[QUOTE="beatupbrown, post: 4976317, member: 4488"] I will give a tip on annuities stay away from them; they keep changing the names of the different ones they all end up being heavy in fees, if you really want an annuity go with Vanguard by far the cheapest way to invest in an annuity. I would still avoid them you can do better with basic index benchmarks, ETF based on age and risk tolerance. I was thrown into the fire of retirement early no pension from union. I managed to pick up how to invest took a few years. I invested in rental properties that was a great move there was some luck on the timing side after the 2008 crash a HUGE fire sale. Invested in physical gold too that ended up shooting all the way up to 2000 then fell back down sold it all bought another rental. I still am learning new stuff all the time folks that get cocky thinking they have the answers will miss out the market is changing all the time I try to keep up. Right know I am leaning towards EV stocks they were over bought then over sold the future will head that way just go long with a good FTF in the sector. Wrapping this up ETFs and index funds, rentals are the safe way to go. I will take risky moves with I call crazy money i.e., small amounts in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin. Dogecoin is really a total crap shot I put in $ 50.00. I am up 75% with all 3, they jump around a lot, look at in 10 years see what happened. [/QUOTE]
