Show Notes
Jim and Chris discuss listener emails on delayed Social Security credits, annuity provider ratings, DIA versus QLAC income planning, and fixed indexed annuity (FIA) recommendations.
(10:30) A listener shares a long delay in receiving additional Delayed Retirement Credits on their Social Security benefit and asks whether there are any further steps to take or whether patience is the best option.
(26:00) Another listener passes along Kiplinger reader survey results on annuity providers and asks whether the information may be useful in a broader discussion about choosing an insurance company.
(45:00) The guys are asked when a deferred income annuity (DIA) might be better than a qualified longevity annuity contract (QLAC) inside an IRA, especially given the potential RMD and tax advantages of a QLAC.
(1:15:45) Jim and Chris respond to a listener nearing retirement who was advised to move TSP G Fund money into a fixed indexed annuity (FIA) and wants to understand whether that is better than keeping the funds in the TSP and using a withdrawal strategy.
