This episode explores why annuities are gaining traction again and what’s changed from their troubled reputation years ago. Jimmy Lin breaks down how modern annuities differ, including improved flexibility, potential legacy features, and their role in today’s higher interest rate environment. The conversation also addresses common misconceptions, the risks tied to variable annuities, and how fees and market exposure can impact outcomes.
