When you have finally narrowed down your options to a fixed indexed annuity then you have to start making the really tough choices. Most of them are just preference choices like mustard or mayo. Some of are not.
It's a little like buying a car. With one choice you get the rear view camera but with the other you get the new Bose surround sound system. If you can't have them both you have to choose which one is more important to you. In the same instance with your annuity you have to make some tough choices.
The basis of your choices is your anticipated need. I work my clients all the time on their anticipation of future needs. Planning for the future is a skill. It reminds of one of my favorite movies, The Matrix. The Oracle tells Neo that he can't see into the future past the choices he can't understand. Well it is the same with planning your future income needs.
Choosing a fixed indexed annuity is all about your future income needs or maybe it is your current income need which is much easier to diagnose. An annuity is designed to create income at a future date or to hold money to pass on to heirs. Is your annuity for income or to pass on to heirs?
