Annuities have their place---especially for someone you want to guarantee income for in the future. For example, a challenged relative or child, not EVERBODY follows the Market or is capable of investing their own funds. There are others who just want the "comfort" of regular income without the "hassle".
If an insurance company like Met or Prudendial goes belly up---we are all in trouble.
