Annuities are more popular than ever—yet most people still misunderstand what they actually do.
In this episode of Your Retirement, Your Story, Lawrence Olivier and Redd Sessions unpack the “annuity puzzle” and explain why this tool often gets a bad reputation. They break down the different types of annuities, why some deserve skepticism, and how today’s modern annuities can serve specific purposes like income, growth, and risk management when used appropriately. The conversation covers fees, surrender charges, common red flags, and why “purpose determines placement” when deciding if an annuity belongs in a retirement plan. It’s a practical, no‑jargon discussion designed to replace confusion with clarity.
