This isn't going to be another one of those articles trying
convince you to buy life insurance. In fact, we'd like to focus on something
a little different.
There's no doubt, life insurance is important - you buy it to protect
against dying too soon. On the other hand, how can you protect yourself
from living too long? We all hope for an extended, prosperous life, but
the truth is, the longer we live the thinner our financial resources
become, sometimes depleting our life savings. What then? Consider an
annuity.
An annuity is an agreement between you and an insurance company. In
exchange for the money you invest, the company agrees to pay you an income,
usually for life. Before you begin collecting your income, the annuity
earns money, just like any other investment. The earnings depend on how
much you invest, how much the annuity accounts earn and how long you
choose to wait before starting to receive payments.
Wouldn't you feel better knowing that you will have an income you can
never outlive? If you would like to know more about annuities, please
