Client asks: annuity or ...?

Your client compares an annuity with a CD, a pension, a 401(k) or life insurance. Show both sides, labeled.

Clients compare before they buy. A fair side-by-side, every number labeled, helps you answer "why not what I have?" and close the right case. Sometimes keeping it is right.
