You might be surprised to learn that even billionaires qualify for Social Security — but for most retirees, it only covers part of the income picture. In this episode of the Summit Ascent Podcast, Dustin Rudolph breaks down how annuities are commonly used to help address the gap between Social Security and retirement expenses. The discussion explores how annuities compare to pensions, why they’re often misunderstood, and how they can provide predictable income alongside other retirement assets. Dustin also addresses common concerns around liquidity, flexibility, longevity risk, and the future of Social Security, offering context on where annuities may — or may not — fit within a broader retirement income strategy.
