Many have never heard of annuities. Perhaps the easiest way to grasp the concept of annuities is to first discuss life insurance products. Life insurance is a contract that pays a benefit in the event you die unexpectedly. In turn, annuities are a contract that pay a benefit in the event you live too long. Annuities are a vehicle that is used to save for one’s retirement, just as some use certificates of deposit (CDs) and 401(k)s.
