Annuities
				
An Annuity is an insurance product in which you invest a sum of money in exchange for a 
steady stream of payments during your retirement years. 
The payments can be set for the rest of your life, OR for a set number of years.  You can also decide if you want the payments to be for 1 or for 2 people. 
There are 
2 types of annuities: 
Deferred Annuity - you invest for a specific period of time, then start to receive the payments after retirement occurs 
Immediate Annuity - the payments start as soon as you invest in the annuity
