Actually, while most annuities are sold by insurance companies, a lifetime guaranteed annuity is the exact opposite of life insurance. In a lifetime annuity the company is betting you will die at or before an age calculated by the company.

Only way you can lose money in an annuity is in a variable annuity. One of like 20 types so let’s condemn every annuity. I suppose you love stocks and bonds because you can’t lose money right?
