Retirees in Hopkinsville, KY often use an annuity to cover essential monthly expenses so Social Security and other income sources are not carrying the full load.
An annuity is a contract with an insurance carrier that converts your savings into a stream of income, either right away or starting at a future date. Depending on the type, an annuity can offer a guaranteed interest rate, growth linked to a market index, or income you cannot outlive, no matter how long you live.

Back to the Hopkinsville, KY overview or the general Annuities overview.
An annuity is a contract with an insurance carrier where you contribute money, either as a lump sum or over time, in exchange for guaranteed income later, or in some cases immediately. Different annuity types offer different combinations of growth, protection and income.
Fixed and fixed indexed annuities are designed to protect your original principal from market losses, subject to the terms of the specific contract and any early withdrawal charges.
An indexed annuity credits interest based on the performance of a market index, but your money is not directly invested in the market. Gains are typically limited by a cap or participation rate, and principal is generally protected from index losses.
It depends on the annuity type. Immediate annuities can begin paying income right away, while deferred annuities are designed to grow for a period before income starts on a schedule you choose.
