Thanks for the info Coach.
The VA I was being pushed into has a 6% interest, but it expires at the end of the year. My issue is, we have no kids/grandchildren to leave our fortune to (LOL) so I feel it is safer in the 3% fixed we have it in now. Haven't we lost enough $$ in the stock market?
"I have three months to live" I want to go out in a blaze of glory. Don't need any hassles with drawing money. I believe the money tied up my my fixed account, money in CD's, SS and pension is enough to carry us, there is no need to risk losing a big chunk. Okay we might not be able to take a cruise every three months and will have to keep driving my 2003 Mini Cooper but at least I will be able to sleep at night. And if I live to be 100, then I might be screwed. But I'll worry about that in another 36 years.
