Annuities: Too Good to Be True?

Uncover what most salespeople won’t tell you about annuities—and when they actually make sense.

Some advisors push annuities like they’re miracle products. The truth? They’re often complex, expensive, and full of hidden tradeoffs.

This guide helps you cut through the noise—and decide what’s really right for you.

Inside this free guide, you’ll discover:

  • The 3 types of annuities (and how each one works behind the scenes)

  • How advisor commissions often shape what you’re being sold

  • The lock-up periods, fees, and fine print they hope you don’t ask about

  • When annuities may actually make sense—and how to use them properly

  • Real-world case studies that show what happens when people buy (or avoid) them

This guide is for you if you’re:

  • Retired or nearing retirement and unsure what income options are best

  • Being pitched an annuity by a broker or insurance agent

  • Wondering if your current annuity is helping—or quietly hurting—you

  • Looking for objective advice, not a sales pitch
