Annuities are one of the most misunderstood—and most polarizing—tools in retirement planning.
In this episode of Next Chapter Living, financial advisor Steven Sabo breaks down what annuities actually are, why they spark such strong reactions, and where common misconceptions take hold. The conversation covers how annuities work, the different types available, fees and surrender charges, and why they’re often compared to CDs, bonds, or pensions. Steven also explains how annuities can fit into a broader retirement strategy when used appropriately, and why context, transparency, and understanding your options matter far more than headlines or stigma.
