Annuities might be one of the most misunderstood words in retirement planning. In this episode of the Retirement Salsa Podcast, Mike DiSalvo breaks down why annuities spark such strong reactions—and what they actually are beneath the stigma. The conversation explores the different types of annuities, common misconceptions, real-life mistakes, and the questions people should ask before considering one. Using relatable analogies and practical examples, he discusses fees, surrender periods, liquidity, and how annuities sometimes step in where pensions once existed. The focus stays on purpose, fit, and understanding how this tool may—or may not—belong in a broader financial plan.
