Think of your retirement like a three-legged stool.
Traditionally, those three legs were:
1. A company pension
2. Social Security
3. Personal savings
In our podcast episode, "The New Challenges to Retirement: Where Have All the Pensions Gone?", Joe discusses how the landscape has shifted now that private pensions are nearly extinct. If one of those legs is shortened or missing altogether, the whole stool becomes unstable.
Going into retirement requires confidence and stability. You need your portfolio to grow, but you also need to know the exact required dollar amount landing in your bank account each month to live comfortably.

Fixed Annuities are long term insurance contracts and there is a surrender charge imposed generally during the first 5 to 7 years that you own the annuity contract. Indexed annuities are insurance contracts that, depending on the contract, may offer a guaranteed annual interest rate and some participation growth, if any, of a stock market index. Such contracts have substantial variation in terms, costs of guarantees and features and may cap participation or returns in significant ways. Investors are cautioned to carefully review an indexed annuity for its features, costs, risks, and how the variables are calculated. Any guarantees offered are backed by the financial strength of the insurance company. Surrender charges apply if not held to the end of the term. Withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to 59 ½, a 10% federal tax penalty.
