Lump Sum vs. Annuity: Which Payout is Better?

Retire For Less With The Annuity Expert by Shawn Plummer

Episode notes

Should you take the lump sum payout for your pension, or is it better to take the monthly annuity benefit? In this video, Shawn from The Annuity Expert explains why taking the lump sum is almost always the better financial decision for your retirement.

When you take the monthly benefit from your employer, you lose control of your money, give up flexibility, and often settle for a poor death benefit. Shawn breaks down how rolling your lump sum over into an IRA Annuity allows you to keep control of your retirement savings, earn interest, maintain a lump sum death benefit, and still create a guaranteed lifetime income stream that you can actually control.
