3/24    Has anyone put money into annuities? Any good/bad stories?
        I'm thinking of putting my parents' money into it (they're way over
        59 1/2 so they quality) since it has significant tax advantages.
        \_ My parents just did, so I can't really say anything about the
           long term effects.  I'd say it sounds like a good idea just to avoid
           future problems with dimentia.
        \_ Do you have to be 59 1/2? Annuities are probably a Good Thing,
           but I would ladder into them in this low-interest enviornment.
