What are Annuities and When Should I Start One?

Understanding annuities can be complicated with so many types of annuities available. They’re sold by insurance companies, but they’re referred to as investments. They may be a smart choice for some people, but they’re not for everyone (and they may or may not be right for you). They provide income for life that you won’t outlive, provided you pick the right insurer. You buy an annuity for the long term, knowing it likely won’t outperform the stock market in that time period.

Estate Planning Guide and Checklist: 10 Tips to Get Started

According to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), nearly 60% of all Americans are without a will or other essential legal documents.  Many people think estate planning is reserved for the rich, but it’s in your best interest to plan for who you want to receive your stuff after you pass away.  Without your own legal documents, most states will make that decision for you through their intestate laws.  One of the easiest ways to make sure that all of your money goes where you want it to, is through current beneficiary designations on any account that allows this choice.  Then a will can cover anything that you own that doesn’t have a beneficiary option.
