My broker says a 5 yr annuity is paying 8%
With annuities, words have different meanings than what you think. The devil is in the details. And let me tell you, you need a financial education to understand their 100-page contracts of definitions and limitations. Also, you will never see a chart in an annuity brochure showing the actual performance of the product (you will only be shown a possible outcome of how it might work).
Your broker will make at least 8% if he sells you that 500K annuity ($40K).
You didn't pick the right financial advisor. Get the frick away from him ASAP.
Heres some Google stuff:

8% on a Fixed Annuity? Don't Believe It
Author(s)Ken Nuss
Ads touting 8% guarantees are misleading, though not quite false. Real rates around 4% range are attractive enough and much more reliable.
Can you earn 8% on a fixed annuity, guaranteed? Online ads often make this promise.
Those ads are misleading. They’re not completely false, but they set unrealistic expectations and we often have to talk clients back down to reality.
The truth is complex. Some annuities do indeed offer an 8% rate guarantee, but there’s a catch. That rate doesn’t guarantee the annuity’s actual return, instead, it guarantees the growth of an income account value created by an optional rider.
It’s not money you can withdraw. It sounds too good to be true, and it is.
Buying a lifetime income rider creates the income account value, which grows at a guaranteed annual rate of 4% to 8%. The income account value is used to calculate the amount of future guaranteed lifetime income payments. Most insurers charge an annual fee of about 1% of the annuity value for this option, typically available with indexed annuities.
What can you really earn?
That’s why some annuity marketers get away with claiming a misleading 8 percent return. Those ads are usually placed by marketing firms that sell the leads to annuity agents.

The minute she put the car in gear and revved that engine she, and she alone, sealed her fate. If she wasn’t there at all, if she was merely protesting but not interfering, if she had obeyed the order to get out of the car, if she didn’t put the car in gear all would have had different outcomes. Those are the true factual statements.
And IF the officer wouldn't have put himself in the line of fire (in front of the vehicle), then we wouldn't be dealing with this shite-show. He wouldn't have stood in front of a person with a loaded weapon, why in the hell would he stand in front of a vehicle?

Destroyed us? They created us! Kelly, the man who kept the receipts, failed so greatly with the loss, in an environment just hours before where there was no appetite to fire him and pay him 50 million, brought together money flappers who put skin in the game to resurrect the LSU Tigers! From the ashes, Lane Kiffin has emerged to bring LSU into the next age. An age unknown in Tiger history!

I used to listen to 104.5 on a C. Crane Pocket Radio. Now, I listen to the shows on YouTube live. Yes, when commercials kick in, my brain liquifies, and I'm hitting the volume quickly, just like radio.
Cool hack, I listen to other shows on YouTube until about an hour after the 104.5 show starts. Then, i switch to the show and fastforward when they start commercials. That, my friend, is how you take control of life.
