I still have some work to do over the weekends so its no stock analysis, less reading, all work. Meantime, I came across some stuff that you might find interesting. Something on FIRE, something on media coverage, a little on the HENRYs and my thoughts on annuities. My Thoughts on Annuities In my last Sunday article, I profiled how an insurance adviser manages the potentially volatile nature of his income. He has a question for me that I forgot to address and so I do owe him an answer. Basically, what do I think about annuities? It is a weird question but this question can be about what I think about it as a wealth accumulation tool and what I think about it as part of retirement spending. I think my friend is more interested in my opinion about it as a retirement tool.
