Are 8% to 15% Returns an Annuity Scam?

“Eight Percent Annual Annuity Returns”… or even better! Before You Lock In Rates… Discover Up To 15% Income For Life or how about up-to 33% More Income for Life!

Where did we find these amazing offers? Believe it or not, right in the Ad section at the top and bottom of the page when we searched Google for the word “annuity”. Surely these offers must really exist or they wouldn’t put them on Google. In fact, I know these offers do exist — unfortunately, just not the expected results for the people this advertising targets. These offers are the classic bait and switch or maybe I would call them bait and twist. How so? Let me translate it from marketing speak into English – “eight percent annual return” translates into a captive income formula (not an actual return on your money!) that never allows you to walk away with that so called eight percent return. Want the 15%? You’ll have to wait to start your income at about age 90 to get that one, and the 33% more income for life pitch [continued below video…]

Read the fine print it’s all hypothetical based on variables and comparatives that cannot be quantified for up to thirty years from now! Hence, these offers really do exist, but most of the time they are simply advertising from sales oriented annuity agents who hope you will click their ad and soon forget their click-bait after you submit your information based on their dubious offer that pulled you in, this will probably be just the beginning though, so, be prepared for even more annuity double-speak.



Just to be clear, we love annuities for what they do. We don’t believe they have to be sold by tricks or any type of deception. All financial products have pros and cons, including annuities. However, before you choose whom to work with when in comes to annuities we would ask you to think about what brought you to them – facts and education or smoke and mirrors? Do you really want an advisor who specializes in smoke and mirrors to handle your retirement?
