Segment 1 - 12:00

Annuities get a lot of hate, but are they misunderstood more than misused? 

This episode breaks down what annuities actually are, why so many retirees are turning to them, and how guaranteed income fits into today’s pension‑light retirement landscape. Ron Ray explains common misconceptions, the difference between annuitizing and using income riders, and why flexibility matters more than labels. The conversation also covers red flags to watch for when choosing a financial advisor, why retirement success isn’t tied to a magic savings number, and how personalized planning can replace one‑size‑fits‑all thinking. It’s a practical discussion about income, longevity, and making informed retirement decisions without chasing headlines
