Annuity steak-dinner pitch?

Retirees sign annuities yearly. Fees hide deeply.

1. The problem

Near-retirees sign annuity pitches yearly. Steak dinners sell comfort falsely. Surrender fees lock decades. Riders stack costs opaquely. The hardest part is plain decoding fast. A signature might cost fortunes. That uncertainty makes it hard to retire informed.

What people are saying

“Signing yearly pitched here. I need plain decoders with compare flows.”

2. What exists

Advisors, prospectuses and regulators explain annuities, while signing persists yearly. Advisors earn commissions. Prospectuses run hundreds pages. There is little help with plain decoders plus compare flows for retirees.

3. The solution

The solution could be a retire-informed engine. It could decode fees simply plainly. It could compare alternatives honestly. Fiduciary routing could advise cleanly. The goal would be kept fortunes, calm retirements.
