NOTE

Simplify and Consider Annuities for Retirement

Consider simplifying your finances before opting for annuities, as simplicity can help avoid difficulties. Basic annuities can be beneficial for wealthier individuals who struggle to spend from their growing portfolios.

Simplification is key to financial decision-making, as it can help individuals avoid unnecessary complications in their financial planning, such as holding onto unnecessary assets or oversized homes.
