Episode #34

Annuities are always a good investment idea, especially when you’re looking for ways to supplement your income in retirement. Retirees who have an annuity have more fun because it reassures them that they won’t outlive their savings. The annuity also allows them to open their wallets whenever they want and have a good time without worrying afterward.
