You can’t earn anything in bonds anymore, so annuities are actually pretty attractive as an alternative. Read or listen to anything by Dr Wade Pfau and you might change your mind.
We have no choice about social security but if we could have opted out 50 years ago would have.

Annuities are very important to the people who sell them. How else can they live the life they have gotten accustomed too.
