Was it worth it? I don’t know yet.

There is not enough information in this article to make a judgement or suggest a “better” strategy.
However, I found it interesting.
You will recall that historically this media source was known as “National Underwriter.” It was a news magazine that catered to the life insurance and annuity markets.
I found it to be immensely valuable at the time.
However, today they are called “ThinkAdvisor.”
I had to pay nearly $600.00 to them this morning, just to get access to their “premium” content.
Was it worth it? I don’t know yet.
However, this first article that I am reading has me thinking that they are no longer interested in serving the life insurance and annuity industry.
Take a look.
(It appears that Raman Singh, CFP®, EA isn’t opposed to life insurance/annuities for his clients, when used appropriately; but that is a guess.)
SN: As for “commission-heavy products like annuities,” the typical annuity sold pays the agent a 4.78% commission (half of that for older annuitants), a single time. This is a commission that is paid by the insurance company; it is not deducted from the annuitant’s money. Perhaps Raman will share what his one-time fee on this case was? -sjm
