Connect with a professional
You may be introduced to a financial advisor or insurance agent for a personal conversation.
Retirement income is personal. The information should be clear.
Annuities can serve different purposes—from creating a stream of income to addressing concerns about outliving savings. They can also have fees, withdrawal limits, and other trade-offs.
Our role is to help you approach the conversation with context, not to tell you which product to choose.
Talk through your optionsQuestions worth asking
- What do I need this money to do?
- When might I need access to it?
- What are the costs and limitations?
- Who stands behind any guarantees?
There’s no single answer for every retirement.
A few things to know.
Getting oriented is the first step. Here are answers to some common questions.
What is an annuity?
An annuity is a contract with an insurance company that can be designed to provide income, growth potential, or both. Features, costs, risks, and restrictions vary by product.
Does Retirement Scientist sell annuities?
No. We provide general information and help connect people with financial advisors and insurance agents. We do not sell insurance or financial products, and we do not give personal financial advice.
Is an annuity right for everyone?
No. Whether an annuity is suitable depends on your finances, goals, time horizon, and the specific product. A qualified professional can help you assess the trade-offs.
What happens when I ask to be matched?
