FERS Annuitant vs. Annuity: The Difference Federal Employees Get Wrong
Description
"I already have an annuity" — Charles hears it weekly, and it's often a misconception. Being a FERS annuitant (a pension you earned) and owning an annuity (a financial tool you choose) sound identical and mean completely different things. Charles and Marcus clear it up — including why a survivor benefit lowers your pension, how a fixed indexed annuity works, and why it isn't right for every dollar.
