designed to provide steady income, typically during retirement. You invest funds with an insurance company, and in return, the annuity helps grow your money and can provide guaranteed income for a set period or for life.

Annuities are commonly used to complement Social Security and other retirement plans by offering predictability and long-term financial security.

 Annuities offer several key advantages for retirement planning, including:

• Guaranteed income you can’t outlive (depending on the annuity type)
   
• Tax-deferred growth, allowing your money to grow faster over time
   
• Protection from market volatility with certain annuity options
   
• Flexible payout options tailored to your retirement goals
   
• Legacy and beneficiary options to help protect your loved ones
   
• Optional living and death benefit riders for added security

 Annuities provide unique benefits that set them apart from traditional retirement accounts like 401(k)s or IRAs:

• No contribution limits unlike many employer-sponsored plans
   
• Guaranteed lifetime income, which most retirement accounts do not offer
   
• Lower risk options compared to market-based investments
   
• Predictable income streams for budgeting and long-term planning
   
• Ideal for individuals seeking income stability rather than market exposure
   

Annuities work especially well as part of a diversified retirement strategy, offering balance and peace of mind.
