As it pertains to financial matters, you have probably heard the old saying, “It’s not what you make that really matters. Rather, it’s how much you keep.”
This holds true during your working years, as well as when you enter into retirement. And during the latter period, there are actually a plethora of strategies for bringing in an income stream.
But how much will these income strategies end up costing you?
Where to Draw the Line on Annuity Fees
All of the above being said, it is still common to get “sticker shock” when you take a close look at the fees that are charged on any insurance or financial product – which is oftentimes akin to looking at a beefed up sports car…and then finding out that the “base” price only includes the frame and the wheels. All of the really cool stuff costs extra.
But here’s the thing – if you really want all of the additional or optional bells and whistles, they’re there for the taking (for an additional fee, of course). But if you don’t, then simply “uncheck” the box and you won’t be charged for them.
