Annuity Plans & Rates in Florida

Achieving financial security so that you’re able to live comfortably during retirement depends on how well you plan and save while working, and how effectively you conserve your assets during retirement. It’s a great way to make sure you’ll be taken care of financially.

Besides taking care of yourself financially, annuities are worth looking into as a means of protection from creditors, an investment option, a benefit to your heirs, a tax deferral, and tax-free transfers among investment options.

An annuity is an agreement between you and your carrier under which the insurance company pays you money for a stipulated period, often for life. Although the idea of an annuity is simple, it’s also a very old concept, which has resulted in many variables and categories. Some types can be classified in more than one category. The different types are:

• Fixed — Fixed guarantees a minimum interest rate while your annuity accumulates and also guarantees equal check amounts when you withdraw from the annuity.


• Deferred or Immediate — If you want to save for a long-term goal (i.e., retirement) and have no immediate need for the money, you should consider a deferred annuity, but remember if you choose deferred, there are penalties and fees for early withdrawal. If you’ve reached retirement or are nearly there, you may want to go with an immediate annuity, which guarantees a steady income for the rest of your life, or for a predetermined time period.
