The Retirement Paycheck Blueprint (Zoom): Annuities Explained
Details
If you’ve ever wondered how people create a “retirement paycheck” that keeps coming—this educational Zoom meetup is for you.
We’re breaking down annuities in plain English: what they are, how they work, and where they can (and can’t) fit in a retirement plan. The presenter will walk through realistic example scenarios to show how different annuity types may be used for income, principal protection, and long-term planning—along with the trade-offs most people don’t hear upfront.
What we’ll cover:
- What an annuity is (and common misconceptions)
- Key types: Fixed, Fixed Indexed, Variable (high-level overview)
- How “lifetime income” riders generally work
- Fees, surrender periods, caps/participation rates (what to look for)
- When annuities can make sense—and when they don’t
- Example walkthroughs + live Q&A
Who should attend:
- Pre-retirees and retirees who want more income certainty
- Anyone looking to reduce market stress in retirement
- People who want to understand annuities before making decisions
