Press Release Body = With the advancements in our scientific and medical know-how,
people are living longer than ever, with a lower mortality rate and higher life
expectancy. The idea of living a longer, healthier life appeals to all of us. But
how many of us properly plan for our future income needs? The crippling costs of
healthcare and the constant rise in inflation continue to compound this financial
predicament. Confronted with the realities of this situation, perhaps it is time to
consider an immediate annuity.

An immediate annuity is a type of fixed annuity, which provides you an income stream
for a predefined period of time. There are many annuities designed to build value
for retirement, but immediate annuities are designed to provide income immediately
after purchasing the annuity. A fixed immediate annuity is a contract between you
and an insurance company. You purchase the annuity with a single premium payment in
one installment. The funds used to purchase an immediate annuity can come from
savings or investment accounts, your individual retirement account (IRA) or even
from another annuity you may already own. The income from the annuity starts 1-12
months after purchase depending on you requirements.

With the current trend, buying an immediate annuity is the latest 'en vogue'
planning technique. An Immediate annuity is one of the best and most trusted
vehicles for distributing savings with tax benefits. A tax exclusion ratio is
applied to the annuity that helps to limit the percentage of your income payments
that are subject to taxation. The insurance company assumes the risk of the payouts
which can last your entire lifetime. You are also provided various payout options
with immediate annuities that allow you to structure a payment schedule that best
suits your circumstances. Payments can be made for your individual lifetime, both
you and your spouse's lifetimes or for a certain period of time.

One of the biggest advantages of an immediate annuity is that it can easily be
purchased with funds from a variety of possible sources. Those sources can include a
maturing certificate of deposit (CD), monies which have accumulated in a deferred
annuity account, or funds from a tax-qualified defined benefit, 401k or IRA account.
As per the current tax law, a portion of each payment received from a non-qualified
immediate annuity is tax free until your complete premium is fully recovered.
