Annuities Exposed!

from Leibel on FIRE · host Leibel Sternbach, EA & Freddie Bell

Thinking about buying an annuity? You might want to listen to this first. In this episode of Leibel on Fire, Leibel Sternbach breaks down the hidden fees and contractual traps buried inside most annuity products—including mortality and expense charges, administrative costs, surrender penalties, and the fine print behind those tempting guarantees. You’ll learn: - The difference between fixed, variable, and indexed annuities - What “mortality and expense” charges actually mean - How insurance companies ensure they make money—at your expense - The truth about investment riders and living benefits - What questions to ask before you buy an annuity - What you can do if you already own one Annuities aren’t inherently bad, but they’re not all created equal—and many retirees find out too late that they signed up for high fees, limited growth, and a lifetime of regret. Don’t be one of them. Schedule your free consultation with Leibel at: https://www.yields4u.com/pages/book
