Episode notes

Are you looking to buy an annuity, but you aren't sure who to trust? With so many financial advisors, bank reps, and loud internet "gurus" pushing products, how do you know you are actually getting the best contract for your retirement?

In this video, Shawn Plummer goes off-the-cuff to explain exactly why The Annuity Expert is the ultimate resource for protecting your life savings. Shawn brings a rare, 360-degree perspective from his 18 years in the industry: he spent years training financial advisors on how to sell these products, he acts as an independent broker for over 50 carriers, and most importantly—he is a consumer who has actually purchased three annuities with his own money!

Shawn breaks down his exact process for finding clients the perfect contract. He explains how to "reverse engineer" the market to find the absolute highest Guaranteed Lifetime Income, why you must avoid B-rated companies, and the massive danger of investing in "mutated" proprietary indexes. Finally, Shawn goes on a candid rant exposing the "fee-based annuity scam" and explains why a standard commission-based contract is mathematically cheaper and safer for the consumer!
