This is a very informative, easy to understand, resource on annuities. Who wants to spend their free time reading about financial instruments?? But, in today's economy you need to know the details from an impartial source and this helped me to understand the basics. If you want to learn the basics on your own time and not in a sales brochure, this one is worth buying.

"Annuities For Dummies", by Kerry Pechter, is a wonderful book! Annuities can be wickedly complicated (and are often far more complicated than they ought to be), but Pechter's explanation is uniformly clear and understandable. That, alone, would make his book unusually valuable. But it's also accurate and fair, which makes it darned near unique among writings about insurance products by financial journalists. I'm an annuity expert (co-author of "The Annuity Advisor" and author of numerous articles, in various journals, about annuities), and I found this book informative. (I wish I'd made certain points as clearly as Kerry does). I've recommended it to insurance agents and consumers and will continue to do so. - John L. Olsen, CLU, ChFC, AEP

Great book - clears up a lot of the mystery of a lot of fine print you'll encounter when looking into annuities. Service from the seller was top-notch, book in perfect condition, shipped promptly, and lowest price. Couldn't be more pleased with the experience.

I recently purchased Annuities for Dummies and absolutely couldn't put it down. This book tells you everything you need to know regarding annuities. No need to rely on an insurance salesman telling you what you need and charging you a fortune (high fees)for the advice. I was surprised in the later chapters of the book at some of the detailed investment/income strategies involving annuities. His discussion of immediate annuity strategies was particularly useful to me.
