Zombie thread? Yeah zombie thread. My fault for searching out "ipad" trying to find something I just posted.
Nikki's input on annuities is interesting, I'm considering something like that for my non-retirement investments (no point in buying into an annuity to tax shelter when 401k and IRAs already provide that) and I'm seeing lots of pros and cons. Anyone here bought into a fixed rate or variable annuity? They seem to get lumped in with the same con-men selling whole/universal life insurance as a retirement vehicle so I've typically steered clear.
