Curious about annuities and how they can create a source of retirement income? There are two main stages of an annuity: 1) Accumulation Stage: This is when you invest and grow your savings. You can contribute a lump sum or make payments over time—whatever fits your financial situation. 2) Distribution Stage: Once you’re ready to start receiving income, you may choose how and when you receive the payouts, which could be paid for a set number of years or last a lifetime. Together, we can discuss how an annuity may fit in your overall financial plan. See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.
