How old is too old to buy an annuity? It typically doesn’t make sense to buy one if you’re under 50, and most insurance companies stop selling them once you hit 90. But as Americans live longer, our fear of outliving our savings has pushed sales of annuities to record highs. In fact, annuity sales topped $432 billion in 2024, but as Peter with Richon Planning and Erin Kennedy discuss, that doesn’t mean they’re right for everyone. In this interview, we break down:
🔹 When an annuity actually makes sense — and why timing is everything
🔹 The core problem annuities solve
🔹 How much liquidity you should keep before locking money up
🔹 The tax implications for you and your heirs
🔹 And what to consider if you’re too young or too old for an annuity If you’ve ever wondered whether an annuity fits into your retirement income plan, please give Peter a call at (919) 300-5886 or visit www.RichonPlanning.com to learn more.
