What's this?

My wife and I rolled over accumulated 401k into an annuity last year

part of it guaranteed fixed and part playing the market. The market part has done very well. We also go some long term care policies, may never need it but we don't have kids so at some point we may need help. We have a side business though so it pays for the LTC insurance. We have a couple term life insurance policies also, will have to make the same decision, when to stop them.

I figure Social Security check would take the place of annuity. -- Hokie360 10/12/2018 12:55PM

If you are not means tested out of SS, and keep in mind the payout is -- fordham 10/12/2018 1:11PM

Be prepared to be disappointed on the tax advice, unfortunately ** -- Hoke 10/12/2018 11:56AM
