I was reading the book "The Number" by Lee Eisenberg which talks about all things retirement and it helped connect a short video I watched months earlier on youtube about how a guy made an offhand comment that putting "3 mill into an annuity and your set for life" was a possible end game. I was wondering what people thought about immediate annuties as a way to secure payments for the rest of ones life. I did some math (correctly I hope) and assuming that you had a lump sum of $2,000,000 (the Paycheck Pot) you put that into an immediate annuity at my age of 29 it would pay me every month $7,673 or $92,076 yearly. If I wanted to invest my lump sum at 5% yields a year in securites or some other investment vehicle I would be getting $8,333 a month or $100,000 a year. Wouldnt it be more passive and less riskier to just put the money in an annuity vs putting my money in the stock market yet having to check everyday how the companies are doing? I wouldnt be making as much as the stock market but at the same time the price of having TOTALLY passive income coming to you monthly would offset that price difference. Does anybody have any information on this subject? I did a cursury search into the topic so I'm just beginning to understand it. Thanks
