Annuities Can Help You Outlive Your Savings. Here's How.

With the cost of living continuing to rise, it’s no wonder that people are looking for ways to stretch their savings. Annuities can be a helpful tool for this, providing a guaranteed stream of income that can help to offset rising expenses.

Annuities are insurance contracts that provide a guaranteed payout in the future. They can be funded with a lump sum payment or with regular installments. Annuities are typically used by people who are retiring or who have lost a spouse and need a guaranteed income for life.

There are several types of annuities available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The best type of annuity for you will depend on your individual financial circumstances and goals.

One common type of annuity is the fixed annuity. This type of annuity provides a guaranteed interest rate for the life of the contract. The interest rate is set when the annuity is purchased and will not change, no matter how interest rates fluctuate in the market.

Another type of annuity is the variable annuity. This type of annuity is linked to a mutual fund portfolio. The value of the annuity will vary with the performance of the mutual funds. If the mutual funds perform well, the annuity will increase in value. However, if the mutual funds lose value, the annuity will also decrease in value.

A third type of annuity is the index annuity. This type of annuity is linked to a specific market index, such as the S&P 500. The annuity will increase in value if the index rises and will decrease in value if the index falls.

Annuity payments can be made for a specific period of time, such as 10 or 15 years, or they can continue for the lifetime of the annuitant. Annuity payments can also be adjusted to take into account inflation.

Annuity contracts can be complicated and it’s important to understand the terms of the contract before purchasing an annuity. You should also discuss your financial goals with a qualified financial advisor to determine if an annuity is right for you.

Annuity contracts are long-term investment vehicles and, like any investment vehicle, they are subject to risks, including the risk that the annuitiant may die before the annuity payments begin or that the annuity payments may be less than anticipated. It’s important to carefully consider the risks and benefits of annuities before making an investment decision.

1. Robinhood (DEgDVFa2DoW1533dxeDVdTxQFhMzs1pMke): This address is known to belong to the U.S. trading platform and it holds the most Dogecoin of any wallet.

At present, the firm’s cold wallet has nearly 29 billion DOGE worth nearly $6 billion or over 19% of the circulating supply.

The fact that it is a cold wallet also largely explains the minimal output. Despite receiving over 36 billion DOGE since May 2023 alone, the address has only sent out about 7 billion DOGE.

2. Upbit (D8ZEVbgf4yPs3MK8dMJJ7PpSyBKsbd66TX): Next up is a hot wallet belonging to leading Korean exchange Upbit. This address has 8.9 billion DOGE worth $1.8 billion.

Again, the fact that it is a hot wallet explains the high volume of activity, with 267 billion DOGE flowing through the account since 2014. Most of these funds were received in May 2023.

3. Binance (DE5opaXjFgDhFBqL6tBDxTAQ56zkX6EToX): The third largest holder of Dogecoin is Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by volume.

One of its cold wallets holds nearly 8 billion DOGE worth about $1.6 billion.
